[Intro] E D x4 [Verse]
D                      E
Reconnaissance on the corner

       D                 E
In the old world not so far

D                      E
First we took an aeroplane

        D          E
Then a boat to Zanzibar

A
Queen cranking on the blaster
And Mercury did rise
E
Come along where we all belonged
You were yours and I was mine [Instrumental] E [Chorus]
C  A E               C    A 
Had  to,...  Quick escape

    B E              C   A 
Had to,... quick escape
[Instrumental] E D x4 [Verse]
D                      E
Crossed the border to Morocco

D                  E
Kashmir then Marrakesh

       D                      E
The lengths we had to go to then

            D                      E
To find a place Trump hadn’t fucked up yet

A
Living life on the back porch
Lifting rocks to make a wage
E
Every sunset paid attention to
Not a starry night went to waste [Chorus]
C  A E               C    A 
Had  to,...  Quick escape

    B E             C   A 
Had to,... Quick escape

    E                C   A  B E
Had to,... Quick escape
[Instrumental] C A E x3 E [Bridge]
E
And here we are, the red planet
Craters across the skyline A sleep sack in a bivouac And a Kerouac sense of time
C                      A
And we think about the old days

C                       A
Of green grass, sky and red wine

E
Shouldn’t known, so fragile
And avoided this one-way flight [Chorus]
C  A E               C    A 
Had  to,...  Quick escape

    B E             C   A 
Had to,... Quick escape

    E                C   A  B E
Had to,... Quick escape
[Outro] E C A E x12
