[C#m]
[G#m] [C#m]
[G#] [B] [C#m]
In his oval room, in his rocking chair, [G#] he's a president, [C#m] but I don't care.
He's a businessman.
He got business ties.
[G#] He got dollar signs [C#m] in both his eyes.
Got a big airplane, take him everywhere.
[G#] Got a [C#m] limousine when he get there.
Everywhere he goes, makes the people mad, [G#] makes the poor man pay, [C#m] and the rich man glad.
He's a president, but I don't care.
[G#m] Oh, [C#m] oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
He's a president, but I don't care.
[G#m] Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, [C#m] oh, oh, oh, oh.
[G#] [C#m]
[G#] [C#] [G#m] [C#m]
At the factory, never been so slow.
Got [G#] a big fort down [C#m] 99 to go.
And down on the farm, nothing growing there, [G#] but the dead say, oh.
[C#m] And their gray hair in the desert sand and the jungle deep.
[G#] He thinks everything [G#m] [C#m] is his to keep.
He's a real cowboy with his megaphone.
[G#] Talks to [G#m] kings and queens [C#m] on the telephone.
He's a president, but I don't care.
[G#] Oh, [F] [C#m] oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
He's a president, but I don't care.
[G#m] Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, [C#m] oh, oh, oh, oh.
[G#] [C#] [G#] [C#m]
He's a movie star.
If you stay up late, and [G#] he'll search your car.
If [C#m] you don't look straight.
In his Opel Ring, in his rocking chair.
He's [G#] a president, [C#m] but I don't care.
[C#]
