       C               Cadd9           G        
Oh I'd send a flood to Russia right to Putin's door, 

    D                                Em    
The waves of my destruction spanning miles,

But instead give all Pussy Riot a dame-hood

Oh I'd send one to Uganda where Museveni says

And until he finds one he's content to throw them all in jail 

         (strum once)                   (lick)

And Putin and Museveni, for UKIP and for Jeremy, and banter from the Top Gear lads,          
                           
                  (walk up)                (strum once)      (strum once) 
     Em                                  C                 G
