The Byrds I Want To Grow Up To Be A Politician By R. McGuinn
                                                  J. Levy

G                               A7
I want to grow up to be a politician
    D7                        G
And take over this beautiful land
G                               A7
I want to grow up to be a politician
    D7
And be the old USA'a number one man
             G                      A7
I always be tough  but I'll never be scary
                D7                 G
I want to shoot guns  or butter my bread
G                                         A7
I want to build towns  or conservate the prairie
             D7                  G
And you can believe the future's ahead
     C                                   G      G/F#    En
I'll give the young the right to vote as soon as they mature
    A7                                  D7
But spare the rod and spoil the child to help them feel secure
    C                       G          G/F#  Em
And if I win election day I might give you a job
     A7                                D7
I'll sign the bill to help the poor to show I'm not a snob
             G                            A7
I'll open my doors I'm chargin' no admission
               D7                               G
And you can be sure I'll be glad to give you my hand
G                               A7
I want to grow up to be a politician
    D7                       G
And take over this beautiful land

C    G    A7   D7

     C                                G   G#F      Em
I'll make you glad you got me in with everything I do
     A7                             D7
And I'll defend until the end   the old red white and blue
               G                 A7
I want to grow up to be a politician
    D7                       G
And take over this beautiful land
    D7                       G
And take over this beautiful land
    D7                       G
And take over this beautiful land
