Now, the chords from the first two verses repeat.
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
And the moon rose over an open field
Kathy I'm lost I said though I knew she was sleeping
I'm empty and aching and I don't know why
Counting the cars on the New Jersey Turnpike
They've all come to look for America
D G D Cmaj7 C
All come to look for Ameri - ca
D G D Cmaj7 C
All come to look for Ameri - ca
repeat and fade
