If A Song Could Be President Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]If a song could be president
We'd hum on Election Day
The gospel choir [Am]would start [D]to sway
And we'd all have [G]a part to play

[Verse 2]
The First Lady would [G]free her hips
Pull a microphone to her lips
Break our hearts with [Am]rhythm and blues
[D]Steve Earle would anc[G]hor the news

[Verse 3]
We'd vote for a [C]melody
Pass it around on [G]an MP3
All our best foreign [D]policy
Would be built on [G]harmony

[Verse 4]
If a song could be [C]president
We'd fly a jukebox [G]to the moon
All our founding fathers [D]forty five's
Lightnin' Hopkins [C]an d Patsy [D]Cline
If a song could be [G]president

[Verse 5]
[G]
If a song could be president
We could all add another verse
Life would teach us [Am]to r[D]ehearse
'Til we found a key [G]change

[Verse 6]
Break out of this [Em]minor key
Half truths and hypocrisy
We wouldn't need an
under[Am]achiever-in-chief
[D]If If a song could be [G]president

[Verse 7]
We'd make Neil Young a [C]Senator
Even though he came [G]from Canada
Emmy Lou would be Am[D]bassador
World leaders would [G]listen to her

[Verse 8]
They would show us where [C]our
country went wrong
Strum their guitars on the
[G]White House lawn
John Prine would run [D]the FBI
All the criminals would [C]laugh and [D]cry
If a song could be [G]president

[Verse 9]
[C]
[G]Ooh[D]

[Outro 1]
Ooh
[D][C][D][G]
