Misc Originals – Bruce Watson - Bobs From Belgium (Guitar)

D
Let’s go adventuring said my friend Bob

A
What do you have in mind and he said Prague

C
Prague I said well what the hell

D
So we jumped in the car to drive a spell

C                          D
Bob’s from Belgium and I’m not

D
So off we shot in his old Volvo

A
Lookin’ like a couple of worldly hobos

C
Pulled into town and to my surprise

D
No one there cared to socialize

C                                  D
Luckily Bob’s from Belgium and I’m not

D
Prettiest buildings all around

A
Music playin’ throughout the town

C
Tiniest coffee’s I ever have seen

D
I think they made it with a single bean

C                                          D
You should know Bob’s from Belgium and I’m not

D
Tried to dicker for a piece of glass

A
Language barrier really kicked my ass

C
Ended up paying twice the ask

D
Guy shoulda been wearin’ a bandit mask

C                                      D
You realize Bob’s from Belgium and I’m not

D
Decided it was time to have a beer

A
I mean we’re in Prague we should have a cheer

C
Bob got to arguing over some chick

D
We decided to leave town really quick

C                                  D
Clearly Bob’s from Belgium and I’m not

D
Well we got lost trying to leave the town

A
Bob said don’t worry and looked around

C
Saw an officer on a motorbike

D
And old Bob walked up all business like

C                                  D
You see Bob’s from Belgium and I’m not

D
Cops agreed to escort us out

A
Should have known better and found our own route

C
Few miles out of town and the lights go on

D
And up they walk with machine guns drawn

C                                        D
Did I mention Bob’s from Belgium and I’m not

D
Cops said we could make a deal

A
I got the feeling there was no appeal

C
Five thousand something was the price

D
Bob looked at me and didn’t think twice

C                                        D
Unfortunately Bob’s from Belgium and I’m not

D
Out the car my friend Bob shot

A
Slammed the door man he was hot

C
Things was getting tense I could easily see

D
You could say they were reaching apogee

D
You aren’t going to shoot an American on a highway outside Prague

A
Bob seemed so damn certain as he petted that police dog

C
We will not give you money but I will offer some advice

D
Point them machine guns somewhere else and I ain’t a gonna tell you twice

C                                     D
Wished I was from Belgium and Bob was not

D
Them cops all looked quite surprised

A
Bob leaned closer just to emphasize

C
I felt retreat was a better choice

D
But ol’ Bob continued to raise his voice

C                        D
Bob’s from Belgium and I barely know him

D
Seems international incident was not to be

A
Bob thanked them kindly as they cut us free

C
That about does for me and the Czechia

D
I’ll stick to Tennessee and the hell with ya’

C                                   D
Bob’s going back to Belgium and I’m not

C                          D
Bob’s from Belgium and I’m not
