Eb
It's  Christmas time in Washington
     Ab
The  Democrats rehearsed
B
Getting into gear for four more years
Ab                 Eb
Things not getting worse
Eb
Republicans drink whiskey neat
    Ab
And thank their lucky stars
        B
Said he cannot seek another term
           Ab          Eb
They'll be no more F.D.R.`s
Eb
I sat home in Tennessee
     Ab
Just Staring at the screen
An un-easy feeling in my chest
        Ab                Eb
And I'm wondering what it means
   Eb
So come back Woody Guthrie
Ab
Come back to us now

B
Tear your eyes from paradise
    Ab              Eb
And rise again some how
   Eb
If you run into Jesus
      Ab
Maybe he can help you  out
B                   Ab B     Eb
Come back Woody Guthrie to us  now

Eb
I Followed in your footsteps once
     Ab
Back in my travel days
B
Somewhere I failed to find your trail
        Ab                    Eb
Now I'm stumblin' through the haze
But there's killers on the highway
    Ab
And man can't get around
     B
So I sold my soul for wheels that roll
        Ab                 Eb
And I'm stuck here in this town
   Eb
So come back Woody Guthrie
Ab
Come back to us now

B
Tear your eyes from paradise
    Ab              Eb
And rise again some how
   Eb
If you run into Jesus
      Ab
Maybe he can help us  out
B                   Ab B     Eb
Come back Woody Guthrie to us  now

Eb
There's foxes in the hen house
Ab
Cows out in the corn
    B
The Unions have been busted
    Ab                Eb
The proud red banners torn
Eb
To you listen to the radio
      Ab
You'd think it all was real
    B
But you and me and Cisco know
     Ab        B      Eb
It's going straight to hell
Eb
So come back Emma Goldman
Ab
Rise up old Joe Hill

The barricades are going up
     Ab               Eb
They cannot break our will
Eb
Come back to us Malcolm X
    Ab
And Martin Luther King
B
We're marching into Selma
       Ab       B
As the bells of freedom Ebring
   Eb
So come back Woody Guthrie
Ab

Tear your eyes from paradise
    Ab     B      Eb
And rise again somehow
