G C G [tab] D Help save them from themselves G C G Help save the sun-tanned surfer boys D G And the Californian girls

C G From the Big Church to the Big River D And out to the Shining Sea G C G This is the Land of Opportunity D G And there's a Monkey Trial on TV

G C G Don't tell me the old, old story D Tell me the truth this time G C G Is the Man in the Mask or the Indian D G An enemy or a friend of mine

C G And the cities of Europe have burned before D And they may yet burn again G C G And if they do I hope you understand D G That Washington will burn with them D G Omaha will burn with them C G D G Los Alamos will burn with them
