Some folks are born [F] made to wave the [C] flag, 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.
Now, it ain't me, [D] it ain't [C] me, I ain't no Senator [G] Sars.
It ain't me, [D] it ain't [C] me, I ain't no Washington [G] ward.
Some folks are born [F] silver spoon in [C] hand, y'all don't help [G] themselves, y'all.
But when the taxman [F] comes, y [C]'all, y'all look like [G] a Roman sage, yes.
It ain't me, [D] it ain't me, [C] I ain't no millionaire [G] Sars.
It ain't me, [D] it ain't me, [C] I ain't no Washington [G] ward.

Some folks can have [F] star-spangled [C] eyes, 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 only [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] Washington ward.
It ain't me, [D] it ain't [C] me, I ain't no [G] Washington ward.
It ain't me, [D] it ain't [C] me, I ain't no [G] Washington ward.
