Mellencamp John Cougar - Little Pink Houses guitar tab

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

Now there's a young man, in a t-shirt, listening to a rock and rollin' station

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"

G G G

Now there's people, and more people, and what do they know know know
