C#
Hey, kids!

C
Hi!

        F
How you doing?

C
Good!

                      C#
Do you want to sing a song about the 50 states

C                  Dm                        C
and the inequities inherent in living in our nation's capital?

Dm
Yeah!

C                            G
Heck, let's do it, shall we? Okay

   F
Alabama and Alaska

    Dm
Arizona, Arkansas

     F
California, Colorado

    G            C
Connecticut, and more

                       Dm
There are 50 states in total

                                F
And we'll sing their names with glee

            C
But there's one place that gets shafted

         G             C#
And it's Washington, D.C

       C                         F#m            G           F
That's great, kids. Now, be more specific about the problem

                       C
All the rest of us can choose a path

                 F
That we think is best

                         F#m
But any choice that D.C. makes

   G      C
Is easily suppressed

            C
'Cause some asshole with a rider

          F
Who might live in Tennessee

    C
Can destroy a needle program

    G            F
For preventing HIV

                C                    C#             G                F
It's true. It's horrifying, but it's true. What's a solution, do you think?

F
Let them have gun laws!

F
Let them have weed!

Bb
Let them decide the

Bb
Things that they need!

              F                                   F#m        G
And if you're totally convinced that there should be just 50 states

           C                  F
Well, then let's all kick out Florida

       G                     F#m
'Cause no one thinks they're great

                            C
Oh, yes, let's all kick out Florida

          C#  C              F
'Cause no one thinks they're great!

C                       F
  No one thinks they're great
