Standard (EADGBE)

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

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

 Of lookin’ like Jesus Christ, hallelujah

Instrumental

 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

 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

 I’ll just lay around the house and smoke marijuana – ooohhh

Instrumental

 It says right there in the Constitution

 It’s really A-OK to have a revolution

 When the leaders that you made

 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

Soon
