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...
GThere's a black man, with a black heGad (')
GLiving in a black neighborhoGod
GHe's got a interstate running through his froGnt yard
GYou know he thFinks he's....gCot it so goGod.
GAnd there's a woman, in the kiGtchen, cleaning up the evening Gslop
GAnd he loFoks at 'er and says
Hey DarliCn' I remember when you couldG, stop a clock
But ain't that AmerCica, for you and Gme
Ain't that AmericCa, somethin' to seGe baby
Ain't that AmericCa, home of the freDe
Little Pink Houses for yCou and me, yeah for you and mGe
BACK TO INTRO X4
GNow there's a youngG man, in a t-sGhirt, listening to a rock andG rollin' station
GHe's got greasy hair and aG, greasy smile,
he says &Fquot;Lord thisC must be my desGtination"
I remembeGr, when I was younGger, say'n &quoGt;Boy ya gonna be theG President"
But just like eFverything else, those cCrazy dreams, kinda came and Gwent

Cause the Fsimple man, baby, pays the Cbills, the thrills, the Gbills that kill(')
