Here's a song, [E] truly cowboy, current topical cowboy song, because all the ranchers, all
of us [G] ranchers, I only have three [G#] acres, [A] all [D]
[C] of us ranchers down on the border of El [F] Paso
Juarez, [C] 800 miles in each [E] direction, are totally opposed to this barrier [C] thing.
Totally.
[G] I don't [G#] care what side you're on.
Don't wave the [D] little policy thing in [G] front of me.
This [D] is just a humorous look at it.
Here's my [C] take on it, I have the right to sing it because I [G] live down there.
Here you go.
Okay.
Hey, hey!
I got 800 miles of open border, right [A] outside my [D] door.
But we got many men [A] and little pickup [D] trucks [C] who declared their [G] own damn war.
But now the government wants to build a barrier like [Dm] old Berlin, 12 feet tall.
But [D] if Uncle Sam sends the illegal drone, [C] who's gonna [G] build the wall?
Yeah, who's gonna build your wall, boy?
[C] Who's gonna [G] mow your lawn?
It's true!
Who's gonna [Em] cook your Mexican food when [D] your Mexican maid is gone?
[G] And who's gonna wash the floors, get back [C] down at the [A] local mall?
[G] Who's gonna [Em] wash your baby's [D] face?
Who's gonna build [G] your wall?
People see it as a political black and [F#] white thing, but it's [A#] not.
Those ranchers down there who could [F] be right-wingers don't even want that wall down there.
Because it screws up wildlife, [F#] it screws up their access to the river.
[C#m] It isn't gonna [Bm] work anyway.
[E] So now [G] everybody's kind of getting behind it.
Hey!
I ain't got no politics, so [D] don't lay that lame rap on me.
Hey, left-wing, right-wing, up-wing, now all I see is strip [C] malls from sea [G] to shiny sea.
Because it's the fat cat white developer [D] who created the whole damn squaw.
And in the pyramid schemes of dirty jobs, [C] who's gonna [G] build your wall?
Who's gonna build your wall, boy?
[C] Who's gonna mow your [G] lawn?
Tell me!
Who's gonna cook your [Em] Mexican food when [D] your Mexican maid is gone?
[G] Who's gonna wash the floors tonight [C] down at the [A] local mall?
[G] Who's gonna wash your [Em] baby's [D] face?
Who's gonna [G] build your wall?
Think about it!
[C] The first few times I sang it over [E] here, it was like, what does he mean, a gulf shore developer?
To me, the developers are the bad [F#m] guys, because [A] when they get close to [F] me out there, then
I [G] took it personally.
[C] [G]
[C] Take it down, [G] boys!
[D] For the big CNN verse.
[C] This is an [G] intelligent audience.
[Dm]
[G] We've got fundamentalist Muslims.
We've [D] got fundamentalist Jews.
We've got fundamentalist Jews.
you're gonna be fundamentalist
Christians.
[C] They'll blow the
whole thing [G] up for you.
But as
I travel around this big old
[D] world, the thing that I most
fear is a white man in a golf
shirt [C] with a cell phone [G] in his
[C]
[G]
[Em] [D]
[G]
hand.
[C]
[A] I'm gonna be a white man
