Say Can You See

            G                  
I love this country, I love the 
 C              G
people and the land
              G                    
But there’s a lot of stuff 
         D
happening that I can’t understand
       G                           
We got billions for bailouts, we 
  C             G
got trillions for wars
         G                         
But it’s hard for working people to
 D             G
 make a living anymore

                  G                
Hear me out for a second, this 
    C         G
ain’t a partisan song
               G                   
It ain’t about right and left, it’s
       D
 about right and wrong
                        G          
We’re fighting over the scraps 
            C           G
while a few are living like kings
       G                   
‘Cause screwing us over’s a 
 D          G
bipartisan thing

[Chorus]

         C       G          C    
And it’s working people who made 
             G
this country great
        C            G             
Not the greedy opportunists or the 
D
peddlers of hate
         C        G           
And if a new day’s coming, it’s 
        B7                C
gotta come from you and me
G  D            C
Oh say, can you see?


[Verse]

             G                  
See, I got a neighbour, we don’t 
 C      G
always agree

                G                  
He’s a bit of a redneck, according 
     D
to a hippy like me
            G                    
But if you’re in the ditch, he’ll 
          C              G
pull you out, I know he will
           G                       
And that’s more than I can say for 
          D                G
all those dickheads on the hill

           G                       
He works hard for his family, he’s 
    C           G
got loyalty and pride
            G                   
The company took all he gave and 
      D
then cast him aside
             G                 
See, there’s profit in poverty, 
               C         G
hell, there’s profit in prisons
            G                      
And they don’t even pay taxes, they
 D             G
 just buy politicians

[Chorus]

         C       G          C    
But it’s working people who made 
             G
this country great
        C            G             
Not the greedy opportunists or the 
D
peddlers of hate
         C        G           
And if a new day’s coming, it’s 
        B7                C
gotta come from you and me
G  D            C
Oh say, can you see?
Em D            C
Oh say, can you see?


[Verse]

            G                 C   
In New York Harbour there’s a lady
        G
 with a flame
               G                   
Still calling in the huddled masses
    D
 in Liberty’s name
            G                      
But there’s fear on the airwaves 
  C                    G
and hatred wrapped in the flag
            G                      
Turning strangers into enemies and 
 D             G
our riches into rags

      G                       C   
And a revolution to break the grip
    G
 of greed
            G                      
Don’t need a strongman or a 
 D
saviour, but I believe we’re gonna 
need
            G                    C
Whatever magic this old world’s 
           G
got left to start
            G                
And all the ammunition in the 
 D               G
chambers of our hearts


[Chorus]
     C       G          C        
It’s working people who made this
         G
 country great
        C            G             
Not the greedy opportunists or the 
D
peddlers of hate
         C        G           
And if a new day’s coming, it’s 
        B7                C
gotta come from you and me
G  D            C
Oh say, can you see?
Em D            C
Oh say, can you see?
