th Fret 




C                     G 
Travelling across the country 
                       C 
Playing on the circuit line 
                   Am 
Sometimes I think about a man 
        D7             G7 
Who was here before my time 
F                  C 
Named for the 28th president 
       F                     G 
With a Guthrie tacked to the end 
        C      G 
Born in Okemah shoes 
         Bb        F 
With the Dust Bowl blues 
       G                     C 
He's a friend of the working man 


                      G 
Now he wasn't fond of New York buildings 
                        C 
That tried to touch the sky 
                     Am   
Or the West Virginia coal mines  
     D7           G7 
That took so many lives 
        F                          C 
For the way they drove the migrant workers 
     F           G 
Back into Mexico way 
    C            G 
The scabs they'd run 
            Bb         F 
When they'd heard he'd come 
        G                 C 
And the bosses started to pray 

               
Chorus:
