The Mountain Goats' "Commandante" from the album Devil in the Shortwave. This song rocks.
               G                 D
I'm gonna drink more whiskey than Brendan Behan

           C                       G
I'm gonna send my belongings all to Tripoli

             C            G
And I'm gonna ride home to California

  D       C         G
With a banjo on my knee

      G                     D
I'm never gonna turn off the television

           C                    G
I'm just gonna let it run all night

            C                    G
I'm gonna plant root vegetables out in the back yard

            D                    D7
And come summer, I am going to treat you right

    C                        G
So put on your Chairman Mao coat

     C                 G
And let me clear my throat

     Bm                   C
Let's turn this whole town upside down

  C                                 D
Shake it 'til the coins come falling out of its pocket

     C                         G
Yeah, put on your Che Guevara pin

  C                G
Call the troops on in

           Em                      D
We're gonna sail through the night sky

      C                 G
Like a pair of bottle rockets

          G                       D
I got a great big secret written down somewhere

         C                            G
I got a rosary to protect us both from harm

       C                       G
I got a storage locker full of cow figurines

        D                          D7
And a laundry list of grievances longer than my arm

        C                   G
And I am never going back to Cincinatti

         C                                G
All those bridges have been burned down to the ground

         C           G
I got the jetpack strapped to my back

       D                       D7
And I'm waiting for you to come around

     C                           G
Yeah, put on your Chairman Mao coat

   C                G
And let me clear my throat

     Bm                    C
Let's turn this whole place upside down, yes

  C                                 D
Shake it 'til the coins come falling out of its pockets

     C                       G
Yeah, put on your Che Guevara pin

 C                 G
Call the troops on in

           Em                       D
We're gonna sail through the night sky
