[Verse 1]
G                    F
Some folks are born, made to wave the flag
C                         G
Ooh, they're red white and blue
G                       F
And when the band plays hail to the chief
C                             G
Ooh, they point the cannons at you, y'all
[Chorus]
G            D             C                       G
It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no senator's son y'all
G                D                C                     G
It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no fortunate one, no
[Verse 2]
 G                         F
Some folks are born, silver spoon in hand
   C                        G
Lord, don't they help themselves, y'all
G                         F
But when the tax man comes to the door
C                                           G
Lord, the house looks like a rummage sale, yeah
[Chorus]
G            D              C                       G
It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no millionaire's son, no
G                D                 C                      G
It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no fortunate one, no

[Verse 3]
G                    F
Some folks inherit star spangled eyes
C                         G
Ooh, they send you down to war, Lord
G                        F
And when you ask 'em "How much should we give?"
C                        G
They only answer "More! More! More!", yoh
[Chorus]
G            D             C                 G
It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no military son, son
G                D               C                     G
It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no fortunate one, no
G            D             C                  G
It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no fortunate one, no no no
G                 D              C            G
It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no fortunate son, no no no
