Howdy, folks. I ain't no cowboy and I ain't no gee-tar player neither, but I reckon I done writ this here song about one o' the Wests greatest zeroes.
Em G Am Em
From Arizona's painted desert,
a-way out in the west,
He rode in on an flea-bit horse
he called Straight Talk Express
Some said the he was washed-up,
That he'd fought his final fight
And he was there to prove that they
Were absolutely right.

Am Em Am Em
McCain- John McCain
Yes, John McCain is comin'
and he's here to do some harm,
He'd be the fastest gunner
If he could only raise his arms
McCain- John McCain
Em G Am Em
He swaggered into the big saloon
On the main street in Wasilla,
Everybody stopped and stared
They thought he was a killer.
But as soon as they all realized
The old man's was a sap,
The cowboys all ignored him
When he asked to play some craps.
Am Em Am Em
McCain- John McCain
Yes, John McCain is comin'
and he's here to do some harm,
He'd be the fastest gunner
If he could only raise his arms
McCain- John McCain
Em G Am Em
It was there that he met Sarah
She caught him unawares
She was oh-so Pretty,
But there wasn't much upstairs,
They knew that they were soul-mates
And together, off they ran
Hell-bent for the White House
Without much of a plan
Am Em Am Em
McCain- John McCain
Yes, John McCain is comin'
and he's here to do some harm,
He'd be the fastest gunner
If he could only raise his arms
McCain- John McCain
Em G Am Em
He had heard talk of a big man,
Who knew how to play the game
By the name Barack Obama,
But John called him Hussein.
Now Johnny, he and Sarah
Were gunning for a fight,
But they had no idea what they
Were risking on that night.
Am Em Am Em
McCain- John McCain
Yes, John McCain is comin'
and he's here to do some harm,
He'd be the fastest gunner
If he could only raise his arms
McCain- John McCain

Obama had a partner,
Went by the name of Joe
And unlike Sarah Palin,
He was always in the know.
And when McCain rode into town
Joe went to his good friend,
Said, Barack, it's time to act
Let's make this whole thing end.
Am Em Am Em
McCain- John McCain
Yes, John McCain is comin'
and he's here to do some harm,
He'd be the fastest gunner
If he could only raise his arms
McCain- John McCain
Em G Am Em
The rivals met at moonrise,
In the middle of main street
But even Joe the Plumber knew
that John McCain was beat.
And before the sad, cranky old man
Could even raise his gun,
He had lost all the swing states-
And Obama, he had won.
Am Em Am Em
McCain- John McCain
Yes, John McCain is comin'
and he's here to do some harm,
He'd be the fastest gunner
If he could only raise his arms
McCain- John McCain
Em G Am Em
They say McCain is gone now,
He rode off into the West.
He knew he hadn't done his worst,
But he hadn't done his best.
And of poor Sarah Palin?
She's still standing on Main
She's not too bright and so she thinks
That she can run again.
Am Em Am Em
Palin- Sarah Palin
Yes Sarah Palin's comin'
But she won't do any harm
Because you don't win elections
Just by turning on the charm
Palin- Sarah Palin
