Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Verse 1:
G
The people made you the president. You get your power from our consent.
Am               G/B        C
It’s not just a figure of speech.
G
If you do something you shouldn’t do, the constitution will deal with you.
Am            G/B        C
Congress has power to impeach.

Chorus 1:
Bb            F      C       G
Republicans, democrats, inbetweeners.
Bb                F         C     G
No one likes high crimes and misdemeanors
Em                                A7       Gm7b5/Eb  D7        G
Your tiny hands will scratch and claw, but nobody’s above the law.

Andrew Johnson and Clinton too.
G
Congress did what they had to do.
Am      G/B              C
Nixon resigned just in time.

Obstructing justice and perjury, emoluments, russian puppetry.

Treason is also a crime.

Chorus 2:
Bb            F        C     G
Republicans, democrats, inbetweeners.
Bb               F         C     G
Looking for high crimes and misdemeanors.
Em               Em/D          A7
Maybe this will stick in your craw.
    Gm7b5/Eb     D7           G
But nobody’s above the law

Bridge:
      Am                   Bm                  C                      D                 G        Gmaj7
They vote on the articles in the house of representatives, simple majority decides if you’re impeached.
  Am                          Bm                     C
Then there's a trial in the senate in which they consider the charges,
      D
and vote to remove you from
   Eb                   F                     Gm
office and if they get two thirds, then it’s done
            Gm             Cm         Am7b5    D7
And you're gone and you'll never hold office again!
D7
So, maybe that’s why:

Verse 3:
G
You don’t do business with foreign spies,
G
You don’t keep slush funds, you don’t tell lies.
Am      G/B                 C
History knows what you’ve done.

Chorus 3:
Bb            F         C    G
Republicans, democrats, inbetweeners
Bb            F              C     G
Tired of your high crimes and misdemeanors
Em                         A7
Founders and the framers foresaw,
    Gm7b5/Eb     D7     G     E7
But nobody’s above the law

Outro:
Gm7b5/Eb   D7       G         E7
Nobody’s above the law, even you
Gm7b5/Eb   D7
Nobody’s above
      G
The law.
