Intro:  D  Dsus4 D   Bm A G  G   D  Dsus4 D 


Verse: 
D                   Dsus4   D 
So Richard Oaks gave  me a call 
                    Bm  A       G 
From San Francisco late in the fall 
                    D   Dsus4 D 
He said it's going down 

D 
He said we're gonna take the island 
     Dsus4 D         Dsus2      D 
As a monument to the smallpox blankets  
        Bm 
And the bureaucrats 
 A                    G 
All you got to do is come along 
 G                 D     Dsus4 D 
You catch a bus tomorrow 

           G 
And if we die there  
                             D    Dsus4 D 
Well at least we'll make a choice 
          G 
If we're fine there 
                 A   Asus2 A  Asus2 
We can tell the boys
