4 Non Blondes - Dear Mr President

      [Intro]
Bb G# Bb Dm G#

[Verse]
Bb                  D#                 Bb
I'm looking outside of my window
                         G#
The view that I see is a child and mama

And the child is begging for money
Bb
Tell me why, tell me why
The woman is blind
Is she so broke the kid's dealing crime

[Chorus]
            G#
It's such a beautiful city

But the world is burning it down
Bb
ya ya ya ya ya ya

ya ya ya ya ya
            G#
It's such a beautiful city
                                           Bb
But the world is burning it down

[Verse]

I go to my room to turn on the TV
                        G#
I sit myself down and I start laughing hard

'Cause this man he's asking for money
        Bb
He says if you send me lots of cash

I'll send you stuff to make you rich fast

[Chorus]
            G#
It's such a wonderful country

But the man he's burning it down
Bb
ya ya ya ya ya ya

ya ya ya ya ya
            G#
It's such a wonderful country

But the man he's burning it down
Bb
ya ya ya ya ya ya

ya ya ya ya ya
         G#
And it's burning down

And it's called the US of A

[Verse]
F#          G#                    Bb
One day I'm going to have lots of money
    F#           G#               Bb                D#
But I'll have to give up for this rich society
F#            G#                           Bb
Oh please Mr. President will you lend me a future
F#                        G#
'Cause you'll just get it back
                                                D#    G#
From the little blind woman with the kid on the corner
                  Bb     D#
And the people all over, doin' crack

[Chorus]
Bb
ya ya ya ya ya ya

ya ya ya ya ya
            G#
It's such a wonderful country

But the man he's burning it down
Bb
ya ya ya ya ya ya

ya ya ya ya ya
         G#
And it's burning down
                                           Bb
And it's called the US of A
D# Bb        

[Verse]
            D#               Bb
I'm walking outside on a sunny day
                   Dm    G#
With no one around and I wonder what's wrong
                              D#
The I hear this loud piercing siren
Bb    D#                           Bb
Oh my God the bomb has just dropped

And everybody climbed right on top

[Chorus]
                  G#
Screaming, what a wonderful country

But the man he's burning it down, he's burning it down
Bb
ya ya ya ya ya ya

ya ya ya ya ya
G#
It's such a wonderful country

But the man he's burning it down, he's burning it down
Bb
ya ya ya ya ya ya

ya ya ya ya ya
         G#
And it's burning down

And it's called the US of A
Bb
ya ya ya ya ya ya

ya ya ya ya ya

[Outro]
G#
