It's Not Your Nationality Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Dm][G][G][Dm][G][D][G][D][Dm]
[D][Dm]
[D][F][Am]
Ev'rybody [E]has a

[Verse 1]
native [Am]land,
[F]In the Nor[Am]th, south East or West,
And it's only right, your [G]native land
Should be the [G]place [F]you
[Bbm]love the bes[Am]t
Now it makes no diff'rence
what you [F]are,
Don't wait for fame [G]to come,
[F]Just go and get it, and they'll
give you credit,,
No [F]matter [Am]where
[F]you're [Am]from:

[Verse 2]
It's not your national[F]ity,
It's what you do,
[Ebm]It's n[G]ot your pers[F]onality,
[G]That always [Em]pull[E]s you through.
[F]Bismark make his [Am]mark [F]in Ger[Am]many,
we [F]know,
And [Am]young [F]Mar[Am]coni had a
scheme that [Am]sounded phoney,
But he upset all [F]the dope.[Am][F]
[G]Just think of Roc[G]kefeller and[F]
what he can [Bbm]buy,[F]
He started from the cellar,
But [G]he climbed [E]away up high
[G]So if you've got the spir[G]it,
[F]Nevermind your name,
[Am]Folks [F]will [G]hear it, if you play the game,
It's not your national[G]ity,
[Am]it's [G]simply you!
Ev'ry day you'll hear somebody brag,

[Verse 3]
Of the land where they belong,
And they knock all other nationalities,
But take my tip, they're wrong.
In the end the man that [G]plugs along
Is the fel[F]low that succeeds,
The whole creation is a great big nation,
They judge you by your deeds:
It's not your nationality,
It's what you do,
Sometime a technicality
[G]Will bring great fam[E]e to [Em]you.
[F]Bryan kept tryin' he
never gave up hope,
And young Marconi had
a scheme that sounded phoney,
But [Am]he up[F]set all [Am]the dope.
Just [G]think of Henry Ford [F]and his old Fliver bus,
[Am]
[F]We laugh, but all the dough he's got,
[G]He took away from us,
[F]So never mind your breeding,
[G]Keep [F]a level head,
Face the world,
prepare to knock'em dead,
[G]It's not your nationality, it's simply you!
