[Dm]
[G]
Some folks are born, [F] make a way to [C] play, ooh, that red, [G] white and blue.
And when the band [F] plays, they'll do the [C] cheat, ooh, they'll point the [G] cannon at you.
Now, it ain't me, [D] it ain't [C] me, I ain't no Senator, [G] son.
It ain't [D] me, it ain't [C] me, I ain't no fortunate [G] one.
Some folks are born, [F] silver spoon in [C] hand, y'all, the [G] hell damn sell, y'all.
But when the [F] taxman comes, y [C]'all, y'all look [G] like a Roman saying, yes.
It ain't me, [D] it ain't [C] me, I ain't no millionaire, [G] son.
It ain't me, [D] it ain't [C] me, I ain't no fortunate [G] one.

[C] [G]
Some folks inherit, [F] stop,
[C] ooh, they'll send you [G] down to war, y'all.
And when you ask [F] them, how much should we [C] give, ooh, they're gonna [G] answer, more, more, more, y'all.
It ain't [D] me, it ain't [C] me, I ain't no [G] military, son.
It ain't [D] me, it ain't [C] me, I ain't no fortunate [G] one.
It ain't me, [D] it ain't [C] me, I ain't no fortunate [G] one.
It ain't me, [D] it ain't [C] me, I ain't no fortunate [G] one.
