Capo 3rd fet for Oval Room album
Capo 2nd fret to play along with the video that is on Youtube.

There are only two chords, but the fingerpicking is trickey and his Am uses pull-offs 
and hammer-ons to Am7, etc.


Am           Am7       Am           Am7
In his oval room, in his rockin' chair

           E7                    Am (there's an Asus2 in there as well)
He's the president, but I don't care
He's a business man, he got business ties
He got dollar signs in both his eyes
Got a big airplane, take him everywhere
Got his limousine, when he get there
Everywhere he goes, make the people mad
Makes the poor man beg, and the rich man glad


Am7            Am     Am7        Am
He's the president, but I don't care

      E
Ooh, Ooooooh, Ooh

At the factory, never been so slow
Got a big fourth down, ninety nine to go
And down on the farm, nothing growing there
But the debts they owe and their gray hair
In the desert sand, and the jungle deep
He thinks everything is his to keep
He's a real cowboy, with his makeup on
Talks to kings and queens on the telephone

He's the president, but I don't care
Ooh, Oooooh, Ooh

He's a movie star, if you stay up late
And he'll search your car, if you don't look straight
In his Oval Room, in his rockin' chair
He's the president, but I don't care

He's the president, but I don't care
Ooh, Oooooh, Ooh

He's the president, but I don't care
Ooh, Oooooh, Ooh
