Verse:
(A7) Dsus2 D Em7 Dsus2 D A7sus4 A7 Dsus2
Well last night I dreamt I sailed the seven seas, I'd spoken Madarin there with ease
(Dsus2) D Em7 Dsus2 D A7sus4 A7
I crossed the mountains through the meadows, I followed the breeze
(A7) Dsus2 D Em7 Dsus2 D A7sus4 A7
When a soldier came to ask me who I was and why I was singing
(A7) Dsus2 D Em7 Dsus2 D A7sus4 A7
So I told him tales of many things and not to fear what I was thinking
Pre-chorus:
(A7) Dsus2 D Em7 Dsus2 D A7sus4 A7
He said in Ameri-ca they boil your bones and they'll eat your eyes for dinner
(A7) Dsus2 D Em7 Dsus2 D A7sus4 A7
I'd go back to where you come from maybe there you'll fair much better
(A7) Dsus2 D Em7 Dsus2 D A7sus4 A7
So I told him of a mermaid that I met the other day
(A7) Dsus2 D Em7 Dsus2 D A7sus4 A7 Dsus2
And that he could have her address if I could pass, if I could pass this way
Chorus:
(Dsus2) D Em7 Dsus2 D A7sus4 A7 Dsus2
It's all such a shame we're all so afraid don't you know that it's all in the game
(Dsus2) D Em7 Dsus2 D A7sus4 A7 Dsus2
It's only a bogeyman knocking my door but he don't live here no more
(Dsus2) D |Em7 |Dsus2 D |A7sus4 A7 |
Verse:
(A7) Dsus2 D Em7 Dsus2 D A7sus4 A7
Well in Washington I met a man who went to all his neighbours
(A7) Dsus2 D Em7 Dsus2 D A7sus4 A7
And he made a pact to save them from mysteri--ous invaders
(A7) Dsus2 D Em7 Dsus2 D A7sus4 A7
And then he claps his hands and stamps his feet and he sails the seven seas
(A7) Dsus2 D Em7 Dsus2 D A7sus4 A7
And he chains them all to dollar bills and he tells them they are free
Pre-chorus:
(A7) Dsus2 D Em7 Dsus2 D A7sus4 A7
Because in Afri--ca they boil your bones and they'll eat you eyes for dinner
(A7) Dsus2 D Em7 Dsus2 D A7sus4 A7 Dsus2
I'd go back to where we all belong and maybe we'll feel, maybe we'll feel better
Chorus:
(Dsus2) D Em7 Dsus2 D A7sus4 A7 Dsus2
It's all such a shame we're all so afraid don't you know that it's all in the game
(Dsus2) D Em7 Dsus2 D A7sus4 A7 Dsus2
It's only a bogeyman knocking my door but he don't live here no more
