"Fortunate Son"
Music & Lyrics by John Fogherty

G F
Some folks are born made to wave the flag,
C7 G
Ooh, that red, white and blue
G F
And when the band plays "hail to the chief",
C7 G
Ooh, they point the cannon at you, lord!

G D C G
It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no senator's son, son

G D C G
It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no fortunate one, no

G F
Some folks are born silver spoon in hand,
C7 G
Lord, don't they help themselves, oh
G F
But when the taxman comes to the door,
C7 G
Lord, the house lookin' like a rummage sale, yeah

G D C G
It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no millionaire's son, no
G D C G
It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no fortunate one, no
G F C G x2

G F
Some folks inherit star spangled eyes,
C7 G
Ooh, and they send you down to war, lord
G F
And when you ask them, "how much should we give?"
C7 G G G G
Ooh, the only answer is more! more! more! yeah!

G D C G
It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no military son, son
G D C G
It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no fortunate one, one
G D C G
It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no fortunate one, no
G D C G
It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no fortunate son, son
