Steve Earle Christmas In Washington written by Steve Earle
Eb
It's Christmas time in Washington
Ab
The Democrats rehearsed
Bb
Getting into gear for four more years
Ab Eb
Things not getting worse
Eb
Republicans drink whiskey neat
Ab
And thank their lucky stars
Bb
Said he cannot seek another term
Ab Eb
They'll be no more FDRs
Eb
I sat home in Tennessee
Ab
Just Staring at the screen
Bb
An un-easy feeling in my chest
Ab Eb
And I'm wondering what it means
Eb
So come back Woody Guthrie
Ab
Come back to us now
Bb
Tear your eyes from paradise
Ab Eb
And rise again some how
Eb
If you run into Jesus
Ab
Maybe he can help you out
Bb Ab Bb Eb
Come back Woody Guthrie to us now
instrumental
Eb
I Followed in your footsteps once
Ab
Back in my travel days
Bb
Somewhere I failed to find your trail
Ab Eb
Now I'm stumblin' through the haze
But there's killers on the highway
Ab
And man can't get around
Bb
So I sold my soul for wheels that roll
Ab Eb
And I'm stuck here in this town
Eb
So come back Woody Guthrie
Ab
Come back to us now
Bb
tear your eyes from paradise
Ab Eb
And rise again some how
Eb
If you run into Jesus
Ab
Maybe he can help us out
Bb Ab Bb Eb
Come back Woody Guthrie to us now
Eb
There's foxes in the hen house
Ab
Cows out in the corn
Bb
The Unions have been busted
Ab Eb
The proud red banners torn
Eb
To you listen to the radio
Ab
You'd think it all was real
Bb
But you and me and Cisco know
Ab Bb Eb
It's going straight to hell
Eb
So come back Emma Goldman
Ab
Rise up old Joe Hill
Bb
The barracades are going up
Ab Eb
They cannot break our will
Eb
Come back to us Malcolm X
Ab
And Martin Luther King
Bb
We're marching into Selma
Ab Bb Eb
As the bells of freedom ring
Eb
So come back Woody Guthrie
Ab
Come back to us now
Bb
Ttear your eyes from paradise
Ab Bb Eb
And rise again some how
