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