INTRO: D  G  C    D  G  Fmaj7  F

         D         G                 C
We got a brand new park 'cause it's election year
D       G             Fmaj7       F
New sidewalks for the wheelchairs
     D              G
They cleaned up the needles
            D         G
Look at 'em bent over backwards
    C                     F
And now it's your turn to vote

INTERLUDE: D  G  C    D  G  Fmaj7


        D              G             C
All the buildings went condo before election year
           D        G       Fmaj7     F
Now we can barely afford to live here
     D             G
They built up that high-rise
D               G
Blocked out our sunlight
C                    F      C
Now it's our turn to vote____


INSTRUMENTAL: C  D  C    D  G  (2x)


         D             G            C
It's all Starbucks and tanning for election year
  D             G             Fmaj7
A few try to preserve what we share
           D            G
At the new park for the white kids
    D         G
The local politician
   C                        F
Is telling us why we should vote for her


INTERLUDE: D  G  C    D  G  Fmaj7


       D                G               C
'Cause everyone has got questions this election year
    D           G        Fmaj7     F
And no one's answers are clear
     D                G
What stores will move in
D            G
What out and when?
    C                  F
And mostly, how can we vote


          D               G            C
With only one name on the ballot this election year
D                   G         Fmaj7
No one else allowed on out of fear
             D           G
We might get someone who sees
              D           G
You can't put lipstick on need
    C                    F    D  G  C    D  G  F
