          BERT SOMMERS

INTRO: NONE

VERSE:
 D     F#m      Bm    D     G   G
Let us be lovers, we'll marry our fortunes together
 D            Bm     Bm7
I've got some real-estate here in my bag
F#m            B
  So we bought a pack of cigarettes,
F#m         B
  And Mrs. Wagners pies
    A   D   A     D   D Bm7 D G
And we walked off to look for America

VERSE:
 D    F#m    Bm     D      G     G
Cathy I said as we boarded the Greyhound in Pittsburg
 D           Bm     Bm7
Michigan seems like a dream to me now
A
It took me four days to hitch-hike from Saginaw
 E  A    E     Dmaj7 G
I've come to look for America


VERSE:
D     F#m   Bm        D     G    G
Toss me a cigarette I think there's one in my raincoat
D       Dmaj7    Bm Bm7
We smoked the last one an hour ago
F#m           B7
  So I looked at the scenery,
F#m7       B
  She read the magazines
     A  D  A    D     A Bm7 D G
And the moon rose over an open field


VERSE:
D     A     Bm7
Cathy I'm lost, Oh,I said,
     D       G    G
though I knew she was sleeping
  D     F#m    Bm      Bm7
I'm empty I'm aching and I don't know why
 A
Counting the cars on the New Jersey Turnpike
     E  A    E     Dmaj7
They've all come to look for America
 E  A    E     Dmaj7
All come to look for America
     E  A    E     Dmaj7
They've all come to look for America
