^Eb It's Christmas time in Washington
The ^Ab Democrats rehearsed
^Bb Getting into gear for four more years
^Ab Things not getting ^Eb worse
^Eb Republicans drink whiskey neat
And ^Ab thank their lucky stars
Said he ^Bb cannot seek another term
They'll be ^Ab no more F ^Eb DRs
^Eb I sat home in Tennessee
Just ^Ab Staring at the screen
An u ^Bb n-easy feeling in my chest
And I'm ^Ab wondering what it ^Eb means
So ^Eb come back Woody Guthrie
^Ab Come back to us now
^Bb Tear your eyes from paradise
And ^Ab rise again some ^Eb how
If ^Eb you run into Jesus
Maybe ^Ab he can help you out
^Bb Come back Woody Guthr ^Ab ie ^Bb to us ^Eb now
instrumental
^Eb I Followed in your footsteps once
Back ^Ab in my travel days
^Bb Somewhere I failed to find your trail
Now I'm ^Ab stumblin' through the ^Eb haze
But there's killers on the highway
And ^Ab man can't get around
So I ^Bb sold my soul for wheels that roll
And I'm ^Ab stuck here in this ^Eb town
So ^Eb come back Woody Guthrie
^Ab Come back to us now
^Bb tear your eyes from paradise
And ^Ab rise again some ^Eb how
If ^Eb you run into Jesus
Maybe ^Ab he can help us out
^Bb Come back Woody Guthr ^Ab ie ^Bb to us ^Eb now
^Eb There's foxes in the hen house
^Ab Cows out in the corn
The ^Bb Unions have been busted
The ^Ab proud red banners ^Eb torn
^Eb To you listen to the radio
You'd ^Ab think it all was real
But ^Bb you and me and Cisco know
It's ^Ab going stra ^Bb ight to ^Eb hell
^Eb So come back Emma Goldman
^Ab Rise up old Joe Hill
The ^Bb barracades are going up
They ^Ab cannot break our ^Eb will
^Eb Come back to us Malcolm X
And ^Ab Martin Luther King
^Bb We're marching into Selma
As the ^Ab bells of ^Bb freedom ^Eb ring
So ^Eb come back Woody Guthrie
^Ab Come back to us now
^Bb Ttear your eyes from paradise
And ^Ab rise ag ^Bb ain some ^Eb how
