1. "Let us be lovers we'll marry our fortunes together
   C              Cmaj7       Ami(Ami7)
   I've got some real estate here in my bag."
    Emi7                   A7             Emi7          A9
   So we bought a pack of cigarettes and Mrs. Wagner's pies
   Emi7 D     C       G         C   Cmaj7 Ami Ami7 F
   and walked off to look for America.

2. "Kathy" I said as we boarded a Greyhound in Pittsburgh
   "Michigan seems like a dream to me now
   G
   it took me four days to hitchhike from Saginaw
    D    G       D         Cmaj7 C
   I've come to look for America."
    Bmaj7          B          C
R: Laughing on the bus playing games with the faces
     Bmaj7                                       C
   she said the man in the gabardine suit was a spy
   F                       Fmaj7              C
   I said:"Be careful his bowtie is really a cam'ra."

3. "Toss me a cigarette I think there's one in my raincoat."
   "We smoked the last one an hour ago."
    Gmi7                A9      Emi7        A9
   So I looked at the scenery she read her magazine
            D    C   G       C Cmaj7 Ami7 C F
   and the moon rose over an open   field.
                                                   F     Fmaj7 Emi7

4. "Kathy I'm lost" I said though I knew she was sleeping
   F    C
   "I'm empty and aching and I don't know why."
    G
   Counting the cars on the New Jersey Turnpike
           D    G       D         Cmaj7 C
   they've all come to look for America
   D    G       D         Cmaj7 C D    G       D         Cmaj7 C
   all come to look for America   all come to look for America ...
