Ooo Ooo Ooo Ooo Ooooooh   Ooo Ooo Ooo Ooo Ooooooh 
G                       Em        G          C 
Let us be lovers, we'll marry our fortunes together 
G                         Em         Em7 
I've got some real-estate here in my bag ooooo 
Bm                     E7              Bm          E7 
So we bought a pack of cigarettes, and Mrs. Wagner pies 
    A      G      D        G    Em 
And walked off to look for America 

G                  Em          G            C 
Cathy I said as we boarded the Greyhound in Pittsburg 
G                     Em          Em7 
Michigan seems like a dream to me now 
D                                       Bm    
It took me four days to hitch-hike from Saginaw 
    A    D       A         Gmaj7  G 
And I've come to look for America 

F                           G 
Laughing on the bus, playing games with the faces 
F                                            G 
She said the man in the gabardine suit was a spy 
C                                        G       Em    C 
I said be careful his bowtie is really a camera 

G                  Em               G         C 
Toss me a cigarette I think there's one in my raincoat 
G                         Em    Em7 
We smoked the last one an hour ago 
Bm                 E7       Bm           E7       
So I looked at the scenery, she read her magazine 
        A    G    D       G    Em        
And the moon rose over an open field 

G                 Em             G            C 
Cathy I'm lost, I said, though I knew she was sleeping 
    G                      Em         Em7 
I'm empty and aching and I don't know why 
D                                   Bm 
Counting the cars on the New Jersey Turnpike 
        A   D       A         Gmaj7 
They've all come to look for America 
        A   D       A         Gmaj7 
They've all come to look for America 
        A   D       A         Gmaj7 
They've all come to look for America 
        A   D       A         Gmaj7  G   C 
They've all come to look for America 

G   Em   G   C   G      C
