A
If you utter a sound or make a move, we'll kill you
A
Then they gathered around me
D
One man took my right arm
A
And another man took my left
E
When the third man grabbed the front of my coat
A
Then thrown in to an automobile we go
Chorus:
D B
Oh I wish I, I could describe
A
The terror in that 20 mile ride.
D B
Oh I wish I, I could describe
A
The terror in the beautiful California moonlight
A
In an auto with six man and a chauffeur
A
Yeah these Christian patriots
D
They put fingers in my eyes and nose
A
As they subjected me to torture
E
Yeah the torture that a god fearing man
A
Is capable of conceiving.
Chorus.
Bridge:
A
You won't kiss the American flag
D
Well by god we'll make you
B
We'll ram it down your throat
A
Sing the Star Spangled Banner with feeling
A
They put their autos together
A
So the lamp set a sickly stage light
D
Fourteen defenders of this country
A
All commanding me to undress
E
They poured tar over my body and hair
A
In the absence of feathers they rubbed sagebrush instead
Chorus.
Outtro:
D B
My suffering was terrible.
A A A
But my greatest pain was over you.
