If you utter a sound or make a move, we'll kill you

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.

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.

F D

But my greatest pain was over you.
