Verse 1
(G major) (A major)
(E minor)
Well, an eagle flew high
above Richard (G major) Table
Over Marvin (E minor) Helper's place
As Air Force One flew President Clinton
To Ellsworth Air Force Base
He brought (A major) with him from Wash (D major) ington
A (A major) bag filled with dreams and cake
To (E minor) spread among the poor
in the poorest county
In the whole United States
One (B minor) mile long of big black cars
And whirlybirds did a jig
As they moved (E minor) across the prairie
To the plan (A major) et of fine (E minor) dreams
Where the (A major) FBI and the (D major) CIA,
the (A major) AIM, the (D major) BIA, the (A major) IRS, and G .O .D.
All had their eyes set on the master (E minor) plan.
But it all (B minor) turned out to be
just (A major) another shattered dream.
In a broken promised land (E minor)
(G major) (A major) (E minor) (G major) (A major) (E minor)
The President said to the people
We know the (G major) failings of the past
You've been pat (A major) ronized, tyrannized
But help is here at last (E minor)
Our nation, she is mighty
These are good (G minor) (G major) and (G minor) prosperous (G major) times
I (A major) offer you an America
where no one is left (D major) be hind (E minor)
Your (D major) courage leads to com (E minor) merce,
prosper (D major) ity and loans (E minor)
I see housing (D major) for the home (E minor) less
Cause every (G major) body need (A major) s a home (E minor)
Majestic (A major) people (B minor) love
a place like you
Deserve security
As founder (A major) s of our country
You've already paid for the land
of the free (E minor) (G major) (A major) (E minor)
We're the (A major) FBI and the CIA (D major)
The (A major) AIM, the (D major) BI (A major) A, the IRS, and G .O .D.
All have their eyes set on the (D major) master (E minor) plan
But it all (B minor) turned out to be
Just (A major) another shattered dream
In a broken promised land (E minor) (G major) (A major) (E minor)
(G major) (A major) (E minor) (G major) (A major) (E minor)
(G major) (A major) (E minor)
So (C major) (A major) (E minor) (C major) (A major)
(G major) (E minor) (C major) (A major) (E minor) (C major) (E minor)
(A major) (E minor) (C major) (A major) (E minor) (Esus4) (C major) (B minor)
(A major)
Well, the pray (E minor) ers on the wrist
hold some (G major) powerful words
of how nat (E minor) ive lives should be
He watered the spirits of the people
The crop came up dust and weeds
And in the (A major) distance of the har (D major) vest
The (A major) only thing that changed
Was (D major) the (E minor) color of the leaves
on the hawthorn trees
The rest is still the same
In Ju (B minor) ly of 1999
The president went door -to -door
Staring (E minor) down the barrel
of the cold hard truth
On his American poverty tour
Pine (A major) (B minor) Ridge, South Dakota
Was to be empowered on command
But it all (A major) turned out to be
Just another shattered dream
In a broken prom (E minor) ised land (G major) (A major) (E minor) (G major) (A major) (B flatdim) (D major) (E minor)
(G major) (A major) (E minor) (D major) (E minor) (B minor) (E minor) (G major) (A major)
(E minor) (A major) (E minor) (A major) (E minor) (A major) (D major)
So (A major) (D major) (A major) (D major) (E minor) (A major) (E minor) (A major) (E minor)
(A major) (E minor) (D major) (A major) (D major) (A major) (D major) (A major) (E minor)
