THE CAMPAIGNER
[Intro]
F Bb F Dm Bb
[Verse]
F
I am a lonely visitor.
Bb
I came too late to cause a stir,
F Dm Bb
though I campaigned all my life towards that goal.
A7
I hardly slept the night you wept;
Dm Dm/C
our secret's safe and still well kept
C Dm
where even Richard Nixon has got soul.
Bb C Dm Bb Dm G
Even Richard Nixon has got soul.
[Verse]
F
Traffic cops are all color blind.
Bb
People steal from their own kind.
F Dm Bb
Evening comes to early for a stroll.
A7
Down neon streets the streaker streaks.
Dm Dm/C
The speaker speaks, but the truth still leaks,
C Dm
where even Richard Nixon has got soul.
[Verse]
F
The podium rocks in the crowded waves.
Bb
The speaker talks of the beautiful saves
F Dm Bb
that went down long before he played this role
A7
for the hotel queens and the magazines,
Dm Dm/C
test tube genes and slot machines
Bb C Dm Bb Dm G
where even Richard Nixon has got it, soul.
[Verse]
F
Hospitals have made him cry,
Bb
but there's always a free way in his eye,
F Dm Bb
though his beach just got too crowded for his stroll.
A7
Roads stretch out like healthy veins,
Dm Dm/C
and wild gift horses strain the reins,
C Dm
where even Richard Nixon has got soul.
Bb C Dm Bb G Bb A7 Dm
Even Richard Nixon has got soul.
[Verse]
F
I am a lonely visitor.
Bb
I came too late to cause a stir,
F Dm Bb
though I campaigned all my life towards that goal.
[Outro]
Bb A7 Dm Dm/C

I play it in D, though I think it might be capoed at the 2nd fret on
the LP.
Intro revolves around a D to D/E (lift your 2nd finger to let the high
E ring about 4 times) then a D/G (?) which I play by adding a G bass
on top of the same D structure on the 1st & 2nd strings

D Bm G
though I campaigned all my life towards that goal
G F#m Bm
I hardly slept the night you wept, our secrets safe
Bm/A
and still well-kept
A Bm
where even Richard Nixon has got soul
G A
even Richard Nixon has got soul...
50 52 40 52 (Bm) 50 63 (G)
50 52 40 52 (Bm) 50 60 (E)
(that's the little bass riff)
The Bm/A chord I play by fretting a Bm at 2nd fret, then lift off
the barre and let the A and high E strings ring open.
that should get you there...where even Richard Nixon has got soul.
