Let us be lovers, we'll marry our fortunes together

I've got some real-estate here in my bag ooooo
Em                                  A                     Em                 A
So we bought a pack of cigarettes, and Mrs. Wagner pies
          D        G       D            C       F
And walked off to look for America

C                             Am             G                   F
Cathy I said as we boarded the Greyhound in Pittsburg

Michigan seems like a dream to me now
G
It took me four days to hitch-hike from Saginaw
         D   G           D              C
And I've come to look for America
F                                             C
Laughing on the bus, playing games with the faces
F                                                                      C
She said the man in the gabardine suit was a spy

I said be careful his bowtie is really a camera

Toss me a cigarette I think there's one in my raincoat

We smoked the last one an hour ago
Em                           A         Em                  A
So I looked at the scenery, she read her magazine
                D       G   D              C    F
And the moon rose over an open field

[Verse 4]

C              Am      C                     G                      F
Cathy I'm lost, I said, though I knew she was sleeping
C                                     Am
I'm empty and aching and I don't know why
G
Counting the cars on the New Jersey Turnpike
               D G           D             C
They've all come to look for America
              D   G          D              C
They've all come to look for America
