Woodrow Chords

Capo 5th fret

Standard (EADGBE)

When Cpeople twist your Gwords, Woodrow, ah, they'll Ctwist at every Emwhim

It's Gthugs that run the Cunions now and Guse your songs like Emhymns

Once, your Cmusic danced on Gwomen's thighs and the arch of a hobo's

Embrow-Dow

Aw, CMrs. Guthrie look Gwhat they done to your Cbrown-eyed Dbaby Gnow

Oh, the Ctrains leave every Gmorning, some go Ceast and some go Emwest

And the Gclacking of the Ciron is the Gsound you love the Embest

It's the Cgreat escape from Grailroad bulls and the Coney Island EmgirlDs

Aw, CMrs. Guthrie, look Gwhat we done to your Cbrown eyed Dboy with Gcurls

Chorus

Sing the Emtruth, scream it Gloud (2nd time: sing it loud)

Aw, CMrs. Guthrie, look Gwhat they done to your Cbrown-eyed Dbaby Gnow

(2nd time: we done)

All those Cboxcars full of GChinese junk, the Ccaboose has been junk Empiled

And we're Gall buying gCroceries now from Gmen with crooked Emsmiles

You were a Cdrunken, wild misGogyneer and your politics were EmcrudDe

As you sCat home writing Gnursery rhymes and Cdrawing Dwomen Gnude

And Call those politicians Gbreaths stink bad, be they Cleft or be they

Emright

And the Gones who play with Crhetoric are not the Gones to Emfight

Don't go Ccoming 'round here, GWoodrow, they'll stretch you from a EmropeD

And your Ccorpse won't ever Gfind a bar where a Cman can Ddrink and Gsmoke

Repeat Chorus

Instrumental

chorus)

CDid you hear the screGen door slCam, Ma, Woodrow'Ems gone again

He's Gwritin' obscene Cletters now, the GFeds might bring him Emin

But Cevery song he Gever wrote is hangin' on the EmbreeDze

With the lCaundry in the GGuthrie yard full of CHuntingDton's disGease

So, CWoodrow, rest in Gpeace, old pal, there ain't Cnothin' for you Emhere

We're Gin the scrub oak Ccountry now, the Gland of dread an' Emfear

And Cwhitey's in the wood pile and the Gwriting's on the EmwallD

But your Cring of truth still Gechoes down the CGreystone Dclinic Ghall

Repeat Chorus

So Chere's to all outsiders, all the Gones who Ccould not Emfit

The Gtroubadour, the Cprisoners, the Gdrunken IndEmian

Ah, the Ccircus freaks, the wounded lovers will Gmake it through EmsomehDow

Ah, CMrs. Guthrie, we are Gridin' blind with your Cbrown eyed Dbaby Gnow

Sing the Emtruth scream it Gloud

Ah, CMrs. Guthrie, look Gwhat we done to your Cbrown-eyed Dbaby Gnow

Sing the Emtruth, scream it lGoud

Ah, CMrs. Guthrie, look wGhat we done to your Cbrown-eyed bDaby nGow
