Song: The President Song
By: Cross Canadian Ragweed
Album: Live and Loud At The Wormy Dog Saloon 
Tabbed By: Jared Nunnally "nunzbomb at hotmail.com" or "nunnally at nsuok.edu"


Note: I recently attended a CCR concert and Cody refused to play
      this song.  He said it was because he wrote it while 
      Clinton was in office.  He thinks Bush is doing a damn fine
      job.
