[Intro] Gm Am Dm Dm/A Dm Gm Am Dm Dm/A Dm Dm/A [Verse 1]
                Gm       Am        Dm Dm/A Dm Dm/A
All the fur and fin will lose again

                  Gm       Am             Dm Dm/A Dm Dm/A
'Cause our better is their worst reckonin'

        Gm             C            Dm
And our fine-feathered friends will sing until they bleed

                Gm           Am        Dm Dm/A Dm
And how will we replace that symphony?
[Chorus]
                      F                  C
I've got the blackest boots, the whitest skin

     Bb                 C
Satisfy my sugar tongue again

             F                  C
Sing me lullabies of shoe-shine days

        Bb                  C
Guilded verses for your ethylene

                  F        Am     Bb Am Gm C Dm
And sing it to me free and clean
[Verse 2]
                  Gm        Am           Dm Dm/A Dm Dm/A
All the kids come home with foreign limbs

                   Gm          Am        Dm Dm/A Dm
From hunting trips abroad they lose again

          Gm                C
And we'll teach them how to talk

    F                  Bb   Bb/A  Bb
And whistle while they walk

                 Gm      Am          Dm Dm/A Dm
And do the dirty work of battle hymns
[Chorus]
                      F                  C
I've got the blackest boots, the whitest skin

     Bb                 C
Satisfy my sugar tongue again

             F                  C
Sing me lullabies of shoe-shine days

        Bb                  C
Guilded verses for your ethylene

                  F        Am 
And sing it to me free and clean
[Solo] Gm Am Dm Dm/A Dm Gm Am Dm Dm/A Dm Dm/A [Verse 3]
                  Gm       Am       Dm Dm/A Dm Dm/A
Drinking tea with milk and ganjaweed

               Gm  Am           Dm Dm/A Dm Dm/A
Pontificate on genocide or greed

       Gm         C
With a spoonful of descent

        Dm
For the orchestra of need

                  Gm          Am     Dm Dm/A Dm
Is just enough to please this colony
[Chorus]
                      F                  C
I've got the blackest boots, the whitest skin

     Bb                 C
Satisfy my sugar tongue again

              F                 C
Bring me lullabies and morphine dreams

      Bb                C
Belladonna with her atropine

                  F            Am Bb Am Gm C Dm
And sing it to me free and clean
