Intro: [CM7] [C] [FM7] [F] (X2)

[C] Let us be l[C]overs, we'll[F] marry our fortunes[F] together.
[C] I've got some[Am] real estate here in my ba[Am]g.
[Em] So we bought[A] a pa[Em]ck of[A] cigarettes, and Mrs. Wagner's pies,
[D]An[C]d [G]wa[CM7]lked [C] o[FM7]ff t[F]o look foooor America.

[C] "Kath[C]y", I said,[F] as we boarded the [F]Greyhound in Pittsburgh,
[C] Michigan [Am]seems like a dream to[Am] me now.
[G] It took me [G]four days to hitch-hike from Saginaw.
[D] [G] &q[D]uot[CM7] ;I've[C] [FM7] come[F] to look foooor America."

Break: [Fm]

[Dm] Laughing on the bus,
[Am] Playing games with the faces,
[Dm] She said the man in the gabardine suit
Was [Am]a spy. [C] [C7]

[FM7] I said, "Be careful,
[F]His bow tie[CM7] is real[C]ly a c[FM7]amera.&[F]quot;

[C] "Toss [C]me a cigarette,[F] I think [F]there's one in my raincoat." She said:
[C] "We smoke[Am]d the last one [Am]an hour ago".

And [D]th[C]e [G]mo[CM7]on [C] [FM7] ro[F]se oveeeeeeeer an open field.

[C] "Kathy, I[C]'m lost",[F] I said, tho[F]ugh I knew she was sleeping.
[C] &q[C]uot;I'[Am]m empty [Am]and aching and I don't know why."
