Capo on 2nd Fret
In between the change to Em7 - D/F#, i do an open strum, it sounds better and i think
do it in the song but i wasnt sure. also you can shove it in after a Em7 if you want, just
it more body! BE CREATIVE!
Verse:
Dear Mr. President,
- –
come take a walk with me
Let's pretend we're just two people
-
and you're not better than me
I'd like to ask you some questions
if we can speak honestly
What do you feel when you see all the homeless on the street?
Who do you pray for at night before you go to sleep?
What do you feel when you look in the mirror?
Are you proud?
Refrein:
How do you sleep while the rest of us cry?
How do you dream when a mother has no chance to say goodbye?
How do you walk with your head held high?
Can you even look me in the eye?
And tell me why
verse 2:(repeat first verse chords)
Dear Mr. President Were you a lonely boy?
Are you a lonely boy? Are you a lonely boy?
How can you say? No child is left behind.
We're not dumb and we're not blind.
They're all sitting in your cells
While you pave the road to hell
What kind of father would take his own daughter's rights away?
And what kind of father might hate his own daughter if she were gay?
I can only imagine what the first lady has to say?
You've come a long way from whiskey and cocaine!
Refrein:
How do you sleep while the rest of us cry?
How do you dream when a mother has no chance to say goodbye?
How do you walk with your head held high?
Can you even look me in the eye?
-
Let me tell you bout hard work
Minimum wage with a baby on the way
-
Let me tell you bout hard work
Rebuilding your house after the bombs took them away
-
Let me tell you bout hard work
Building a bed out of a card board box
Let me tell you bout hard work, hard work
Hard work
You don't know nothing bout hard work hard work
Hard work, Oh!
How do you sleep at night?
How do you walk with your head held high?
Dear Mr. President,
you'd never take a walk with me
would you?
