[Verse 1]
Dear Mr. [G]President
[D]Come take a walk with me[Em][D]
Let's [G]pretend we're just
two people [D]and
You're not better than me
I'd [Em]like to ask you some questions
if we can [D]speak honestly

[Verse 2]
[C]
What do [Em]you [Am]feel when you see all the
[G]homeless on the [D]street?[C]
Who do [Em]you p[Am]ray for at night
[G]before you go to sleep?
[D]Wha[C]t do you feel w[Am]hen
you look in the [Em]mirror?[D]
Are you proud?
[C]

[Verse 3]
How do you [G]sleep while the
[D]rest of us [Am]cry?[C]
How do you [G]dream when [D]a mother
has no [Am]chance to say [C]goodbye?
How do you [G]walk with your
[D]head held [C]high?
Can you [Em]even look me in the [C]eye

[Interlude 1]
And tell me why?

[Verse 4]
Dear Mr. [G]President
[D]Were you a lonely boy?
[Em](Are you a lonely boy?)
Are you a lonely boy?
(Are you a [D]lonely boy?)
How can you say
[G]No child is left beh[D]ind?
We're not dumb,
and we're not [Em]blind
They're all sitting in your cells
[D]While you pave the road to hel[C]l
What kind [Em]of father

[Verse 5]
[Am]would take his own
[G]daughter's rights [D]away?[C]
And what kind [Em]of f[Am]ather might hate his
own [G]daughter if she were [D]gay?[C]
I can only ima[Am]gine [D]what the
[A]first [G]lady has [D]to say
You've come [Em]a long way from
whiskey and cocaine
[A]

[Verse 6]
How do you [G]sleep while the
[D]rest of us [Am]cry?[C]
How do you [G]dream when [D]a mother
has no [Am]chance to say [C]goodbye?
How do you [G]walk with your
[D]head held [C]high?
Can you [Em]even look me [D]in the [C]eye?

[Verse 7]
Let me tell you 'bout [Em]hard
[D]work[G]
Minimum [Am]wage with
a baby on [G]the way[C]
Let me tell you 'bout [Em]hard
[D]work[G]
Rebuilding your [Am]house after the
bombs took [D]them [C]away
Let me tell you 'bout
[Em]hard [D]work[G]
Building a [Am]bed out o[Em]f a cardboard [C]box
Let me tell you 'bout [Em]hard work
[D]Hard [G]work
[Am]Hard [G]work
[C]You don't know nothing
'bout [Em]hard work
[D]Hard [G]work
Hard [Am]work
[Em]Oh

[Interlude 2]

[Verse 8]
[G]How do you sleep [D]at night?
[Em]How do you walk [D]with your
head [G]held high?
Dear Mr. [D]President
You'd never take a walk
with [Em]me[D]
Would you?
