Stetson Kennedy chords by Billy Bragg

Chords with lyrics

Tuning: Standard

Difficulty: Novice


E minorEm       B minorBm
I done spent my last three cents
A minorAm            E minorEm
Mailing my letter to the president
E minorEm               B minorBm
I didn't make a show, I didn't make a dent
A minorAm                E minorEm
So I'm swinging over to this independent gent
G+G    D MajorD
Stetson Kennedy
G+G      D MajorD
Writing his name in
E minorEm D MajorD C majorC D MajorD X2

E minorEm         B minorBm
I can't win out to save my soul
    A minorAm            E minorEm
Long as Smathers-Dupont's got me in the hole
E minorEm            B minorBm
Them war profit boys are squawking and balking
A minorAm               E minorEm
That's what's got me out here walking and talking
G+G      D MajorD     G+G    D MajorD
Knocking on doors and windows
G+G      D MajorD     G+G     D MajorD
Wake up and run down election morning
E minorEm     D MajorD    C majorC    D MajorD
And scribble in Stetson Kennedy

E minorEm                    B minorBm
I ain't the world's best writer nor the world's best speller
      A minorAm              E minorEm
But when I believe in something I'm the loudest yeller
E minorEm                B minorBm
If we fix it so's you can't make money on war
A minorAm              E minorEm
We'll all forget what we're killing folks for
G+G        D MajorD     G+G     D MajorD
We'll find us a peace job equal and free
G+G       D MajorD     G+G   D MajorD
Dump Smathers-Dupont in a salty sea
E minorEm         D MajorD    C majorC    D MajorD  E minorEm D MajorD C majorC D MajorD
Well, this makes Stetson Kennedy the man for me
