Do you know about the government?
C F C
Can you tell me about the Constitution?
F G C
Hey, learn about the U.S.A.
[Verse 1]
C
In 1787 I'm told
F C
Our founding fathers did agree
C
To write a list of principles
D G
For keepin' people free.
[Pre-Chorus]
C
The U.S.A. was just startin' out.
F C
A whole brand-new country.
C
And so our people spelled it out
G C
The things that we should be.
[Talky-Bit 1]
C C
And they put those principles down on paper
F C
and called it the Constitution, and it's been
C
helping us run our country ever since then.
G
The first part of the Constitution is called the
C F
preamble and tells what those founding
C G
fathers set out to do.
[Chorus]
C
We the people,
F
In order to form a more perfect union,
C G
Establish justice, insure domestic tranquility,
C
Provide for the common defense,
F
Promote the general welfare and
C
Secure the blessings of liberty
G G7
To ourselves and our posterity
C F G
Do ordain and establish this Constitution for
F G C
the United States of America.
[Verse 2]
C
In 1787 I'm told
F C
Our founding fathers all sat down
C
And wrote a list of principles
D G
That's known the world around.
[Pre-Chorus]
C
The U.S.A. was just starting out
F C
A whole brand-new country.
C
And so our people spelled it out
G C
They wanted a land of liberty.
[Talky Bit 2]
G
And the Preamble goes like this:
[Chorus]
C
We the people,

In order to form a more perfect union,

To ourselves and our posterity
