The Byrds I Want To Grow Up To Be A Politician By R. McGuinn
J. Levy
G A7
I want to grow up to be a politician
D7 G
And take over this beautiful land
G A7
I want to grow up to be a politician
D7
And be the old USA’a number one man
G A7
I always be tough but I’ll never be scary
D7 G
I want to shoot guns or butter my bread
G A7
I want to build towns or conservate the prairie
D7 G
And you can believe the future’s ahead
C G G/F# En
I’ll give the young the right to vote as soon as they mature
A7 D7
But spare the rod and spoil the child to help them feel secure
C G G/F# Em
And if I win election day I might give you a job
A7 D7
I’ll sign the bill to help the poor to show I’m not a snob
G A7
I’ll open my doors I’m chargin’ no admission
D7 G
And you can be sure I’ll be glad to give you my hand
G A7
I want to grow up to be a politician
D7 G
And take over this beautiful land
C G A7 D7
C G G#F Em
I’ll make you glad you got me in with everything I do
A7 D7
And I’ll defend until the end the old red white and blue
G A7
I want to grow up to be a politician
D7 G
And take over this beautiful land
D7 G
And take over this beautiful land
D7 G
And take over this beautiful land
