Emily White - Election Year


CAPO: 3rd Fret




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
