FORTUNATE SON

Creedence Clearwater Revival

 

[G][D][C][G][G][D][C][G]

 

[G] Some folks are born, [F] made to wave the flag.

[C] Oh, that red white and [G] blue.

[G] And when the band plays [F] "Hail to the Chief".

[C] Oh, they point the cannon at [G] you.

 

[G] It ain't me, [D] it ain't me.

[C] I ain't no senator's [G] son, no.

[G] It ain't me, [D] it ain't me.

[C] I ain't no fortunate [G] son, no.

 

[G] Some folks are born, [F] silver spoon in hand,

[C] Lord, don't they help them-[G]-selves.

[G] But when the tax man [F] comes to the door,

[C] Lord, the house looks like a rummage [G] sale.

 

[G] It ain't me, [D] it ain't me.

[C] I ain't no millionaire's [G] son, no.

[G] It ain't me, [D] it ain't me.

[C] I ain't no fortunate [G] son, no.

 

[G] Some folks inherit [F] star spangled eyes,

[C] Oh they'll send ya down to [G] war.

[G] But when you ask 'em [F] how much should we give,

[C] They'll only answer, [G] more, more, more.

 

[G] It ain't me, [D] It ain't me.

[C] I ain't no military [G] son, no!

[G] It ain't me, [D] it ain't me.

[C] I ain't no fortunate [G] one, no.

 

[G] It ain't me, [D] it ain't me.

[C] I ain't no fortunate [G] son, no.
