I heard from a friend you'd been messing around 
       G                                     D 
With a cute little thing I'd been dating uptown 
     D                               C 
Well I don't know if I like that idea much 
           G                         D 
Well you'd better stay clear I might start acting rough 
    C                    G  
You out of town guys sure think you're real keen 
      A                 D 
Think all of us boys are homespun and green     But that's  
C                       G 
wrong my friend so get this through your head 
      G                           D             G 
We're tough and we're Texan with necks good and red 


        Em                               D                     C 
So it's Ki yi yippie yi yi      You long hairs are sure gonna die        
Em            A                      D 
Our American home was clean till you came 
    C            D                       G 
And kids still respected the president's name 
        Em                                              D                  C 
And the eagle still flew in the sky             Hearts filled with national pride 
Em              A                        D 
Then you came along with your drug-crazy songs 
   C             D        G                                     C Am/B Am       G 
Goddamit you're all gonna die 


    D                               C 
How dare you sit there and drink all our beer 
        G                      D 
Oh it's made for us workers who sweat spit and swear 
    D                          C 
The minds of our daughters are poisoned by you 
          G                            D 
With your communistic politics and them negro blues 
         C                          G 
Well I'm gonna quit talking and take action now 
    A                        D 
Run all of you fairies clean out of this town 
      D                         G 
Oh I'm dog tired of watching you mess up our lives 
G                       D         G 
Spending the summertime naturally high  


        Em                               D                     C 
So it's Ki yi yippie yi yi      You long hairs are sure gonna die        
Em            A                      D 
Our American home was clean till you came 
    C            D                       G 
And kids still respected the president's name 
        Em                                              D                  C 
And the eagle still flew in the sky             Hearts filled with national pride 
Em              A                        D 
Then you came along with your drug-crazy songs 
   C             D        Em               Em             G                     C Am/B Am       G 
Goddamit you're all gonna die,  ...die, ..die.
