Verse 1
G 
D 
G 
If I  had any doubts,
C 
now they're gone completely
G 
Em 
A 
D 
I  am living in true democracy
G 
If I had any doubts,
C 
now they're gone completely
G 
Em 
A 
Our nation stands for
Am 
D 
G 
true democracy
B 
E 
I'm referring to that most
Am 
A 
regrettable disaster
D 
To a corporal,
G 
we lost our acting Prime Minister
B 
E 
He complained to the Commission
Am 
D 
And made them kick out Poe Solomon
G 
B 
Em 
Where in the world you
Am 
D 
G 
could find democracy so?
Em 
Am 
C 
D 
Except in Trinidad  and  Tobago
G 
If was in America,
B 
Em 
C 
D 
Am 
A 
it's the corporal that had to go
D 
C 
In the first place a man
Cm 
like he couldn't see
G 
B 
The commission of inquiry
E 
A 
don't care how he try
They'll charge him as a spy
Am 
D 
G 
and tell the public he lie
D 
G 
Oh, well, the good things you do,
C 
G 
you never get credit
Em 
A 
Am 
D 
But make one mistake, nobody forget it
G 
I agree he was wrong
C 
without any doubt
G 
Em 
A 
Canceling the charge,
Am 
D 
G 
letting the boy out
B 
E 
But the way how some of
Am 
these people criticizing
A 
D 
You will think Solomon
G 
shouldn't have human feeling
B 
E 
Just because he in politics,
Am 
he must leave his stepson like Kodokan
A 
D 
G 
B 
in a cell to get killed with licks
Em 
C 
D 
Some people say he took old fish
G 
Em 
C 
and out of place
D 
G 
B 
Some of them vex because they hear
Em 
A 
D 
Am 
A 
D 
he slap the doctor in his face
C 
But I  say Pat Solomon
Cm 
G 
B 
E 
is still a damn good politician
A 
He only made a slip,
they throw him out with a kick
Am 
This place too damn
D 
G 
democratic
D 
G 
C 
Plenty people used to criticize the PNM,
G 
A 
but the way things turn out
Am 
D 
is a   shock to them.
G 
They used to say that the
C 
G 
doctor is a  dictator.
Em 
E 
Am 
Some went as far as to
D 
G 
call him a traitor,
B 
E 
but now it can be seen even
Am 
A 
by a blind man.
D 
G 
What side of the fence the PNM stand,
B 
E 
I am sure now they all agree,
Am 
D 
PNM stands for
G 
B 
True democracy.
Em 
In America,
C 
D 
sunshine boy could be president
G 
Em 
Am 
C 
D 
G 
for a million
B 
year tomorrow
Em 
D 
Am 
and today ain't got a black scent.
A 
D 
C 
For op portunity, America ain't bad.
Cm 
For democracy,
G 
B 
E 
I like Trinidad.
A 
Because the police force gets snubbed,
a corporal push a knob,
Am 
D 
G 
and the minister lost a good job.
D 
G 
C 
In most other places, it ain't so at all.
G 
Em 
E 
They'll promote Solomon
Am 
D 
and kick the corporal.
G 
Although democracy is what they
C 
G 
go out and teach,
Em 
A 
you'll never see them practice
D 
G 
what you hear them preach.
B 
E 
But the first thing we gave
Am 
Solomon was a headline.
A 
D 
Opposition commission
G 
and the corporal in the tail begun to resign.
B 
E 
really sympathize with he,
Am 
C 
Am 
but I still say wrong
D 
G 
for setting the boy free.
B 
Em 
mind you, it is true our nation
Am 
D 
needs strong men like
G 
Em 
C 
Solomon.
D 
G 
B 
Yeah, but no one is allowed
Em 
A 
D 
Am 
to take the law in their hand.
A 
D 
C 
Okay, drop the charge if you see it fit,
Cm 
G 
but it  ain't what you do,
B 
it's how you do it.
E 
A 
Solomon acted like a lord,
trying to spare the rod,
Am 
D 
G 
Em 
and now he die by the sword.
