Verse 1

Bm              G
the okie from Muskogee's a junkie now
armed to the teeth with his man in power
Em              F#m
is he high on Oxycontin
Em              F#
nearly gone perhaps forgotten

Verse 2

        Bm              G
while the rock stars and celebrities
on sabbatical in the Hebrides
   Em              F#m
giving lectures on integrity
   Em              F#
as models of moral purity

Chorus 1

     A
well can you stand the irony
        G               A
oh the dignity of the office
        D               A       Bm
it is erect and at the bottom of the sea
        Em              F#m
now we see what we truly are
        G
and say we can do better than this
        Gm
close your hand and make a fist

Bm G Bm G Em F#m Em F#

Verse 3

Bm                      G
When i was just a litte boy, there
was no more noble I could aspire to
Em              F#m
choose to be self-evident
Em              F#
take an oath, become the president

Verse 4

                Bm                              G
I believe that we the people have mostly good intentions
'cept for the one whose name we won't even mention
Em              F#m
oh will his lies surely bury us
Em              A
is the truth so much more nefarious

Chorus 2

        G               A
oh the dignity of the office
        D               A       Bm
it is erect and at the bottom of the sea
        G               A
Now when we throw this burden off us
        D         A        Bm
and restore some shred of dignity
        Em              F#m
now we see what we truly are
        G
and say we can do better than this
        Gm
close your hand and make a fist
