[Intro]
D  Bm  A  G
D  Bm  A  G  Gm
[Verse 1]
DWalking aBmround, I've got Ano one to Gtalk to
DThere's everBmyone, and theAn there's jGust me
DIf I could Bmchange, don't you Athink that I'd Gdo it
DGod only Bmknows why he cAursed me to Gbe
a Gmstraight white man
[Bridge]
BmI state my problems
other F#people roll their Geyes
BmThree trips to the mall
and zero F#khakis in mGy size
BmI've never been the victim
of a rF#andom search for Gdrugs
But Dyou can't say my lBmife is easy
uGntil you've walked a Amile in my DUGGs
[Chorus]
GStraight Awhite Dman, I know the rGoad looks tAough aheDad
F#The women want rights
The Bmgays want kGids
GmCan't you just leave us alone?
And also, no, to the things you asked for
D  Bm  A  G
D  Bm  A  G  Gm
[Verse 2]
DEveryone thBminks that I've Agot it eGasy
DJust 'cause it's Bmtrue, doesn't Amean that it's Gright
DSo pull up a cBmhair, and Aput down your pGitchfork
DGive me a cBmhance to show you Awhat it's lGike
to be a Gmstraight white man
[Bridge 2]
BmThe churches never made me
Feel F#ashamed of who GI am
BmBut I get e-mails from Zappos
that g-mail F#doesn't mark as Gspam
BmMy country's Constitution was
hand-F#written by my Grace
But my wDife bought me the Bmbrand new iPhone
Gwith an AiPod Touch's Dcase (it doesn't fit that phone)
[Chorus]
GStraight Awhite Dman, I know the Groad looks Atough ahDead
F#The women want rights
The Bmblacks want Gnot to be called the blacks

[Chorus]
GStraight Awhite Dman, I know the rGoad looks tAough aDhead
The F#women want rights
The ABmfrican-Ameri-Git doesn't work for the rhythm of this song
We Gmused to have all the money and land
We still do but it's not as fun now

NO CAPO

[Intro]

D Bm A G

D Bm A G Gm

[Verse 1]

D Bm A G

Walking around, I've got no one to talk to

D Bm A G

There's everyone, and then there's just me

D Bm A G

If I could change, don't you think that I'd do it

D Bm A G

God only knows why he cursed me to be

a straight white man

[Bridge]

I state my problems

F# G

other people roll their eyes

Three trips to the mall

F# G

and zero khakis in my size

I've never been the victim

F# G

of a random search for drugs

D Bm

But you can't say my life is easy

G A D

until you've walked a mile in my UGGs

[Chorus]

G A D G A D

Straight white man, I know the road looks tough ahead

The women want rights

Bm G

The gays want kids

Can't you just leave us alone?

And also, no, to the things you asked for

D Bm A G

D Bm A G Gm

[Verse 2]

D Bm A G

Everyone thinks that I've got it easy

D Bm A G

Just 'cause it's true, doesn't mean that it's right

D Bm A G

So pull up a chair, and put down your pitchfork

D Bm A G

Give me a chance to show you what it's like

to be a straight white man

[Bridge 2]

The churches never made me

F# G

Feel ashamed of who I am

But I get e-mails from Zappos

F# G

that g-mail doesn't mark as spam

My country's Constitution was

F# G

hand-written by my race

D Bm

But my wife bought me the brand new iPhone

G A D

with an iPod Touch's case (it doesn't fit that phone)

[Chorus]

G A D G A D

Straight white man, I know the road looks tough ahead

The women want rights

Bm G

The blacks want not to be called the blacks

Can't you just leave us alone?

And also, no, to the things you asked for

Nooooooo

G F# Bm

(x6)

[Chorus]

G A D G A D

Straight white man, I know the road looks tough ahead

The women want rights

Bm G

The African-Ameri-it doesn't work for the rhythm of this song

We used to have all the money and land

We still do but it's not as fun now
