G
See Thomas Jefferson
C G
On the eve of Bunker Hill
C G
Writing words to die for
Em D G
Writing sentences to kill
They've come to paint his portrait
C G
So he grabs a chair and sits
Em C
As the surgeon orders cotton
D G
For a thousand tourniquets
C
For God and country
Em
For us and them
C
Every good idea
Em
Kills at least a thousand men
C D G
At least a thousand men
See the able-bodied Christian
C G C
In a dark and savage land
G
Tellin' all those who will listen
Em D G
That God was once a man
Through needles eye so narrow
C G
He will lead them four by four
Em C
He's got nine hundred shackles
C D G
He needs at least a hundred more
C
A thousand men
Em
A thousand men
C
Every good idea
Em
Kills at least a thousand men
C D G
At least a thousand men
See the able-bodied student
C G C
In his laboratory coat
G
Whispering calculations
Em D G
Like prayers stuck in his throat
Soon he will discover
C G
Some flawless medicine
Em C
But right now he needs an oven
D G
That holds at least a thousand men
C
Some are the means
Em
Some are the ends
C
Every good idea
Em
Kills at least a thousand men
C D G
At least a thousand men
D
One thousand one
Em
One thousand one
C
Every man I know
Em
Thinks that he's one thousand one
D
Nine hundred nine
Em
His day is done
C
Every man I know
Em
Thinks that he's one thousand one
C D G
I know I'm one thousand one
