G5                            C5
If you're going to lead my country,
G5                           C5
If you're gonna say it's free
G5         D5    
I'm gonna need
        C5
a little honesty

G5                  C5
Just a few honest words
G5                    C5
It shouldn't be that hard
G5                 D5     
Just a few honest words
   C5
Is all I need


G5                       C5
I don't need no handshake
G5                     C5
No firm look in the eye
G5                            D5
Don't tell me what you think I, 
    C5
I ought to hear


G5                      C5
I don't need no high life
G5              C5
No fancy premiers
G5                     D5  
Just tell me what you really think
C5
Without fear



G5                  C5
Just a few honest words
G5                    C5
It shouldn't be that hard
G5                 D5     
Just a few honest words
    C5
Is all I need


G5                C5
Love is a bitter food
G5                  C5
You've learned to eat
G5                    D5
You still don't know, oh, 
         C5
Where it grows


G5                    C5
And our love of freedom
G5                     C5
Holds a veil over our eyes
G5               D5
Rights that are given
       C5  
Can be taken away


G5                    C5
Just a few honest words
G5                      C5
It shouldn't be that hard
G5                 D5     
Just a few honest words
    C5
Is all I need


G5                       C5
We don't choose our leaders
G5     ( D5 )       C5        
The choose themselves
G5            D5
Tell me again
         C5
