Pete Seeger – What A Friend We Have In Congress (Guitar)

C                        F
What a friend we have in Congress,

C                        G
Who will guard our every shore?

C                            F
Spends three quarters of our taxes,

C       G           C
Getting ready for a war.

G7                           C
Guns must make our coastline bristle,

F      C                G
And we need to fill the sky

C                         F
Full of planes and guided missiles -

C          G               C
They'll be paid for by and by.

C                        F
Have you noticed all the progress

C                      G
In our mighty airborne fleet?

C                       F
By the time a plane's adopted,

C      G          C
It's already obsolete.

G7                         C
There's no factory profit, brothers,

F      C             G
And we have to do or die.

C                      F
One improvement then another -

C          G               C
They'll be paid for by and by.

C                        F
Modern bombs are sure to carry

C                       G
Loads of glory, joy and thrills.

C                   F
What a privilege to bury

C       G              C
All the dead our money kills!

G7                     C
Never mind the widow's weeping;

F             C        G
Disregard the orphan's cry.

C                           F
When God wakes the dead and sleeping,

C          G               C
They'll be paid for by and by.
