[G]
The folks that are [F] born make the waves that [C] play, ooh, they're red, [G] white and blue.
And when the band [F] plays Hail to the [C] Chief, ooh, they point the [G] cannon at you.
No, it ain't [D] me, it ain't [C] me, I ain't no Senator, [G] son.
It ain't me, [D] it ain't [C] me, I ain't no fortune [G] in crime.
Some folks love [F] silver spoon in [C] hand, y'all don't [G] themself.
But when the tax [F] man prompts you to [C] dawg, y'all's looking [G] like a rummy sail.
It ain't [D] me, it ain't me, [C] I ain't no millionaire [G] son.
It ain't me, [D] it ain't me, [C] I ain't no fortune [G] in crime.

[G] Some folks in hell and [F] sky, [C] who they send you [G] down to war?
And when you ask [F] them how much of the [C] guilt, who they gonna [G] call out?
It ain't [D] me, it ain't [C] me, I ain't no military [G] son.
It ain't [D] me, it ain't [C] me, I ain't no fortune [G] in crime.
It ain't me, [D] it ain't [C] me, I ain't no fortune [G] in crime.
It ain't me, [D] it ain't [C] me, I ain't no [G] fortune in crime.
