[Intro]
G G G G G G/F# Em D C Bm Am G

G          Em           C                 D
To whom it may concern, weathers taken a- way for the next turn
G         Em                       C           D
Don't you think we can do a little better than
G            Em            C                   D                        G
The weight's blowin' down, I'll give ya 4 good years just to turn it a- round
          Em                      C            D
And if ya don't I'll take it into my own hands

[Chorus]
              G        Em          D                 C

And I'm gonna make my stand up on Pennsylvania Ave- nue
G    G/F#    Em      D      C     Bm Am    G
Mama told me I could be any thing I wanna be

G            Em                 C            D
What about a man's word what it used to mean
G          Em                  C          D
Before the radio waves and the big screen
G                     Em              C           D
And now ya talk about hard work and a steady hand
G          Em                       C                 D
We put our trust in you, you better stick to the plan

      G        Em       C          D
Gonna raise my flag for all to see

And I'm gonna make my stand up on Pennsylvania Ave- nue

C                                              G
And we're learnin' about hard times and the A- merican dream
D                                 G
Heard about the dust bowl and the war machine
C                                 G
And we read about generals on the battlefields
Am                          C        D
We put our trust in them to make our deals
      G        D     C      G D C
