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 E
Oh I wish I, I could describe
D
The terror in that 20 mile ride.
G E
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
E
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 E
My suffering was terrible.
D D D
But my greatest pain was over you.
