D#m B
MAN: Oh, it's six o'clock and it's time to rock
G#m C#m G#m
And me head is beatin' like a drum
G#m B D#m
In the cold day light, ah I feel like shite
B E G#m
And I can't remember last night's fun
B F# B
Then the foreman says, "C'mon now boys
B D#m C#m E
Stick your fingers down your throat and get to work"
B G#m F# D#m
And I wish to Christ I'd stayed home last night
G#m C#m G#m
Instead of drinkin' in America
G#m F# D#m
Oh, I knock down walls with big iron balls
B G#m
And I mix cement by the ton
G#m F# D#m
With me tongue hangin' out for a bottle of stout
E C#m G#m
Sweatin' bullets in the Brooklyn sun
B F# B
Then I think of her up on Kings Bridge Road
B C#m
Did she mean what she said last night
G#m F# D#m
Oh, Mammy dear, we're all mad over here
G#m C#m G#m
Livin' in America
G#m F# D#m
B G#m
G#m F# D#m
WOMAN: On me way downtown, I think of that clown
G#m C#m G#m
And the things that he said last night
G#m F# D#m
Did he mean 'em at all or was it just drink talk
D#m C#m G#m
Oh, I must look a terrible sight
B F# B
Put me makeup on as I watch the sun
B D#m C#m E
Rise high over Fordham Road
G#m F# D#m
BOTH: Oh, Mammy dear, we're all mad over here
B C#m G#m
Livin' in America
G#m F# D#m
WOMAN: Oh, the kids aren't dressed and the house is a mess
C#m G#m
And the yuppies are networkin' again
G#m F# B
Kiss their darlin's goodbye, "Oh, we'll be late tonight
B G#m
But we should be home by eleven"
B F# B
Oh, me little dears dry up your tears
B C#m E
BOTH: Your parents are too busy makin' money
G#m F# D#m
Oh, Mammy dear, we're all mad over here
G#m C#m G#m
Livin' in America
E F#
MAN: Workin' with the black man, Dominican and Greek
E F#
In the snows of January or the drenchin' August heat
G#m E
No sick days or benefits and for Christ's sake don't get hurt
G#m G#m
The quacks over here won't patch you up
G#m
Unless they see the bucks upfront
E F#
WOMAN: Lookin' after babies from crack of dawn 'til dusk
E F#
Changin' dirty nappies and cleanin' up the house
C# E
BOTH: Is this what I've been educated for
E F#
To wipe the arse of every baby in America?
G#m F#
G#m G#m
G#m F# D#m
G#m C#m G#m
B F# B
B C#m
G#m F# D#m
G#m C#m G#m
G#m F# D#m
MAN: Now the day is done, take the subway home
G#m C#m G#m
Squashed up like some sardine in a can
G#m F#
In the Blarney Stone, drink a gallon of foam
C#m F# G#m
'Til I'm feelin' half myself again
B F# B
If she comes tonight, I'll ask her outright
B D#m C#m
Ah, what the hell, nothin' ventured nothin' gained
G#m F# D#m
And if she takes a chance, she might find romance
E C#m G#m B
Now she's livin' in America
G#m F#
WOMAN: See him standing there with the ring in his ear
G#m G#m
And the grin on the side of his face
G#m F# D#m
With the fag in his mouth oh I should watch out
G#m G#m
For they say that he's a real hard case
B F# B
Should I take me chance or say no thanks?
B C#m E
BOTH: Ah, what the hell, nothin' ventured nothin' gained
G#m F# D#m
Oh, Mammy dear, we're all mad over here
G#m C#m G#m
Livin' in America
G#m F#
Oh, Mammy dear, we're all mad over here
B G#m
Livin' in America
G#m F# D#m
Oh, Mammy dear, we're all mad over here
E G#m
Livin' in America
G#m F#
Oh, Mammy dear, we're all mad over here
G#m
Livin' in America
