 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

   It's a real disgrace, she says

You don't understand

  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

 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

Blow up the whole damn country?
