Intro

, , , x2 (play open 5th string between each )

All the fur and fin will lose again

Cause our better is their worst reckonin'

And our fine-feathered friends will sing until they bleed

And how will we replace that symphony?

I've got the blackest boots, the whitest skin

Satisfy my sugar tongue again

Sing me lullabies of shoe-shine days

Guilded verses for your ethylene

And sing ‘em to me free and clean

All the kids come home with foreign limbs , , ,

From hunting trips abroad they lose again , , ,

And we'll teach them how to talk and whistle while they walk

And do the dirty work of battle hymns Gm, Am, Dm Dm

I've got the blackest boots, the whitest skin , C*

Satisfy my sugar tongue again , C*

Sing me lullabies of shoe-shine days , C*

Guilded verses for your ethylene , C*

And sing it to me free and clean , (to )
