xThe Mountain Goats' "Commandante" from the album Devil in the Shortwave. This song rocks.
G D
I'm gonna drink more whiskey than Brendan Behan
C G
I'm gonna send my belongings all to Tripoli
C G
And I'm gonna ride home to California
D C G
With a banjo on my knee
G D
I'm never gonna turn off the television
C G
I'm just gonna let it run all night
C G
I'm gonna plant root vegetables out in the back yard
D D7
And come summer, I am going to treat you right
C G
So put on your Chairman Mao coat
C G
And let me clear my throat
Bm C
Let's turn this whole town upside down
C D
Shake it 'til the coins come falling out of its pocket
C G
Yeah, put on your Che Guevara pin
C G
Call the troops on in
Em D
We're gonna sail through the night sky
C G
Like a pair of bottle rockets
G D
I got a great big secret written down somewhere
C G
I got a rosary to protect us both from harm
C G
I got a storage locker full of cow figurines
D D7
And a laundry list of grievances longer than my arm
C G
And I am never going back to Cincinatti
C G
All those bridges have been burned down to the ground
C G
I got the jetpack strapped to my back
D D7
And I'm waiting for you to come around
C G
Yeah, put on your Chairman Mao coat
C G
And let me clear my throat
Bm C
Let's turn this whole place upside down, yes
C D
Shake it 'til the coins come falling out of its pockets
C G
Yeah, put on your Che Guevara pin
C G
Call the troops on in
Em D
We're gonna sail through the night sky
(muted) C G
Like a pair of bottle rockets
outro: G D C G C G D D7 C G C G C G D G
