Chords

*This is exactly how Aaron played it on Country Rebel. Song is in key of C. If you don't want to use a capo, transpose up 5, he hammers onto the Csus2 from the G/B chord in the intro and outro* Note: For C he plays Csus2, G he plays Gsus2, D he plays Dsus2, and Em he plays Em7 on basically all his songs with this progression. You can play G, C, D, and Em and it will sound fine. [Intro] C G G/B C G G/B C G D [Verse]
           G
If it were up to me

          C               G
I know it ain't but if it was

                C                  G
The land of the free wouldn't cost so much

                      D
And the bank wouldn't own it all
[Verse]
                 G
I'd run things differently

         C              G
I know I can't but if I could

                C            G
I'd stand where lady liberty stood

         D
Before I'd let her fall

            C
I'd build a better life

      G
And a bigger wall
[Chorus]
           C                                 G
If it were up to me the churches would stay open

           Em                              D
If it were up to me our borders would stay closed

        C                                       G
And the helping then would go to those still working

                         D
Their fingers to the bone

       C              G               D
Can't help but wonder how much better it would be

G
If it were up to me
[Verse]
               C                G
The games they play with all of us

        C        G
As our history turns to dust

             D
Would all be over

         G
Hang the Constitution back up

    C          G
And fight for those who fought for us

             C             G                           D
I'd make "In God We Trust" more just than words on the dollar
[Chorus]
           C                                 G
If it were up to me the churches would stay open

           Em                              D
If it were up to me our borders would stay closed

        C                                       G
And the helping then would go to those still working

                         D
Their fingers to the bone

       C              G               D
Can't help but wonder how much better it would be

           G
If it were up to me
[Break] G/B C G C G D [Bridge]
           G
If it were up to me there'd be

          C               G
A bolder line 'tween good and evil

          C                G
Wrong and right and we the people

        D
Would always get to speak

            C
Whenever we dang well please
[Chorus]
           C                                 G
If it were up to me the churches would stay open

           Em                              D
If it were up to me our borders would stay closed

        C                                       G
And the helping then would go to those still working

                         D
Their fingers to the bone

       C              G               D
Can't help but wonder how much better it would be

         C        D      G       D
I can't help but wonder how much it would be

N.C.       G
If it were up to me
