Cross Canadian Ragweed - The President Song guitar chord
Song: The President Song
By: Cross Canadian Ragweed
Album: Live and Loud At The Wormy Dog Saloon
Tabbed By: Jared Nunnally "nunzbomb@hotmail.com" or "nunnally@nsuok.edu"
Note: I recently attended a CCR concert and Cody refused to play
this song. He said it was because he wrote it while
Clinton was in office. He thinks Bush is doing a damn fine
job.
