Verse
B E B
Oh, I'm weary and I'm harried and I don't know what to do,

My antennae can't see any way to win.
E B
I'm the people's best policeman, here to guard them while I fleece them,

But their sleeping habits aren't really fair.
B B7 E F#7 B
And I recently have found that the world is really round and the little men are movin' everywhere.
[Chorus]
E
Leave us alone,
B
Leave us alone,
E F#7
Just find yourself a country of your own,
B B7
Lick my boots and kiss my hand

And I might not bomb your land,

Go to sleep and stop your mischief, little man.

He got some ammunition and he crushed his opposition,
E F#7
He was bloody, but he wasn't very sharp,

So we issued him a halo and a harp.

Leave us alone,

Just find yourself a country of your own,

Lick my boots and kiss my hand

[Verse 3]
B E B
Then the generals took over and took over and took over,
F#7
There were coups and counter-coups most every week.
B E
But we honored our commitment, why we never missed a shipment,
B F#7 B
If we had, they would have sold us up a creek.
E B
But the "Viet Cong" surprised us, they almost terrorized us,

Did you know their average age is seventeen?
B B7 E
We get poison arrow treatments from those juvenile delinquents,
F#7 B
They're the only thing more deadly than Marines.

Leave us alone,
B
Leave us alone,

Just find yourself a country of your own,

[Verse 4]
B E B
We're losin' badly on the ground, so we go to the air,
F#7
And we drop a couple thousand bombs a day.

Oh, how I wish the Reds would go away!

In Saigon we want a friend; let me see, who shall we send?

Leave us alone,
E F#7
Just find yourself a country of your own,

And I might not bomb your land,

Go to sleep and stop your mischief, little man.
[Verse 5]
B E B
Now I see them in the cities and the mountains and the plains,
F#7
By coincidence, they're everywhere I roam.
B E
In the hotel elevators I'm beset by demonstrators
B F#7 B
And I hear the people shoutin' "Bring G#m Home!"
E B
They're invading Air Force bases and stirring up the races,
E F#7
And yelling nasty things at L.B.J.
B B7 E
Yes, the enemy is near; what's that splashing sound I hear?
F#7 B
I see sampans out in San Francisco Bay.
[Chorus]
E
Leave us alone,
B
Leave us alone,
E F#7
Just find yourself a country of your own,

Lick my boots and kiss my hand

And I might not bomb your land,

And don't invade the little land where you were born.

Leave us alone,

Leave us alone,
E F#7
Just find yourself a country of your own,
B B7
Lick my boots and kiss my hand
E
And I might not bomb your land,
F#7 B
Go to sleep and stop your mischief, little man.
