But if you don't believe your country should
D

A                              D
I know the times are changing, factories closing down
     E                                                A
But if you stay and help us, we can turn these things around
A
But if you don't believe your country should

Ya can better serve your country,
                    A
by living somewhere else
 
[Verse 3]
A
And while our politicians,
D
divide our presious land
   E
We speak in French & English,
                     A
but they still don't understand
A
If you don't believe your country should
D
come before yourself
       E
Ya can better serve your country,
                    A
by living somewhere else
 
[Verse 4]
A
In a land that's short on heros,
     D
they trade our jobs away
    E
And we don't need no zeros to
                          A
come and help us save the day
A
So if you don't believe your country should
D
come before yourself
       E
Ya can better serve your country,
                    A
by living somewhere else
 
[Verse 5]
A
And if you should find your heaven,
      D
where stars & stripes are flown
       E
You'll learn to stand more proudly,
                         A
than you ever stood back home
A
And they'll tell you that your country,
     D
must come before yourself
          E
Or you'll have to serve your country
                    A
by living somewhere else
 
[Verse 6]
A                        D
So goodbye Jim & Jackie, goodbye John & May
