BRIDGE 

Bbmaj7 
Laughing on the bus 
        C 
Playing games with the faces 
Bbmaj7                                       C 
She said the man in the gabardine suit was a spy

Now, the chords from the first two verses repeat. 

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

Kathy I'm lost I said though I knew she was sleeping 
I'm empty and aching and I don't know why 
Counting the cars on the New Jersey Turnpike 
They've all come to look for America 
D   G       D        Cmaj7   C 
All come to look for Ameri - ca 
D   G       D        Cmaj7   C 
All come to look for Ameri - ca 

repeat and fade
