            "Love Me, I'm a Liberal"
Artist: Phil Ochs
Album: There But for Fortune (Compilation)

  E               A           E     A
I cried when they shot Medgar Evers
E                   C#m
Tears ran down my spine
   E              A          E 
I cried when they shot Mr. Kennedy
               F#7             B7
As though I'd lost a father of mine
     E        A              E
But Malcolm X got what was coming
   G#m                        A
He got what he asked for this time
   E        C#m      A        B7    E
So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal

  E     A            E     A
I go to civil rights rallies
      E                C#m
And I put down the old D.A.R.
       E         A          E 
I love Harry and Sidney and Sammy
             F#7                   B7
I hope every colored boy becomes a star
    E          A          E
But don't talk about revolution
       G#m                    A
That's going a little bit too far
   E        C#m      A        B7    E
So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal

   E           A            E     A
I cheered when Humphrey was chosen
   E                   C#m
My faith in the system restored
    E        A            E 
I'm glad the commies were thrown out
       F#7           B7
Of the A.F.L. C.I.O. board
  E           A          E
I love Puerto Ricans and Negros
   G#m                          A
As long as they don't move next door
   E        C#m      A        B7    E
So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal

    E         A          E   A
The people of old Mississippi
       E                       C#m
Should all hang their heads in shame
  E          A               E 
I can't understand how their minds work
           F#7                         B7
What's the matter don't they watch Les Crane?
           E         A      E
But if you ask me to bus my children
  G#m                          A
I hope the cops take down your name
   E        C#m      A        B7    E
So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal

  E          A          E     A
I read New Republic and Nation
     E                     C#m
I've learned to take every view
    E                    A          E 
You know, I've memorized Lerner and Golden
  F#7                    B7
I feel like I'm almost a Jew
            E        A            E
But when it comes to times like korea
        G#m                        A
There's no one more red, white and blue
   E        C#m      A        B7    E
So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal

  E            A           E     A
I vote for the democtratic party
     E                   C#m
They want the U.N. to be strong
  E             A           E 
I go to all the Pete Seeger concerts
   F#7                        B7
He sure gets me singing those songs
     E            A         E
I'll send all the money you ask for
          G#m               A
But don't ask me to come on along
   E        C#m      A        B7    E
So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal

     E     A           E      A
Once I was young and impulsive
       E                 C#m
I wore every conceivable pin
     E           A         E 
Even went to the socialist meetings
        F#7               B7
Learned all the old union hymns
    E          A         E
But I've grown older and wiser
           G#m                 A
And that's why I'm turning you in
   E        C#m      A        B7    E
So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal
