Oh Mommy by Brewer & Shipley
Intro: *B|-0-1-2-\(beats each) G(8)C(8)D(8)G(5) *D|-0-2-4
*G|-0-2-3-/ *strings & frets to pick
Oh Mommy I ain’t no commie
I’m just doin’ all I can to do the good old American way
It says right there in the Constitution
It’s really A-OK to have a revolution
When the leaders that you choose
(rest)
Really don’t fit the shoes
Oh mister I ain’t no sister
I believe in the Bill of Rights
C’mon don’t you start a fight please
I like to wear my hair long; can there be anything wrong
When you’ve already accused me twice
(rest)
Of lookin’ like Jesus Christ, hallelujah
Instrumental: (8)C(4) (4) (4) (4) (8)
I’m only getting’ tired of playin’ Punch & Judy
I’ve really half a mind to go and do my duty
Like Mr. Patrick Henry said
(rest)
I got to be free or dead
Mr. Nixon I ain’t a-fixin’
To speak Spanish on a plane or polish off the Liberty Bell
I just wanna sit here on the shelf
And watch you finish things off by yourself
Please let me do what I wanna
(rest)
I’ll just lay around the house and smoke marijuana – ooohhh
Instrumental: (8)C(4) (4) (4) (4) (8)
It says right there in the Constitution
It’s really A-OK to have a revolution
When the leaders that you made
(rest)
Just don’t make the grade
Oh mommy I ain’t no commie
Well I hate to bust your bubble
Cause there’s gonna be some trouble
