[Verse 1]

A                      G     
Some folks are born to wave the flag,
D                        A
Ooh, that red, white and blue,
A                        G
And when the band plays "hail to the chief",
D                             A     
Ooh, they point the cannon at you, lord!
A            E            D                    A    
It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no senator's son, son.
A            E            D                    A  
It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no fortunate one, no


[Verse 2]

A                   G     
Some folks are born silver spoon in hand,
D                     A
Lord, don't they help themselves, oh.
A                   G
But when the taxman comes to the door,
D                                      A
Lord, the house lookin' like a rummage sale, yeah.
A            E            D                        A    
It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no millionaire's son, no, no
A            E            D                    A
It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no fortunate one, no.

[Verse 3]

A                 G          
Some folks inherit star spangled eyes,
D                              A              
Ooh, and they send you down to war, lord,
A                     G            
And when you ask them, "how much should we give?"
D                       A     A     A     A
Ooh, the only answer is more! more! more! yeah!
A            E            D                   A
It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no military son, son,
A            E            D                    A 
It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no fortunate one, one.
A            E            D                   A
It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no fortunate one, no,
A            E            D                   A
It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no fortunate son, no, no.
