[Gm]
[G] [Dm]
[G]
Some folks are born [F] made to waive the [C] flag, who I [G] do.
And when the band plays [F] Hail to the [C] Chief, who would want a [G] candidate like you?
It ain't me, [D] it ain't [C] me.
I ain't no [G] senator's son.
It ain't [D] me, it ain't me.
[C] I ain't no fortune in [G] war.
Some folks are born [F] with silver spoon in hand, [C] y'all don't [G] have cell doors.
But when the taxman [F] comes to the door, [C] y'all look like [G] a rummy sail.
It ain't me, [D] it ain't me.
[C] I ain't no [G] millionaire's son.
It ain't [D] me, it ain't me.
[C] I ain't no fortune [G] in war.

Yeah, yeah.
Some folks inherit [F] star-spangled [C] eyes, who will they send you [G] down to war?
And when you ask [F] them how much should we [C] give, who's the only [G] answer?
More, more, more, y'all.
It ain't [D] me, it ain't me.
[C] I ain't no [G] military son.
It ain't [D] me, it ain't [C] me.
