[Verse 1]

The people made you the president. You get your power from our consent.

No one likes high crimes and misdemeanors
Em A7 Gm7b5/Eb D7 G
Your tiny hands will scratch and claw, but nobody’s above the law.
[Verse 2]

Andrew Johnson and Clinton too.

Congress did what they had to do.

But nobody’s above the law
[Bridge]
Am Bm C D
They vote on the articles in the house of representatives, simple majority
G Gmaj7
decides if you’re impeached.
Am Bm C
Then there's a trial in the senate in which they consider the charges,
D
and vote to remove you from
Eb F Gm
office and if they get two thirds, then it’s done
Gm Cm Am7b5 D7
And you're gone and you'll never hold office again!
D7
So, maybe that’s why:
[Verse 3]

You don’t keep slush funds, you don’t tell lies.
Am G/B C
History knows what you’ve done.
[Chorus 3]

Republicans, democrats, inbetweeners

Tired of your high crimes and misdemeanors
Em A7
Founders and the framers foresaw,
Gm7b5/Eb D7 G E7
But nobody’s above the law
[Outro]
Gm7b5/Eb D7 G E7
Nobody’s above the law, even you
Gm7b5/Eb D7
Nobody’s above
G
The law.
