The Ross Perot Guide To Answering Embarrassing Questions chords by Pete Seeger

Chords with lyrics

Tuning: Standard (E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD G+G BB E MajorE)

Verse 1:
                    E MajorE
 When something in my history is found
A augmentedA            F#F#          B minorBm
 Which contradicts the views that I propound
  G+G     F#F#  G+G   F#F#            E7*
 Or shows that I perhaps am not the guy I claim to be
             A augmentedA
 Here's what I usually do


Chorus:

    D MajorD
 I lie
F#F#          B minorBm
 I simply boldly falsify
   F#F#               B minorBm
 I look the other feller in the eye
      G+G  F#F#  G+G   A augmentedA
 And just deny, deny, deny
    D MajorD
 I lie

Verse 2:
                   E MajorE
 I don t apologize. Not me. Instead
A augmentedA        F#F#         B minorBm
 I say I never said the things I said
    G+G    F#F#     G+G      F#F#
 Nor did the things some people saw me do
    E MajorE          E7E7           A augmentedA
 When confronted by some things they know are true


Chorus:

    D MajorD
 I lie
F#F#          B minorBm
 I simply boldly falsify
   F#F#               B minorBm
 I look the other feller in the eye
      G+G  F#F#  G+G  A augmentedA
 And just deny, deny, deny
    D MajorD
 I lie

Verse 3:
                       E MajorE
 I hate those weasel words some slickies use
   A augmentedA     F#F#            B minorBm
 To blur their past or muddy up their views
    G+G    F#F#     G+G         F#F#
 Not me. I'm blunt. One thing that makes me great
      E MajorE            A augmentedA
 Is that I'll never dodge nor obfuscate


Chorus:

     D MajorD
 I lie
F#F#          B minorBm
 I simply boldly falsify
   F#F#               B minorBm
 I look the other feller in the eye
      G+G  F#F#  G+G  A augmentedA
 And just deny, deny, deny
    D MajorD
 I lie
