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