N.C.

G C C/B

It was the town that made America famous

G

Six traffic lights, and seven cops

C CC/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
