I decided to teach this song because it's the 4th of July weekend here in the USA and this song was the first one that came to mind. CCR is a great classic rock band and this song is still great. My theory is, once a great song, always a great song!

In this lesson I break down the main intro riff note for note as well as the chord progression and the strumming patterns.

Here are your chords for this song. If you like this lesson please consider liking and subscribing! I hope you love the lessons.

Verse 1

G F
Some folks are born, made to wave the flag
C G
Ooh, they're red white and blue
G F
And when the band plays hail to the chief
C G
Ooh, they point the cannons at you, y'all


Chorus

G D C G
It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no senator's son y'all
G D C G
It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no fortunate one, no


Verse 2

G F
Some folks are born, silver spoon in hand
C G
Lord, don't they help themselves, y'all
G F
But when the tax man comes to the door
C G
Lord, the house looks like a rummage sale, yeah


Chorus

G D C G
It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no millionaire's son, no
G D C G
It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no fortunate one, no

Verse 3:

G F
Some folks inherit star spangled eyes
C G
Ooh, they send you down to war, Lord
G F
And when you ask 'em "How much should we give?"
C G
They only answer "More! More! More!", yoh

Chorus

G D C G
It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no military son, son
G D C G
It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no fortunate one, no
G D C G
It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no fortunate one, no no no
G D C G
It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no fortunate son, no no no
