A
let’s have christ our president
A E7 A
let us have him for our king
A
cast your vote for the carpenter
A E7 A
that they call the nazarene

A
the only way
A
we can ever beat
A E7 A
the crooked politician men
A
is to cast the money – changers
A
out of the temple
A E7 A
put the carpenter in

A
oh it’s jesus christ our president
A E7 A
god above our king
A
with a job and pension for young and old
A E7 A
we will make hallelujah ring

( E7 ) ( A ) ( E7 ) ( A ) ( you can do that for as long as
you want . )
A

every year we waste enough
A E7 A
to feed the ones who starve
A
we build our civilization up
A E7 A
and we shoot it down with wars

A E7
but with the carpenter
A E7
on the seat
A E7 A A E7
away up in the capital town
A E7
the usa
A E7
would be on the way
A E7 A E7 A E7 A E7
prosperity bound
E7 A
