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