Standard tuning capo 7th fret.
G#
If you utter a sound or make a move, we'll kill you
G#
Then they gathered around me
C#
One man took my right arm
G#
And another man took my left
D#
When the third man grabbed the front of my coat
G#
Then thrown in to an automobile we go
Chorus:
C# A#
Oh I wish I, I could describe
G#
The terror in that 20 mile ride.
C# A#
Oh I wish I, I could describe
G#
The terror in the beautiful California moonlight
G#
In an auto with six man and a chauffeur
G#
Yeah these Christian patriots
C#
They put fingers in my eyes and nose
G#
As they subjected me to torture
D#
Yeah the torture that a god fearing man
G#
Is capable of conceiving.
Chorus.
Bridge:
G#
You won't kiss the American flag
C#
Well by god we'll make you
A#
We'll ram it down your throat
G#
Sing the Star Spangled Banner with feeling
G#
They put their autos together
G#
So the lamp set a sickly stage light
C#
Fourteen defenders of this country
G#
All commanding me to undress
D#
They poured tar over my body and hair
G#
In the absence of feathers they rubbed sagebrush instead
Chorus.
Outtro:
C# A#
My suffering was terrible.
G# G# G#
But my greatest pain was over you.
