         Bm                                         G
 I'd be chilling, listening to Dylan, holding up a peace sign
                  D                 A
 And if I was a prison, I wanna be Folsom
                Bm
 Johnny Cash be rocking that black
                             G
 Singing to the stripes and kicking out all the lights

  Bm                                       G
 American made with a white rag top on a blue sky kind of day
                  D                  A
 And if I was a preacher, I wanna be Dr. King
       Bm                                       G
