"Losing My Election,"  by Steve Barr
(to the tune of R.E.M.'s "Losing My Religion")
(Chords added by Kevin Metcalf)

Intro: Dm Am Dm G
Am                  Em                         Am
US is bigger.  It's bigger than you.  And I am V.P.
                        Em                             Am
The lengths that I will go to.  The concession Tuesday night.
Em                  Dm               G
Oh no I've said too much.  I took it back.

Chorus 1:
                 Am                       Em
That's me in the paper.  That's me in the spotlight.
          Am                   Em                     Am
Losing my election.  Trying to catch up to you. And I don't know if I can do it.
Em                  Dm                   G
Oh no I've said too much.  I haven't won enough.

Chorus 2:
                       F
I thought that I heard Dick Cheney
                           Am   (Am/B - Am/C -Am/E)
I thought that I heard you won
  F                 Dm       Am
I think I thought I ought to sigh

Every voter.  Of every FL county I'm.  Choosing litigation.
Trying to get ahead of you.  Like a hurt lost and blinded pol.
Oh no they've punched two holes.  It burns me up.
Consider this.  Consider this the turn of the century.
Consider this.  The count that brought me to my knees failed.
What if all my vote tallies come tumbling down.
Now I've said too much.
(Chorus 2)

    Am                      C                 G
Bet this is Nader's dream.  We needed all the Greens.
(Chorus 1)
