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

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

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

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

Rise up old Joe Hill

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
