Am F G Em This English girl from the North somewhere Am C G D5 E Is stayin' with me at my place Am F Drinkin' up all my beer G Em Talkin' about the poor niggers all the time F It's a real disgrace, she says
[Bridge]
Am F G I tell her, Darling, don't talk about things Em You don't understand Am F I tell her, Darling, don't talk about something G Em You don't know anything about Am F I tell her, Darling, if you don't like it here G Eb-5 Go back to your own miserable country
[Chorus]

[Middle 8]
F You know my little brother, babe Am Well, he works out at the diamond mine F I drove him out there at five this mornin' Am The niggers was waitin' in a big long line Fadd#11 You know those big old lunch pails they carry, man Am With a picture of Star Wars painted on the side Fadd#11 They were starin' at us real hard with their big ugly yellow eyes
[Bridge]
| Am F | G Em | You could feel it This time ... | Am F | G Eb-5 | You could feel it

[Interlude]
| Am F | G Em | And the Christmas lights still shine
| Am F | G Em |
[Verse]
Am F G Myself, I don't like to drink the way Em I used to, man, you know Am C G D5 E It don't seem to get me high Am F And the beer don't taste the way it G Em Ought to taste somehow F And I don't know why
[Bridge]
Am F G Don't talk to me about the planes Em Man, I've heard it Am F G D5 E Just take a look around Am F What are we gonna do G Em Blow up the whole damn country? Fadd#11 I don't know
