Verse 1:

C
Sleeping in a yellow cab
   Em
My head against the barrier
C
Lost 'em as we touched St. Anne
Em
Stepped from the ferry boat there
Fmaj7
Looked around the terminal
         Fm
Paid the toll
              C     G  F Csus2
And split the fare
G             F         Csus2
Wake me up oh wake me before Union Square
G            F          Csus2
Got a couple numbers to call ah
G                  F
Tryin' to wrack my brains
            Csus2
But I can't think of the name
                Em    G  F  Csus2
Of the hotel at all

Chorus:

C     Em          F        Fm
We're off to see America
C     Em           F             Fm
We're asking for directions yes
C     Em          F        Fm
We're off to see America
C     Em              F         Fm
We're tumbling in our chariot

Verse 2:

C
Speeding over soaking streets
Em
Tides of the destitute wail
C
Coughing up a lung of steam
Em
Rise from the underground rail
Fmaj7
Never felt so far away
         Fm
Up 'till now
          C       G  F  Csus2
But I was green
G             F         Csus2
Wake me up oh wake me before Union Square
G            F          Csus2
Got a couple numbers to call ah
G                  F
Tryin' to wrack my brains
            Csus2
But I can't think of the names
       Em
Of the people at all

Chorus:

C     Em          F        Fm
We're off to see America
C     Em           F             Fm
We're asking for directions yes
C     Em           F        Fm
We're off to find America
C     Em              F         Fm
We're tumbling in our chariot

Middle part:

       Dm7            G
What a slender thread I've been clinging to
Dm7                        Bdim
All these cracks for me to      slip into

Chorus:

C     Em          F      Fm
We're off to see America
C     Em          F      Fm
We're off to see America
C     Em           F            Fm
We're asking for directions yes
C     Em              F       Fm
We're tumbling in our chariot

Outtro:

C Em F Fm
C   Em      F       Fm
Ooh    see America
C Em F Fm
    America
C     Em         F        Fm
We're off to see America
C Em F Fm
