Down Half Step from Conventional Key


[Intro]
 
 F#   B  F#   (x4)
(Riff: F#  Bb  C#  F# Chord to B Chord)

 
When you're doing the intro, just let off the A string for that Johnny Cougar feel...
 
 
[Verse]
 
 F#                                   F# 
There's a black man, with a black cat
 F#                           F# 
Living in a black neighborhood
 F#                                            F# 
He's got a interstate running through his front yard
 F#             E             B          F# 
You know he thinks he's....got it so good.
 F#                             F#                              F# 
And there's a woman, in the kitchen, cleaning up the evening slop
 F#        E 
And he looks at 'er and says
         B                           F# 
Hey Darlin' I remember when you could, stop a clock
 
 
[Chorus]
 
                   B                F# 
But ain't that America, for you and me
                 B                 F# 
Ain't that America, somethin' to see baby
                 B                 C# 
Ain't that America, home of the free

 F#   B  F#   (x4)
 
 
[Verse]
 
 F#                  F#             F#                            F# 
Now there's a young man, in a t-shirt, listening to a rock and rollin' station
 F#                         F# 
He's got greasy hair and a, greasy smile,
         E             B              F# 
he says "Lord this must be my destination"
          F#                   F#                F#                    F# 
Cause he told me, when I was younger, sayin' "Boy ya gonna be President"
               E                      B                           F# 
But just like everything else, those crazy dreams, kinda came and went
 
 
[Chorus]
 
                   B                F# 
But ain't that America, for you and me
                 B                 F# 
Ain't that America, somethin' to see baby
                 B                 C# 
Ain't that America, home of the free
                        B                            F# 
Little Pink Houses for you and me, yeah for you and me
 
 F#   B  F#   (x4)
 
 
[Verse]
 
             F#                F#                          F# 
Now there's people, and more people, and what do they know know know
 F#             F#                   E                    B       F# 
Go to work in some high-rise, and vacation down at the Gulf of Mexico!!! (ooooh yeah)
         F#                    F#          F#                 F# 
There's winners, and there's losers, but that ain't no big deal
          E                          B                        F# 
Cause the simple man, baby, pays for thrills, with bills, and pills that kill
 
 
[Chorus]

But ain't that America, for you and me
