 G                   F
Some folks are born made to wave the flag,
C7                         G
Ooh, that red, white and blue
G                         F
And when the band plays "hail to the chief",
C7                             G
Ooh, they point the cannon at you, lord!

Chorus:
G           D            C
It ain't me, it ain't me,
                      G
I ain't no senator's son, son
G           D            C
It ain't me, it ain't me,
                     G
I ain't no fortunate one, no

Some folks are born silver spoon in hand
Lord, don't they help themselves, no
But when the taxman come' to the door
Lord, the house lookin' like a rummage sale, yeah

Chorus:
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no millionaire's son, no no
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no fortunate one, no

Yeah, some folks inherit star-spangled eyes
Ooh, they send you down to war, Lord
And when you ask 'em, "How much should we give?"
Ooh, they only answer, "More, more, more, more!"

Chorus:
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no military son, son, Lord
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no fortunate one, one

It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no fortunate one, no no no
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no fortunate son, no no no
It ain’t me…
