Chords in this song4

Verse 1

Some folks are born, made to wave the flag
Ooh, they're red, white and blue
And when the band plays hail to the chief
Ooh, they point the cannon at you, y'all

Chorus

It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no senator's son, y'all
It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no fortunate one, no

Verse 2

Some folks are born, silver spoon in hand
Lord, don't they help themselves, y'all
But when the tax man comes to the door
Lord, the house looks like a rummage sale, yeah

Chorus

It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no millionaire's son, no
It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no fortunate one, no

Verse 3

Some folks inherit star-spangled eyes
Ooh, they send you down to war, Lord
And when you ask 'em, "How much should we give?"
They only answer, "More! More! More!", yoh

Chorus

It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no military son, son
It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no fortunate one, no
It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no fortunate one, no no no
It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no fortunate son, no no no
