Intro:  A

Verse 1:

A
All through the ages, the wise men and sages
                                      Bm
Have said there are dirty deeds that simply must be done

To keep society going and the benefits flowing
                               C#m
There's a simple necessity of hurting someone

It makes strength and agility, taking responsibility
                                    D
It's the core of what leadership's really about
                                         A
When the red blood starts coming, just think of it as plumbing
    E                                     A
If you've got a problem you must flush it out


Bridge:

             E                D
But there's no one else with guts enough
       E                     A
To be willing to kick their butts enough
        E               B7
I'm the only one quite nuts enough
      E                A
To admit it, they all hid it
          E                   D
But I'm standing right here proud
     E                 A
His head held high, unbowed
       E                 B7
I'll shout it right out loud
    E         D          A
He did it, I did it, he did it


Verse 2:

A                                Bm
Rock-a-bye, sweet baby, Mama is here
                                             C#m
Hush-a-bye, sweet angel, there's nothing to fear
                                                D
Close you eyes, sweet darling, all through the night
           A              E               A
Mama will hold you safe 'til the morning light


Verse 3:  Repeat verse 1 and verse 2 lyrics simultaneously, then:

          D                              A
When the red blood starts coming, just think of it as plumbing
         Mama              will         hold you safe

    E                                     A
If you've got a problem you must flush it out
  'Til    the         morning            light
