Chorus:
B
I took a trip down to L'America
To trade some beads for a pint of gold
I took a trip down to L'America
To trade some beads for a pint of gold
L'America L'America L'America
L'America L'America L'America

E7
Come on people, don't you look so down
You know the rain man's coming to town
A
Change the weather, change your luck
B
And then he'll teach you, how to, find yourself
L'America

  A                 E
Friendly strangers came to town,
A               E           A
all the people put them down.
               E             B
But the women loved their ways
                C      B
come again some other day.
B
Like the gentle rain,
like the gentle rain that falls.

Chorus:
I took a trip down to L'America
To trade some beads for a pint of gold
I took a trip down to L'America
To trade some beads for a pint of gold
L'America L'America L'America
L'America L'America L'America
L'America
