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