Notes:

On Am and Dm chords add and take away a G note (I like to use the open 3rd string) for the riff in the song.
The Am7 or Dm add G are on the & beats after 2 and 3.

Durign the main body, stay on Am one measure at the end of every stanza, and one at the beginnign of a new
one (2 consecutively) if in the middle of a block of text, play 3 consecutive measures if there's a one
line space.



Presidential Rag


Spoken:

You know, took me a long time to get around to writin' a Watergate song. I think because...mainly because
in the beginning of Watergate it was pretty funny, you know? So I said "oh! I'm gonna write one of them
funny Watergate..." you know:

C F#dim F
Watergate, Watergate but

it sorta got past the point of bein' funny, you know, and went on to new bigger and better things.
And then I though "oh, I better write one of those satyrical ballads." You know, like:


E E7
(Played satyrically, like a ballad)

but got past that point. So I never wrote a Watergate song. Until one day, a little while ago,
I was sitting around and I forgot all about Watergate. And I was sittin' around playin' the piano and
all of a sudden this song jumped out and wrote itself down. The next day Spiro resigned.
So I been writing a lot since!


[Intro]

Am


Am C
You said you didn't know
Dm
That the cats with the bugs were there
F G E7 Am
And you'd never go along with that kind of stuff nowhere
Am C
But that just isn't the point, man
Dm
That's the wrong wrong way to go
F G E7 Am
If you didn't know about that one, well then what else don't you know?


Am C
You said that you were lied to
Dm
Well that ain't hard too see
F G E7 Am
But you must have been fooled again by your friends across the sea
Am C Dm
And maybe you were fooled again by your people here at home
F G
'Cause nobody could talk like you
E7 Am
And know what's going on


Am C
Nobody elected your family
Dm
And we didn't elect your friends
F G
No one voted for your advisors
E7 Am
And nobody wants amends
Am C Dm
You're the one we voted for, so you must take the blame
F G E7 Am
For handing out authority to men who are insane


Am C Dm
You say it's all fixed up now; you've got new guys on the line
F G E7 Am
But you had better remember this while you still got the time
Am C Dm
Mothers still are weeping for their boys that went to war
F G E7 Am
and fathers are still asking what the whole damn thing was for
Am C Dm
And people still are hungry, and people still are poor
F G E7 Am
And an honest week of work these days don't feed the kids no more
Am C
Schools are still like prisons
Dm
Cuz we don't learn how to live
F G E7 Am
And everybody wants to take, nobody wants to give


Am C Dm
Yes you'll be remembered, be remembered very well
F G E7 Am
And if I live a long life, oh, the stories I could tell!
Am C Dm
Of men and wars and poverty. Of sickness and of greed
F
Hell yes
G E7 Am
You'll be remembered, be remembered very well
Am C
You said you didn't know
Dm
That the cats with the bugs were there
F G E7 Am
And you'd never go along with that kind of stuff nowhere
Am C
But that just isn't the point man
Dm
That's the wrong, wrong way to go
F G
If you didn't know about that one
E7 Am
Well then what else don't you know?
