      G
They say
          G7                      C                  Am7
George Washington’s yielding his power and stepping away
D7     G
‘Zat true?
 G7                       C                     Am7 D7
I wasn’t aware that was something a person could do
        Em
I’m perplexed
     G                     C                   Am7
Are they gonna keep on replacing whoever’s in charge?
D7          Em
If so, who’s next?
        G                       C
There’s nobody else in their country who looms quite as large
D7(4)
(A sentinel whispers in King George’s ear)
D7(4)
John Adams!
        G
I know him
          G7
That can’t be
               C                    Am7
That’s that little guy who spoke to me
D7                G
All those years ago
                 G7
What was it, eighty-five?
           C                           Cm7
That poor man, they’re gonna eat him alive!
D7      Em
Oceans rise
         G
Empires fall
           C                      Cm7
Next to Washington, they all look small
D7    Em
All alone
           G
Watch them run
           C                    Am7
They will tear each other into pieces
   D7                       G
Jesus Christ, this will be fun!

             G7              C
