[G] [Dm]
[Em] [G]
Some folks are born [F] made to wave the [C] flag, ooh, they're red, white, [G] 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 me, [C] I ain't no Senator [G] Sars.
It ain't me, [D] it ain't [C] me, I ain't no Washington [G] guard.
Some folks are born [F] silver spoon in [C] hand, y'all know [G] themselves, y'all.
But when the tax man [F] comes through the [C] door, y'all's lookin' like [G] a rummy sand.
Yeah, it ain't me, [D] it ain't me, [C] I ain't no [G] millionaire Sars.
It ain't [D] me, it ain't me, [C] I ain't no fortunate [G] one.
[Em]
[C] [G]
[C] [G]
Some folks are hairy, [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'll [G] answer more, more, more, y'all.
It ain't [D] me, it ain't me, [C] I ain't no [G] military Sars.
It ain't [D] me, it ain't [C] me, I ain't no [G] fortunate one.
It ain't me, [D] it ain't [C] me, I ain't no [G] fortunate one.
It ain't [D] me, it ain't [C] me, I ain't no [G] fortunate Sars.
It ain't me.
