Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
[Verse 1]
G
The people made you the president. You get your power from our consent.
Am G/B C
It’s not just a figure of speech.
G
If you do something you shouldn’t do, the constitution will deal with you.
Am G/B C
Congress has power to impeach.
[Chorus 1]
Bb F C G
Republicans, democrats, inbetweeners.
Bb F C G
No one likes high crimes and misdemeanors
Em A7 Gm7b5/Eb D7 G
Your tiny hands will scratch and claw, but nobody’s above the law.
[Verse 2]
G
Andrew Johnson and Clinton too.
G
Congress did what they had to do.
Am G/B C
Nixon resigned just in time.
G
Obstructing justice and perjury, emoluments, russian puppetry.
Am G/B C
Treason is also a crime.
[Chorus 2]
Bb F C G
Republicans, democrats, inbetweeners.
Bb F C G
Looking for high crimes and misdemeanors.
Em Em/D A7
Maybe this will stick in your craw.
Gm7b5/Eb D7 G
But nobody’s above the law
[Bridge]
Am Bm C D G Gmaj7
They vote on the articles in the house of representatives, simple majority decides if you’re impeached.
Am Bm C
Then there's a trial in the senate in which they consider the charges,
D
and vote to remove you from
Eb F Gm
office and if they get two thirds, then it’s done
Gm Cm Am7b5 D7
And you're gone and you'll never hold office again!
D7
So, maybe that’s why:
[Verse 3]
G
You don’t do business with foreign spies,
G
You don’t keep slush funds, you don’t tell lies.
Am G/B C
History knows what you’ve done.
[Chorus 3]
Bb F C G
Republicans, democrats, inbetweeners
Bb F C G
Tired of your high crimes and misdemeanors
Em A7
Founders and the framers foresaw,
Gm7b5/Eb D7 G E7
But nobody’s above the law
[Outro]
Gm7b5/Eb D7 G E7
Nobody’s above the law, even you
Gm7b5/Eb D7
Nobody’s above
G
The law.
G
The people made you the president. You get your power from our consent.
Am G/B C
