Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][D][Em][D]

[Verse 1]
[G]Dear Mr. President
[D]Come take a walk with me
(Come take a walk with [Em]me)[D]
Let's [G]pretend
we're just two people and
[D]You're not better than me
I'd like [Em]to ask you some questions if we can
[D]speak honestly

[Pre-chorus 1]
[C]What do you fee[Am]l when you see all the
[G]homeless on the [D]street?
[C]Who do you pra[Am]y for at night
be[G]fore you go to [D]sleep?
[C]What do you fee[Am]l when you look
in the [Em]mir r[D]or?
Are you [C]proud?

[Chorus 1]
How do you [G]sleep
while the [D]rest of us [Am]cry?[C]
How do you [G]dream when
a [D]mo- ther has no
[Am]chance to [G]say good[C]bye?
How do you [G]walk with your
[D]head held [C]high?
Can you even [Em]look me [D]in the eye
[C]And tell me why?

[Interlude 1]
[G][D][Em][D]

[Verse 2]
[G]Dear Mr. President
[D]Were you a lonely boy?
(Are you a lonely boy?)
[Em]Are you a lonely boy?
(Are you a lonely [D]boy?)
How can you say
[G]No child is left behind?
[D]We're not dumb, and we're not blind
(We're not blind)
[Em]They're all sitting in your cells
[D]While you pave the road to hell

[Pre-chorus 2]
[C]What kind of fat[Am]her would take his own
[G]daughter's rights [D]away?
[C]And what kind of fat[Am]her might hate his own
[G]daughter if she were [D]gay?
[C]I can only imag[Am]ine what the
first [G]lady has to [D]say
You've come a [Em]long way
from whiskey and co[A]caine

[Chorus 2]
How do you [G]sleep
while the [D]rest of us [Am]cry?[C]
How do you [G]dream
when a [D]mo- ther has no
[Am]chance to [G]say good[C]bye?
How do you [G]walk
with your [D]head held [C]high?
Can you even [Em]look me [D]in the [C]eye

[Bridge 1]
Let me tell you 'bout [Em]hard [D]work[G]
Minimum [Am]wage with a baby [G]on the [C]way
Let me tell you 'bout [Em]hard [D]work[G]
Rebuilding your [Am]house
after the bombs [G]took them [C]away
Let me tell you 'bout [Em]hard [D]work[G]
Building a [Am]bed out of a card[G]board [C]box
Let me tell you 'bout [Em]hard [D]work
[G]Hard work
[Am]Hard [G]work[C]
You don't know nothing 'bout [Em]hard [D]work
[G]Hard work
Hard [Am]work[G][C]
[C]Oh[C]

[Outro 1]
[G]How do you sleep [D]at night?
[Em]How do you walk [D]with your head held [G]high?
Dear Mr. President
[D]You'd never take a walk with me
[Em]Woul[D]d you?
