D         A/C#            Bm        A          G
                Let us be lovers, we'll marry our fortunes together
                D             A/C#          Bm
                I've got some real-estate here in my bag
                F#m                     B7  B4          F#m    B7     
           So we bought a pack of cigarettes, and Mrs. Wagner pies
                    A      D      A    Bm C#m Bm   G
                And walked off to look for America

            D       A/C#          Bm          A            G
            Cathy I said as we boarded the Greyhound in Pittsburg
                D        A/C#            Bm 
                Michigan seems like a dream to me now
                A
                It took me four days to hitch-hike from Savannah
                E    A       E         Dmaj7
                I've come to look for America

                C7M                           D7M
                Laughing on the bus, playing games with the faces
                C7M                                          D7M
                She said the man in the garbadine suit was a spy
                C7M                   A7                  D
                I said be careful his bowtie is really a camera

                REPETE INTRO: D  A/C#  Bm  A  G

           D         A/C#         Bm              A         G
           Toss me a cigarette I think there's one in my raincoat
                D         A/C#          Bm
                We smoked the last one an hour ago
           F#m                 B7 B4      F#m               B7
           So I looked at the scenery, and she read her magazine
                       A    D    A Bm C#m D A/C# Bm G
                An the moon rose over an open field


           D         A/C#    Bm             A               G
           Cathy I'm lost, I said, though I knew she was sleeping
                    D          A/C#      Bm
                I'm empty and aching and I don't know why
                A
                Counting the cars on the New Jersey Turnpike
                        E   A       E        Dmaj7
                They've all gone to look for America
                        E   A       E        Dmaj7
                They've all gone to look for America
                        E   A       E        Dmaj7
                They've all gone to look for America
