What Made America Famous Ukulele tab

	  G                                 C     C/B 
It was the town that made America famous 
    Am                     D                G                               The churches full and the kids  
gone to hell 
G 
Six traffic lights, and seven cops 
    C                        C  C/B 
And all the streets kept clean 
Am                       D                  C              G 
The supermarket and the drug store and the bars all doin' well 
 
G                                         C      C/B 
Now they were the folks that made America famous 
    Am              C                  D                  G 
Our local fire department stocked with short-haired volunteers 
G 
And on Saturday night, while America boozes 
    C                            C      C/B 
The fire department showed dirty movies 
    Am                     C/B    Am   C/G                      Am         C/G 
The lawyer and the grocer seein' their dreams come to life on the movie screen 
F                               D                    C 
While the plumber hopes that he won't be seen, as he tries to hide his fears 
                      G 
And he wipes away his tears 
 
    Bb                  A 
But somethin's burinin' somewhere 
     B       G 
DOES ANYBODY CARE? 
 
G                                  C      C/B 
We were the kids that made America famous 
    Am                                     D          G 
The kind of kids that long since drove our parents to despair 
G 
We were lazy long-hairs droppin' out 
C                           C   C/B 
Lost, confused, and coppin' out 
Am                    D 
Convinced our futures were in doubt 
C                 G 
And tryin' not to care 
 
G                                       C      C/B 
We lived in the house that made America famous 
         Am                 C                D               G 
It was a run-down slum, the shame of all the decent folks in town 
G 
We're hippies and some welfare cases 
C                   C           C/B 
Crowded families of cold, black faces 
Am                           C/B    Am 
Cramped inside some cracked old boards 
C/G                      Am     C/G 
The best that we all could afford 
F                          D                     C 
But still too fine for the rich landlord to ever tear it down 
G 
And we could hear the sound 
 
   Bb                A 
Of somethin' burnin' somewhere 
    B       G 
IS ANYBODY THERE? 
 
G                                       C      C/B 
We all lived the life that made America famous 
    Am                                D             G 
Our cops would make a point to shadow us around our town 
G                                          C                    C    C/B 
And we love children put a swastika on the bright red firehouse door 
Am           D             C            G 
America, the beautiful, it makes a body proud 
 
G                                         C      C/B 
And then came the night that made America famous 
       Am              C              D         G 
Was it carelessness or someone's sick idea of a joke? 
       G                                   C                C     C/B 
In the tinder-box trap we hippies lived in someone struck a spark 
   Am                         C/B   Am 
At first I thought that I was dreamin' 
C/G                         Am    C/G 
Then I saw the first flames gleamin' 
F                      D 
And heard the sound of children screamin' 
C                  G 
Comin' through the smoke 
 
    Bb                 A 
And somethin's burnin' somewhere 
     B       G 
DOES ANYBODY CARE? 
 
G                                     C      C/B 
Oh, it was the fire that made America famous 
    Am                                     D                   G 
The sirens wailed and the firemen stumbled sleepin' from their homes 
G 
And when the plumber yelled, "C'mon, let's go!" 
C                                     C     C/B 
They saw what was burnin' and said, "Take it slow" 
Am 
"Let 'em sweat a little" 
D 
"They'll never know" 
C 
"And besides, we just cleaned the chrome" 
N.C.                              G 
Said the plumber, "Then I'm goin' alone" 
 
G 
Well he rolled on up in the fire truck 
Am 
And raised the ladder to the ledge 
      C                    C/B                 Am                        D 
While me and my girl and a couple of kids were clinging like bats to the edge 
G 
We staggered to salvation 
C                     C  C/B 
Collapsed on the street 
    Am                     D 
And I never thought that a fat man's face 
      C            G 
Would ever look so sweet 
 
G                                               C      C/B 
I shook his hand in the scene that made America famous 
       Am                         D            G 
And he smiled from the heart that made America great 
             G                                               C                C    C/B 
We spent the rest of that night in the home of this man that we'd never known before 
     Am              D                    C               G 
It's funny; when you get that close, it's kind of hard to hate 
 
G                                               C     C/B 
I went to sleep with the hope that made America famous 
          Am                   C                   D                  G 
I had the kind of a dream that maybe they're still trying to teach in school 
G                                 C      C/B 
O'  the America that made America famous 
Am                               C/B    Am 
And of the people who just might understand 
C/G                Am     C/G 
That how together, yes we can 
F 
Create a country better than 
D 
The one we have made of this land 
F 
We have the choice 
F 
To make each man 
D 
Who dares to dream 
D 
Reachin' out his hand 
C                                           G 
A prophet or just a crazy damn dreamer or a fraud 
       C     G 
Yes, a crazy fraud 
 
    Bb                 A 
and somethin's burnin' somewhere 
B            G 
DOES ANYBODY CARE? 
           G 
IS ANYBODY THERE? 
           G 
IS ANYBODY THERE?????
