  [C][C/B][Am][C/G][F]
  [C]Let us be [C/B]lovers, we'll [Am]marry our [C/G]fortunes to[F]gether
  [C]I've got some [C/B]real-estate [Am]here in my bag
[Em7]  So we bought a pack of [A9]cigaretts,[Em7] and Mrs. Wagner [A7]pies
  And [D]walked [C]off to [G]look for Am[C]er [C/B]- ic - [Am]a[Am/G][F]

  [C]Kathy, I [C/B]said as we [Am]boarded a [C/G]Greyhound in [F]Pittsburg
  [C]Michigan [C/B]seems like a [Am]dream to me now
  [G]It took me four days to hitch-hike from Saginaw
  [D]I've [G]come to [D]look for Am[Cmaj7]erica

  [Bbmaj7]Laughing on the bus, playing [C]games with the faces
  [Bbmaj7]She said the man in the gabardine suit was a [C]spy
  [F]I said be careful his [Fmaj7]bowtie is really a [C]camera[C/B][Am][C/G][Am/F#][Fmaj7]

  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, and she read her magazine
  An 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 [D]all [G]come to [D]look for Am[Cmaj7]erica[C]
  [D]All [G]come to [D]look for Am[Cmaj7]erica[C]
  [D]All [G]come to [D]look for Am[Cmaj7]erica[C]
