Fortunate Son
Creedence Clearwater

OPENING LICK TWICE

G                   F
Some folks are born made to wave the flag,
C                        G
Ooh, that red, white and blue
G                        F
And when the band plays "hail to the chief",
C                             G
Ooh, they point the cannon at you, lord!

G            D            C                    G
It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no senator's son, son
G            D            C                    G
It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no fortunate one, no
 
G                   F
Some folks are born silver spoon in hand,
C7                        G
Lord, don't they help themselves, oh
G                   F
But when the taxman comes to the door,
C7                                     G
Lord, the house lookin' like a rummage sale, yeah

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

BRIDGE LICK TWICE

BREAK ON VERSE AND CHORUS

G                  F
Some folks inherit star spangled eyes,
C7                             G
Ooh, and they send you down to war, lord
G                       F
And when you ask them, "how much should we give?"
C7                      G     G     G     G
Ooh, the only answer is more! more! more! yeah!
 
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, one
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 son, son
