VERSE I 
 
          G 
There's a black man       with a black cat 
 
 
livin' in a black neighbourhood 
 
 
He's got an   interstate  running through his front yard. 
 
             F             C         G 
You know, he thinks he's   got it so good 
 
 
And there`s a woman   in the kitchen   cleanin' up the evening slop. 
 
           F 
And he looks at her and says, "Hey darlin', 
 
C                              G 
I can remember when you could   stop a clock" 
                       C                      G 
Oh, but ain't that Amer-i-ca,  for you and me!- 
 
                       C                      G 
Oh, but ain't that Amer-i-ca,  somethin' to see, baby! 
 
                       C                       G 
Oh, but ain't that Amer-i-ca,  home of the free!--- 
 
 
Yeah, little pink houses   for you and me, 
 
 
Oh-- yeah, for you and me.  
> Repeat Intro 
 
 
VERSE II 
 
Well there's a young man    in a T-shirt 
listin' to a rockin' rollin' station. 
He's got   greasy hair and a    greasy smile that says, 
"Lord, this must  be my destination" 
 
'Cause they told me   when I was younger, "Boy, you gonna be President" 
But just like ev'rything else, those old crazy dreams just kinda   came 
  and went 
 
> Repeat Chorus and Intro 
 
 
VERSE III 
 
Well there's people     and more people.  What do they know?---- 
Got to work in some high rise and vacation down at the Gulf of Mexico. 
And there's winners   and there's losers,   but they ain't no big deal. 
 
`Cause the simple man, baby, pays for the thrills,   the bills, 
   and the pills that kill. 
 
 
> Repeat Chorus
Versión 2 - Songs About Me (Letra y acordes)
G                  G/E 
I met a guy on the red eye 
   G/Bb                        F 
He spotted my guitar and said what do you do? 
        G            G/E 
I said, I sing for a living, 
        G/Bb                       F 
Country music mixed with a little rock and a little blues 
        G                   G/E 
He said I'm sorry but I've never been crazy  
           G/Bb                 F 
'bout that twang and trains and hillbilly thing 
G                          G/E 
What ever made you want to sing stuff like that? 
        G/Bb              F 
I just looked at him and laughed and said 
 
 
Chorus: 
            G          F   C 
Cause it's songs about me 
     G    F   C 
And who I am 
             G          F       
Songs about loving and living  
     C                      G          F   C 
And good hearted women and family and God 
                       G           F  C 
Yeah they're all just songs about me 
G           F  C     D (1st & 3rd Chorus) 
Songs about me 
 
 
G                 G/E 
So I offered him tickets 
              G/Bb                    F 
I said you'll see what I mean if you show up tonight 
        G                         G/E 
He said I doubt you'll change my opinion 
     G/Bb                  F 
I'll be kind of busy, but hey man, I'll try 
G                      G/E 
Then later on when we finished our songs 
       G/Bb               F 
About scars and cars and broken hearts, I saw him 
G                           G/E 
He was standing there right next to the stage, and he shouted  
G/Bb                       F          
Man you were right it was like you sang those 
 
 
Chorus 
 
 
   Bb 
So I'll just keep on singing 
        D 
'til I hear the whole world singing "those are.... 
 
 
Chorus (ends on G)
