1. "Let us be lovers we'll marry our fortunes together 
   C              Cmaj7       Ami(Ami7) 
   I've got some real estate here in my bag." 
    Emi7                   A7             Emi7          A9 
   So we bought a pack of cigarettes and Mrs. Wagner's pies 
   Emi7 D     C       G         C   Cmaj7 Ami Ami7 F 
   and walked off to look for America. 
2. "Kathy" I said as we boarded a Greyhound in Pittsburgh 
   "Michigan seems like a dream to me now 
   G 
   it took me four days to hitchhike from Saginaw 
    D    G       D         Cmaj7 C 
   I've come to look for America."

     Bbmaj7                                       C 
   she said the man in the gabardine suit was a spy 
   F                       Fmaj7              C 
   I said:"Be careful his bowtie is really a cam'ra." 
3. "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 she read her magazine 
            D    C   G       C Cmaj7 Ami7 C F 
   and the moon rose over an open   field.

4. "Kathy I'm lost" I said though I knew she was sleeping 
   F    C 
   "I'm empty and aching and I don't know why."

   Counting the cars on the New Jersey Turnpike
