From: GUEST,GUEST Date: 06 Dec 07 - 08:51 PM There are more verses to this as well Now the guns in Europe roar as they have so oft before And the war lords play the same old game again They butcher and they kill, Uncle Sam foots the bill With his own dear children standing in the rain |

Subject: Lyr Add: WHY DO YOU STAND THERE IN THE RAIN? From: Shaneo Date: 03 Nov 07 - 07:20 AM It was raining mighty hard in that old Capitol yard B7 B7 E E When the young folks gathered at the White House gate E E A A And the president raised his head and to the young folks said, B7 B7 E E Tell me, why do you stand there in the rain A A E Why do you stand there in the rain? B7 B7 B7 B7 Why do you stand there in the rain? E E A A These are strange carryings on, on the White House Capitol lawn B7 B7 E Tell me, why do you stand there in the rain? E E A A My dear children, don't you know that unless by law you go B7 B7 E E That your journey here must all be walked in vain E E A A You gotta make your resolution by the U.S. Constitution B7 B7 E E Then you won't get left a-standing in the rain A A E Why do you stand there in the rain? B7 B7 B7 B7 Why do you stand there in the rain? E E A A These are strange carryings on, on the White House Capitol lawn B7 B7 E Tell me, why do you stand there in the rain? Well they tell me they've got lands where they will not let you stand In the rain and ask for jobs upon the lawn Thank god, in the U.S.A. you can stand there every day But I would not guarantee they'd take you on A A E Why do you stand there in the rain? B7 B7 B7 B7 Why do you stand there in the rain? E E A A These are strange carryings on, on the White House Capitol lawn B7 B7 E Tell me, why do you stand there in the rain? Then, the president's voice did ring, why this is the silliest thing I have heard in all me 55 years of life But it all just stands to reason as he passes another season He'll be smarter by the time he's 59. A A E Why do you stand there in the rain? B7 B7 B7 B7 Why do you stand there in the rain? |
