Fortunate SonSantana

Released: October 30, 2010

Featuring: Scott Stapp

Songwriter: John Fogerty

Producer: Howard Benson

[Scott Stapp's version:]
Some folks are born, made to wave the Flag
Ooh, they're red, white and blue
And when the band plays, "Hail To The Chief"
Ooh, they point the cannon at you, Lord

It ain't me, (x2), I ain't no Senator's son, son
It ain't me, (x2), I ain't no fortunate son, no

Some folks are born, silver spoon in hand
Lord, don't they help themselves? Oh
But when the tax man comes to the door
Lord, the house look a like a rummage sale, yeah

[Chorus]
It ain't me, (x2), I ain't no Millionaire's son, no
It ain't me, (x2), I ain't no fortunate son, no

Yeah, some folks inherit Star-Spangled eyes
Ooh, they send you down to war, Lord
And when you ask them
"How much should we give?"
Ooh, they only answer, "More, more, more", more

[Chorus]
No, no, no, I ain't no fortunate son, no (x2)

...[Chorus]

Santana

Carlos Augusto Alves Santana (born July 20, 1947 in Autlán de Navarro, Jalisco) is a Mexican and American musician who became famous in the late 1960s and early 1970s with his band, Santana, which pioneered a fusion of rock and Latin American music. Carlos prefers to only play and leave lead vocals to guest singers. The band’s sound featured his melodic, blues-based guitar lines set against Latin and African rhythms featuring percussion instruments such as timbales and congas not generally heard in rock music. He experienced a resurgence of popularity and critical acclaim in the late 1990s. In 2003 Rolling Stone magazine listed Santana at number 20 on their list of the 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time. He has won ten Grammy Awards and three Latin Grammy Awards.
