Tonart: D major•
Verse 1
D
A
The president's dead, the radio said,
Em
G
A
Dear friends, is it not so horrible?
Em
A shot through my heart,
G
like a knife right through bread,
Verse 2
A
The sea doesn't dry and
the sky isn't split,
Em
G
But friends it just seems so wrong,
A shot from the crowd,
Em
G
and a shot in the head,
A
The president's lying on
Verse 3
with his
black-dressed agents
G
Guns drawn running around
Say he was a good man,
Em
you can't argue with that
G
A
D
Not today you can't, not now you can't.
Verse 4
A
In the media tent where
they spin and they slant,
Em
G
They just foam the mouth and
Em
G
Those bloodsuckers can wait until those vulture's cool in,
Verse 5
"The President's dead."
D
A
Let's imagine the way,
Em
let's say 30 years in,
How somebody will say,
G
A
"What you were doing when...?"
On a beautiful day,
Em
G
I was waking up and
A
D
I was lying in bed with my girlfriend
And the eggs on the plate,
Em
G
And the coffee was great,
Verse 6
there was spring on the wind.
A
If you don't live through a day
Em
G
for the littlest things,
A
And the littlest ways made
D
you feel you were blessed
A
If you died right then,
well you know you'd be missed,
Em
But there's no better state
G
A
to cease to exist
And you wouldn't feel sad,
Em
and you wouldn't resist
G
Cause you knew what you had,
A
D
and were thankful for it
A
In your own little way,
Verse 7
I'm a small quiet man
Em
G
I've got no wars to win,
I don't have a big plan
A
But I love my new place,
Em
G
and I love my old friends
And I scrimp and I save,
A
D
and one day I'll have kids.
Verse 8
A
I can truthfully say that
my day was like that,
Em
G
'Til the radio playing on
Em
Fired out this report and
in 3 words they said,
G
A
Like three shots to my head,
D
A
Em
G
D
A
Em
G
D
"The Presid ent's
A
Em
G
D
A

Dead."
