The Dignity

Bm G Bm G

[Verse 1]
Bm              G
the okie from Muskogee's a junkie 
now

armed to the teeth with his man in 
power
Em              F#m
is he high on Oxycontin
Em              F#
nearly gone perhaps forgotten

[Verse 2]
        Bm              G
while the rock stars and celebrities

on sabbatical in the Hebrides
   Em              F#m
giving lectures on integrity
   Em              F#
as models of moral purity

[Chorus 1]
     A
well can you stand the irony
Continues after the ad
        G               A
oh the dignity of the office
        D               A       
it is erect and at the bottom of the
Bm
 sea
        Em              F#m
now we see what we truly are
        G
and say we can do better than this
        Gm
close your hand and make a fist

[Bridge]
Bm G Bm G Em F#m Em F#

[Verse 3]
Bm                      G
When i was just a litte boy, there

was no more noble I could aspire to
Em              F#m
choose to be self-evident
Em              F#
take an oath, become the president

[Verse 4]
                Bm               
I believe that we the people have 
               G
mostly good intentions

'cept for the one whose name we 
won't even mention
Em              F#m
oh will his lies surely bury us
Em              A
is the truth so much more nefarious

[Chorus 2]
        G               A
oh the dignity of the office
        D               A       
it is erect and at the bottom of the
Bm
 sea
        G               A
Now when we throw this burden off us
        D         A        Bm
and restore some shred of dignity
        Em              F#m
now we see what we truly are
        G
and say we can do better than this
        Gm
close your hand and make a fist
