I ain't no senator's son 
                       D 
It ain't me, it ain't me 
C                     G 
I ain't no fortunate one, no

Ooh, they send you down to war, Lord 
                       F 
And when you ask them, how much should we give 
C                      G 
Oh, they only answer, more, more, more, yoh

C                     G 
I ain't no fortunate one, no 

It ain't me, it ain't me 
C                     G 
I ain't no senator's son 
                       D 
It ain't me, it ain't me
