Verse 

         C 
I signed up to serve my country, and I mean it when I say: 
    F                                      C 
I'm proud to do my duty for the good ol' USA. 

They sent me to an island in the Caribbean sea, 
       F                                                C 
But it ain't no pearl at all, its just another place to be. 
      Am               G6         Fmaj7 
And I wonder what I'll do again tonight, 
     Am             G6              F            G 
Maybe have a couple beers and try to keep out of fights.. 
            C 
And I don't wanna bust your bubble, I don't wanna bring you down, 
   F                                       C    F  C 
But out here in GTMO, its the only game in town. 

     C  
They promised us new gear, and they promised us new boots, 
     F                                              C 
They promised in 4 months we'd be replaced by new recruits. 

I got here in January, thinking I'd be home by spring, 
        F                                               C 
Now its lookin' like I'll need to buy a Cuban christmas tree. 
Am         G6                  Fmaj7 
 Oh Santa, won't you come this way... 
Am             G6              F      G              
 Do you need directions to Guantanamo Bay? 
        C  
I don't wanna bust your bubble, I don't wanna bring you down, 
   F                                       C    F  C 
But out here in GTMO, its the only game in town. 

             C 
They got the army, navy, air force, and United States marines, 
           F                                             C 
Hell, they even got the Coast Guard looking out for submarines. 

Its a homely girl's paradise, that's what they're tellin' me, 
    F                                                     C 
But homely's just a state of mind, they both look good to me. 
Am               G6            Fmaj7 
 Jumpin' off the cliffs into a shark infested bay, 
Am           G6              F                 G 
Dodging jellyfish, its just another fun filled day. 
        C  
I don't wanna bust your bubble, I don't wanna bring you down, 
   F                                       C    F  C 
But out here in GTMO, its the only game in town. 

        C 
There's 4000 Cubans on the north side of the fence, 
     F                                                 C 
Just waitin' for a chance to put their training to the test. 

Sometimes I wish they would man, and I'd give that exam. 
     F                                             C 
It'd show em how we do it, when we fight for Uncle Sam.  

  Am            G6          Fmaj7 
I wonder if the people back home 
    Am    G6     F               G 
Have any idea at all where we've gone. 
            C 
And I don't wanna bust your bubble, I don't wanna bring you down, 
   F                                       C 
But out here in GTMO, its the only game in town. 

I don't wanna bust your bubble, I don't wanna bring you down, 
   F                                       C 
But out here in GTMO, its the only game in town. 
F                                      C    
Out here in GTMO, its the only game in town.
