Follow The Leader
Written by: Carina Bolaños
[Intro]
G C Em F Am
[Verse]
G
They looked upon the children
C
They saw my ambition
F
All they did was knock me down
Am
Just didn’t want to hear my sound
G
And… They told me one thing
C
I won’t forget
Em
Not for nothin’
[Bridge]
F
They said that I should follow the leader
Am
Just go follow the leader
Where are they now
C
They’re under the ground
Because they followed the leader
Am
They just followed the leader
G
Without a thought
C
That’s what they were taught
F
To just go follow the leader
Am
Go on and follow the leader
G
That’s all you’re good for
C
I don’t want to hear you anymore
F
Go and follow the leader
Am
Follow the leader
G
This is not your place
C
Get out of my face
[Chorus]
F
No I won’t follow no leader
Am
I won’t follow the leader
G
I’m who I am
C
I won’t be no one’s lamb
F
I won’t follow the leader
Am
I won’t follow the leader
G
I am me
C
I’m who I want to be
F
So don’t follow the leader
Am
Don’t follow no leaders
G
Be who you are
C
Be your own star
[Pre-Chorus]
Em
They tried to scare me
F
That’s all they could do
Em
To try and make me think
F
Like they did too
G
But it didn’t work
Em
Because I knew
[Chorus]
F
I wouldn’t follow no leaders
Am
Why would I follow a leader
G
I’m who I am
C
I won’t be no one’s lamb
F
I won’t follow the leader
Am
I won’t follow the leader
G
I am me
C
That’s who I want to be
F
So don’t follow the leader
Am
Just don’t follow the leader
G
Be who you are
C
Be your own star
[Verse]
F
They said I was crazy
Am
But it didn’t phase me
G C
Because I……... wasn’t going to follow a leader
F
Why would I follow a leader
[Bridge]
Am
They wanted to stop me
G
Were full of envy
C Em
But now I’m free
[Outro]
F
So I won’t follow the leader
Am
I’ll never need a leader
G
I’ll be who I am
C
Won’t be a lamb
F
Don’t you dare follow the leader
Am
Don’t you follow the leader
G
Be how you are
C
Be your own star
