[Verse 1]
Em D/E Cmaj7 Here comes the helicopter Em D Cmaj7 Second time today Em D Cmaj7 Everybody scatters Em D Cmaj7 And hopes it goes away Em D Cmaj7 How many kids they've murdered Em D Cmaj7 Bm7 Only God can say
[Chorus 1]
Am7 Bm7 If I had a rocket launcher Am7 Bm7 If I had a rocket launcher Am7 Bm7 If I had a rocket launcher Em I'd make somebody pay

[Verse 2]
Em D/E Cmaj7 I don't believe in guarded borders Em D Cmaj7 and I don't believe in hate Em D Cmaj7 I don't believe in generals Em D Cmaj7 or their stinking torture states Em D Cmaj7 And when I talk with the survivors Em D Cmaj7 Bm7 of things too sickening to relate
[Chorus 2]
Am7 Bm7 If I had a rocket launcher Am7 Bm7 If I had a rocket launcher Am7 Bm7 If I had a rocket launcher Em I would retaliate
[Verse 3]
Em D Cmaj7 On the Rio Lacuntun Em D Cmaj7 one hundred thousand wait Em D Cmaj7 To fall down from starvation Em D Cmaj7 or some less humane fate Em D Cmaj7 Cry for Guatemala Em D Cmaj7 Bm7 with a corpse in every gate Am7 Bm7 If I had a rocket launcher Am7 Bm7 If I had a rocket launcher Am7 Bm7 If I had a rocket launcher Em I would not hesitate
[Instrumental]

[Verse 4]
Em D Cmaj7 I want to raise every voice, Em D Cmaj7 at least I've got to try Em D Cmaj7 Every time I think about it Em D Cmaj7 water rises to my eyes Em D Cmaj7 Situation desperate Em D Cmaj7 Bm7 echoes of the victim's cry
[Chorus 3]
Am7 Bm7 If I had a rocket launcher Am7 Bm7 If I had a rocket launcher Am7 Bm7 If I had a rocket launcher Em Some son-of-a-bitch would die
