Biography:
Vincent Damon Furnier (born February 4, 1948 in Detroit, MI) better known as Alice Cooper is an American rock singer, songwriter, and musician whose career spans five decades. With a stage show that features guillotines, electric chairs, fake blood, boa constrictors, and baby dolls, he is considered by fans and peers alike to be "The Godfather of Shock Rock"; Cooper has drawn equally from horror movies, vaudeville, and garage rock to pioneer a grandly theatrical and macabre brand of rock designed to shock.

Great song from a great album. I saw a request for this a while ago,
so here's my attempt at it. If anyone can do better, or sees this in
one of the magazines, please let me know so that I can play it better
as well! :-)

INTRO (intro riff x 2)
VERSE 1:
I ain't got a girl 'cuz I ain't got a car (Riff A)
I ain't got a car 'cuz I ain't got a job (Riff A)
I ain't got a job 'cuz I ain't got a car (Riff A)
So I'm looking for a girl with a job and a car (Riff B)
(play D chord and let ring)
Ah, don't you know where you are...
CHORUS: (same riff as the intro)
Lost in America, Lost in America, Lost in America, Lost
VERSE 2: (played same as the first)
I got a mom but I ain't got a dad
My dad's got a wife but she ain't my mom
Mom's looking for a man to be my dad
But I want my mom and dad to be my real mom and dad...
Is that so bad?
D
Oh, I think I've been had...

I can't go to school 'cuz I ain't got a gun
I ain't got a gun 'cuz I ain't got a job
