Capo on 9.
[Verse 1]
C Am C G Fmaj7 C Am C G Fmaj7
Ooo Ooo Ooo Ooo Ooooooh Ooo Ooo Ooo Ooo Ooooooh
C Am C G Fmaj7
Let us be lovers, we'll marry our fortunes together
C Am
I've got some real-estate here in my bag ooooo
Em A Em A
So we bought a pack of cigarettes, and Mrs. Wagner pies
D G D C Fmaj7
And walked off to look for America
[Verse 2]

Cathy I said as we boarded the Greyhound in Pittsburg
C Am
Michigan seems like a dream to me now
G
It took me four days to hitch-hike from Saginaw
D G D C
And I've come to look for America
Fmaj7 C
Laughing on the bus, playing games with the faces
Fmaj7 C
She said the man in the gabardine suit was a spy
Fmaj7 C Am C G Fmaj7
I said be careful his bowtie is really a camera
[Verse 3]
C Am C G Fmaj7
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
D G D C Fmaj7
And the moon rose over an open field
[Verse 4]
C Am C G Fmaj7
Cathy I'm lost, I said, though I knew she was sleeping
C Am
I'm empty and aching and I don't know why
G
Counting the cars on the New Jersey Turnpike
D G D C
They've all come to look for America

They've all come to look for America
D G D C
They've all come to look for America
D G D C
They've all come to look for America
[Outro]

First aid kit made a musicvideo on this cover, in that video you can see how they are playing on the guitarr (not all the time) and then you can see that it's completely different from the chords here.
The chords that first aid kit use are very similar to the chords that Simon and Garfunkel use, they have only made a few differences.
