Who are the electors?
                       A  E/G# B
They're the ones who elect
                  A         E/G#
The ones that you vote for
                       B
Who will vote in your stead

                 C#7
You signal your choice
                   F#7
You give them your trust
               B7
But it's up to them
              E
And not up to us
               A       B
We're only the voters
              E       A E
They are the electors
   
   A    
In Article Two of the U.S. Constitution
    E                                              C#m
The framers spelled out how the chief executive is chosen
      F#7          A          B
They laid out the rules for elections
     A
They wanted a system that would be free from corruption
    E                                          C#m
The winner would be chosen by an unaligned delegation
   F#7       A         B       A
Without partisan affiliation

(Then just those chords again!)
They're called the electors
Because they elect
They're like our protectors
Adding one extra step

You signal your choice
You give them your trust
But it's up to them
And not up to us
We're only the voters
They are the electors

Every state gets a number of electors that's exactly the same
As the number of senators and representatives they claim
Plus three added on for D.C.

They are the electors
All five hundred and thirty-eight
They are the electors
Giving smaller states extra weight

You signal your choice
You give them your trust
But it's up to them
And not up to us
We're only the voters
They are the electors
