                               When I'm President
                               ==================

The intro for this song goes something like this:

                                                I'm much  older now...


The A5 is held for four measures while Gary sings, then Nuno plays:

A--2-----------------4-4---|--2-----------------5-5-----|--0---------|

                                                You can  be anything...


A5 again held for four measures, then:

Bridge: (play 2X)

A-----2---2-2--2--2-|-----0---0-0--0--0---|
E--3--0---0-0--0--0-|---------------------|


I think the chorus is something like:

Anyway, that's the basic theme of the song.
