little pink houses — текст песни (mellencamp john)

Here`s Little Pink Houses. It`s a fun song to play. As you listen to
the recorded version, you`ll get the feel.

G-C-G (play 4 times)

When you`re doing the intro, just let off the A string for that Johnny Cougar feel...


G G
There`s a black man, with a black head (?)
G G
Living in a black neighborhood
G G
He`s got a interstate running through his front yard
G F C G
You know he thinks he`s....got it so good.
G G G
And there`s a woman, in the kitchen, cleaning up the evening slop
G F
And he looks at `er and says
C G
Hey Darlin` I remember when you could, stop a clock
C G
But ain`t that America, for you and me
C G
Ain`t that America, somethin` to see baby
C D
Ain`t that America, home of the free
C G
Little Pink Houses for you and me, yeah for you and me

BACK TO INTRO X4

G G G G
Now there`s a young man, in a t-shirt, listening to a rock and rollin` station
G G
He`s got greasy hair and a, greasy smile,
F C G
he says Lord this must be my destination
G G G G
I remember, when I was younger, say`n Boy ya gonna be the President
F C G
But just like everything else, those crazy dreams, kinda came and went

REPEAT CHORUS

REPEAT INTRO X4

VERSE 3:
G G G
Now there`s people, and more people, and what do they know know know
G G F C G
Go to work in some high-rise, and vacation down at the Gulf of Mexico!!! (ooooh yeah)
G G G G
There`s winners, and there`s losers, but that ain`t no big deal
F C G
Cause the simple man, baby, pays the bills, the thrills, the bills that kill(?)

REPEAT CHORUS

REPEAT INTRO 4 TIMES
