Dear Mr. President

Bb                  D#                 Bb
I'm looking outside of my window

                         G#
The view that I see is a child and mama

And the child is begging for money

Bb
Tell me why, tell me why

The woman is blind

Is she so broke the kid's dealing crime

G#
It's such a beautiful city

But the world is burning it down

Bb
ya ya ya ya ya ya

ya ya ya ya ya

            G#
It's such a beautiful city

                                           Bb
But the world is burning it down

I go to my room to turn on the TV

                        G#
I sit myself down and I start laughing hard

'Cause this man he's asking for money

        Bb
He says if you send me lots of cash

I'll send you stuff to make you rich fast

G#
It's such a wonderful country

But the man he's burning it down

Bb
ya ya ya ya ya ya

ya ya ya ya ya

            G#
It's such a wonderful country

But the man he's burning it down

Bb
ya ya ya ya ya ya

ya ya ya ya ya

         G#
And it's burning down

And it's called the US of A

F#          G#                    Bb
One day I'm going to have lots of money

    F#           G#               Bb                D#
But I'll have to give up for this rich society

F#            G#                           Bb
Oh please Mr. President will you lend me a future

F#                        G#
'Cause you'll just get it back

                                                D#    G#
From the little blind woman with the kid on the corner

                  Bb     D#
And the people all over, doin' crack

Bb
ya ya ya ya ya ya

ya ya ya ya ya

            G#
It's such a wonderful country

But the man he's burning it down

Bb
ya ya ya ya ya ya

ya ya ya ya ya

         G#
And it's burning down

                                           Bb
And it's called the US of A

D#               Bb
I'm walking outside on a sunny day

                   Dm    G#
With no one around and I wonder what's wrong

                              D#
The I hear this loud piercing siren

Bb    D#                           Bb
Oh my God the bomb has just dropped

And everybody climbed right on top

G#
Screaming, what a wonderful country

But the man he's burning it down, he's burning it down

Bb
ya ya ya ya ya ya

ya ya ya ya ya

G#
It's such a wonderful country

But the man he's burning it down, he's burning it down

Bb
ya ya ya ya ya ya

ya ya ya ya ya

         G#
And it's burning down

And it's called the US of A

Bb
ya ya ya ya ya ya

ya ya ya ya ya
