Emily White - Election Year


CAPO: 3rd Fret



INTRO: D MajorD G+G C majorC  D MajorD G+G Fmaj7Fmaj7 FF

     D MajorD     G+G         C majorC
We got a brand new park 'cause it's election year
D MajorD    G+G       Fmaj7Fmaj7    FF
New sidewalks for the wheelchairs
   D MajorD       G+G
They cleaned up the needles
      D MajorD     G+G
Look at 'em bent over backwards
  C majorC           FF
And now it's your turn to vote

INTERLUDE: D MajorD G+G C majorC  D MajorD G+G Fmaj7Fmaj7


    D MajorD       G+G       C majorC
All the buildings went condo before election year
      D MajorD    G+G    Fmaj7Fmaj7   FF
Now we can barely afford to live here
   D MajorD       G+G
They built up that high-rise
D MajorD        G+G
Blocked out our sunlight
C majorC          FF   C majorC
Now it's our turn to vote____


INSTRUMENTAL: C majorC D MajorD C majorC  D MajorD G+G (2x)


     D MajorD       G+G      C majorC
It's all Starbucks and tanning for election year
 D MajorD       G+G       Fmaj7Fmaj7
A augmentedA few try to preserve what we share
      D MajorD      G+G
At the new park for the white kids
  D MajorD     G+G
The local politician
  C majorC            FF
Is telling us why we should vote for her

INTERLUDE: D MajorD G+G C majorC  D MajorD G+G Fmaj7Fmaj7


    D MajorD        G+G        C majorC
'Cause everyone has got questions this election year
  D MajorD      G+G    Fmaj7Fmaj7   FF
And no one's answers are clear
   D MajorD        G+G
What stores will move in
D MajorD      G+G
What out and when?
  C majorC         FF
And mostly, how can we vote


     D MajorD        G+G      C majorC
With only one name on the ballot this election year
D MajorD          G+G     Fmaj7Fmaj7
No one else allowed on out of fear
       D MajorD      G+G
We might get someone who sees
       D MajorD      G+G
You can't put lipstick on need
  C majorC          FF  D MajorD G+G C majorC  D MajorD G+G FF
