AMERICA This is what I hear out of the David Bowie live cover of this song written by Simon and Garfunkel at The Concert For New York in 2002. Some improvement is surely possible for some parts (thinking particularly of the ending of the break part " laughing on the bus "). I believe it should be done in a ¾ rythm. Intro: CM7 C FM7 F (X2)

^C Let us be l^Covers, we'll^F marry our fortunes^F together. ^C I've got some^Am real estate here in my ba^Amg. ^Em So we bought^A a pa^Emck of^A cigarettes, and Mrs. Wagner's pies, ^DAn^Cd ^Gwa^CM7lked ^C o^FM7ff t^Fo look foooor America.

^C "Kath^Cy", I said,^F as we boarded the ^FGreyhound in Pittsburgh, ^C Michigan ^Amseems like a dream to^Am me now. ^G It took me ^Gfour days to hitch-hike from Saginaw. ^D ^G &q^Duot^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 ^Ama spy. ^C ^C7

^FM7 I said, "Be careful, ^FHis bow tie^CM7 is real^Cly a c^FM7amera.&^Fquot;

^C "Toss ^Cme a cigarette,^F I think ^Fthere's one in my raincoat." She said: ^C "We smoke^Amd the last one ^Aman hour ago". ^Em So I ^Agaze^Emd at the sce^Anery, she read her magazine; And ^Dth^Ce ^Gmo^CM7on ^C ^FM7 ro^Fse oveeeeeeeer an open field.

^C "Kathy, I^C'm lost",^F I said, tho^Fugh I knew she was sleeping. ^C &q^Cuot;I'^Amm empty ^Amand aching and I don't know why."

^G Count^Ging the cars on the New Jersey Turnpike The^D'v^Ge ^Dal^CM7l ^C come to look foooor America, ^D ^G ^DAl^CM7l ^C come to look foooor America, ^D ^G ^DAl^CM7l ^C come to look foo-ooor America.
