[G]
[Dm]
[Em] [G]
Some folks are born [F] made to wave the [C] flag, ooh, they're red, [G] white, and blue.
And when the band plays, [F] they'll do the cheat, [C] ooh, they'll point the [G] cannon at you, y'all.
It ain't me, [D] it ain't me, [C] I ain't no [G] senator's son.
It ain't me, [D] it ain't me, [C] I ain't no Washington [G] pawn.
Some folks born [F] silver spoon in hand, [C] y'all, don't the help [G] themself, y'all.
But when the tax man [F] comes to the door, [C] the house look like [G] a Roman cell, yeah, y'all.
It ain't me, [D] it ain't me, [C] I ain't no [G] millionaire's son, y'all, no.
It ain't me, [D] it ain't me, [C] I ain't no Washington [G] pawn,

[C] [G]
yeah.
Some folks inherit, [F] some
[C] people, they send you [G] down the wall, y'all.
And when you ask [F] them, how much should we [C] give, who's the owner, [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 [G] fortunate pawn.
It ain't [D] me, it ain't me, [C] I ain't no [G] fortunate pawn.
It ain't me, [D] it ain't [C] me, I ain't no [G] fortunate pawn.
