Goodbye Joe - Tom MacDonald

Intro: C

Verse:
  Em                        D
America is goinʼ woke, the streets are full of fire and smoke
      G                               C
This ainʼt the way I thought it would be
     Em                               D
The White House full of evil folks, Americans ainʼt free no more
      G                               C            Em
They donʼt respect folks like you and me (oh-oh-oh-oh)

Em                                      D
The way weʼre treated ainʼt been fair, fake news on every TV
G                                        C
Four years weʼve been in this nightmare while they killed American dreams
Em                               D
We canʼt afford our lives here, ran food and gasoline
       G                                          C
These colors donʼt run, and I only want it once, buddy, donʼt tread on me

Pre-chorus:
Em                           D
I wonʼt forget the ones who died for our freedom
       G                   C
And I ainʼt gonna hand it back (no, no, no)
    Em                          D
If liberty and justice ainʼt enough to believe
              G                         C
And then get outta here and donʼt look back (go, go, go)

Chorus:
             Em                              D
We love our home and if you donʼt pack your bags, youʼre free to go
               G                                          C
Donʼt let the big door hit you with a good Lordʼs playa, wave goodbye to Joe
             Em                                  D
We love our land, if you ainʼt fans, buddy will help you pack your bags
               G                                          C
Donʼt let the big door hit you with a good Lordʼs playa, burn someone elseʼs flag

Verse:
  Em                       D
America is losinʼ hope, divided by the way we vote
      G                                 C
This ainʼt the way that this all should be
       Em                                     D
Weʼre fightinʼ over memes and jokes, theyʼre burninʼ flags that we hold close
      G                         C             Em
They think that warʼs only overseas (oh-oh-oh-oh)

Em                                     D
The way weʼre paininʼ ainʼt been fair, so what, you donʼt know me
G                                               C
You got somethinʼ to say, well Iʼm right here, thank us for the freedom of speech
Em                                     D
You would like to claim I donʼt care ʼcause I ainʼt gonna bend no knee
       G                                          C
These colors donʼt run, and I only want it once, buddy donʼt tread on me

Pre-chorus:
Em                           D
I wonʼt forget the ones who died for our freedom
       G                   C
And I ainʼt gonna hand it back (no, no, no)
    Em                          D
If liberty and justice ainʼt enough to believe
              G                         C
And then get outta here and donʼt look back (go, go, go)

Chorus:
             Em                              D
We love our home and if you donʼt pack your bags, youʼre free to go
               G                                          C
Donʼt let the big door hit you with a good Lordʼs playa, wave goodbye to Joe
             Em                                  D
We love our land, if you ainʼt fans, buddy will help you pack your bags
               G                                          C
Donʼt let the big door hit you with a good Lordʼs playa, burn someone elseʼs flag

Bridge:
Em                             D              G
If you look close youʼll see America (oh, oh, oh)
                               C               Em
She donʼt look quite like she did (oh, oh, oh, oh)
                                  D                    G
This ainʼt the country that our parents loved (oh, oh, oh)
                             C
But I still hear her on the wind (oh, oh, oh, oh)

Chorus:
             Em                              D
We love our home and if you donʼt pack your bags, youʼre free to go
               G                                          C
Donʼt let the big door hit you with a good Lordʼs playa, wave goodbye to Joe
             Em                                  D
We love our land, if you ainʼt fans, buddy will help you pack your bags
               G                                          C
Donʼt let the big door hit you with a good Lordʼs playa, burn someone elseʼs flag
