Presidential Rag Chords by Arlo Guthrie

[A] _ _ [D] _ _ [Am] _ _ [D] _ _
_ [Am] _ _ [D] _ _ [Am] _ _ [D] _
_ [Am] _ You [C] said you didn't know [Dm] that the cats with the buzz were there
And [F] _ _ [G] you'd never go along with [E] that kind of stuff [Am] nowhere
But _ that just isn't [C] the point, man, [Dm] that's the wrong, wrong way to go
[F] If you didn't know [G] about that one, [E] well, then what else don't you [Am] know?
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
You said that you [C] lied too, [Dm] well, that ain't hard to see
But [F] _
you must [G] have been fooled again by [E] your friends across the [Am] sea
_ _ And [D] maybe [C] you were fooled again by [Dm] your people here at home _ _
[F] Nobody [G] could talk like you [E] and know what's going [Am] on _ _ _
_ _ _ Nobody [B] elected [C] your family _ [Dm] and we didn't elect your friends
[C] No [F] one voted for your [G]
advisors and [E] nobody wants [Am] a man
_ _ _ You're the one [C] we voted for, [Dm] so you must take the blame
_ [F] For handing out [G] _
authority [E] to men who are [Am]
insane
_ You _ [Em] _ _ [Am] _
_ _ [Em] _ [C] _ _ _ _ [Dm] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Em] _ [F] _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ say it's all [C] fixed up now, [Dm] you've got new guys on the line
_ [F] But you had better [G]
remember this, [E] while you still got [Am] the time
_ _ _ Mothers [B] still [C] are weeping [Dm] for their boys that went to war
_ [F] _ Fathers [G] still are asking _ [E] what the whole damn [Am] thing was for
_ _ _ People still [C] are hungry, _ [Dm] people still are poor
_ [F] _ And on this [G] week of work these days [E] don't feed the kids [Am] no more
_ _ _ Schools are [C] still like prisons, [Dm] cause we don't learn [D] how to live
[Em] _ [F] And everybody _ [G] _
wants to take, [E] nobody wants [Am] to give _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [Dm] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Yes, you'll be [C]
remembered, _ [Dm] be remembered very well
_ _ [F] And if I [G] live a long life, [E] oh, the stories I [Am] could tell
_ _ Of men who [C] are in poverty, [Dm] of sickness and of greed
_ [F] Hell yes, you'll be [G]
remembered, _ [E] be remembered [Am] very well
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ [Am] _
You said [C] you didn't know [Dm] that the cats hit the puzzle there
_ _ [F] _
_ You'd [G] never go along with [E] that kind of stuff, [Am] no way _ _
But that just isn't [C] the point, man, [Dm] that's the wrong, wrong way [F] to go
_ If you didn't know [G] about that war, [E] well, then what else don't [Am] you know? _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
