Misc Cartoons – Animaniacs - Magna Carta (Guitar)

         Bm
Don't be coy, Old Johnny Boy

        F#m
We have seen what you've decreed

                  G
You've taxed and pillaged every village

      D
And ignored their every need

       Em
So, we wrote the Magna Carta

         Bm
Which is Latin for "Great Charter!"

    F#                                                  Bm
And you'd do well, lest folk rebel, to sign this clever creed

             Bm
The British Isles will have fair trials

    F#m
And I'll tell you what's more

        G
Neither King, nor Son, nor anyone

                  D
Will be above the Law

       Em
So if you're to have a hope

             Bm
And win the blessings of the Pope

          F#
You can't decline, you'll have to sign, or face a civil war

        D
Though you'll be vexed, this deed's effects

    Em
Go far beyond on this region

        A
You can stamp and shout and whine about

     F#
This blatant act of treason

       G             A
But we demand habeas corpus

         F#m                Bm
Meaning "tyrants should be cautious!"

    C#mb5
No more arrests at the King's behest

                       F#
For now you'll need a reason

               Bm
Unless you're craving one more bathing

         F#m
Embrace legal restitution

            G
Church and State will separate

                D
Or there'll be regal revolution

       Em
And the message then will spread

             Bm
Like liberty butter on freedom bread!

             F#
Through the ages, to the pages of the U.S. Constitution

         D
In eight-hundred years, to peoples' cheers

       Em
These words will further travel

    A
To unclasp each despot's grasp

      F#
And to ensure their reign's unravel.

             G             A
Rights were granted at our birth

     G         A     Bm
To every corner of the Earth

F#
From United Nations'

F#
Declarations

F#                   Bm
"Down to every judge's gavel!"
