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
