Stetson Kennedy chords by Billy Bragg

Tuning: Standard

Difficulty: Novice



Em       Bm
I done spent my last three cents
Am            Em
Mailing my letter to the president
Em               Bm
I didn't make a show, I didn't make a dent
Am                Em
So I'm swinging over to this independent gent
G    D
Stetson Kennedy
G      D
Writing his name in
Em D C D X2

Em         Bm
I can't win out to save my soul
    Am            Em
Long as Smathers-Dupont's got me in the hole
Em            Bm
Them war profit boys are squawking and balking
Am               Em
That's what's got me out here walking and talking
G      D     G    D
Knocking on doors and windows
G      D     G     D
Wake up and run down election morning
Em     D    C    D
And scribble in Stetson Kennedy

Em                    Bm
I ain't the world's best writer nor the world's best speller
      Am              Em
But when I believe in something I'm the loudest yeller
Em                Bm
If we fix it so's you can't make money on war
Am              Em
We'll all forget what we're killing folks for
G        D     G     D
We'll find us a peace job equal and free
G       D     G   D
Dump Smathers-Dupont in a salty sea
Em         D    C    D  Em D C D
Well, this makes Stetson Kennedy the man for me
