[F] I am a lonely visitor, I [Bb] came too late to cause a stir,
Though [F] I campaigned all [Dm] my life towards [Bb] that goal.
I hardly slept [A] the night you went, [Dm] Our secret safe and still [Am] well [C] kept,
Where even Richard Nixon has [Dm] got sold.
[Bb] Even Richard Nixon has [C] got sold.
[Bb] [Dm]
[G] [F] The podium rocks and the crowd [Bb] waves, The speaker talks of the beautiful [F] saves,
That went down [Dm] long before he [Bb] played this role.
For the hotel queens and [A] the magazines, [Gm] [Dm] Test tube jeans and [Am] slot [C] machines,
Where even Richard Nixon has got [Dm] sold.
[Bb] Even Richard Nixon has [C] got sold.

[F] Hospitals have made him cry, [Bb] But there's always a freeway in his eye,
[F] Though his beach just got [Dm] too crowded for [Bb] a stroll.
Roads stretch out [A] like healthy veins, [Dm] And wild gift horses [A] strain the [C] reins,
Where even Richard Nixon has [Dm] got sold.
[Bb] Even Richard Nixon has [C] got sold.

[G] [F] I am a lonely visitor, [Bb] I came too late to cause a stir,
[F] Though I campaigned [Dm] all my life [Bb] towards that goal.
[A] [D] [Dm]
[N] Because only if you've been in the deepest valley
Can you ever know how magnificent it is to be on the highest mountain.
Always give your best, never get discouraged, never be petty,
Always remember, others may hate you,
But those who hate you [B] don't win, unless you hate them,
And then you destroy yourself.
