Olivers Army Chords

(ver. 1)
The Moon Loungers
[Intro]

G  Cadd9  D x 2


[Verse 1]
G              Gmaj7    Cadd9    D
Don't start me talking; I could talk all night
G            Gmaj7       Cadd9      B7
My mind goes sleepwalking while I'm putting the world to right
Em             A7           Em                  A7          G
Called careers information.  Have you got yourself an occupation?


[Chorus]
G                Cadd9    D      G                 Cadd9   D
Oliver's Army is here to stay.  Oliver's Army are on their way
G     D/F#    Em7       D       Cadd9  C/B   D      G  Cadd9   C/B   D
  And I would rather be anywhere else but   here today


[Verse 2]
G             Gmaj7            Cadd9       D
There was a checkpoint Charlie, he didn't crack a smile
G           Gmaj7           Cadd9           B7
But it's no laughing party when you've been on the murder mile
Em              A7            Em                  A7
Only takes one itchy trigger, one more widow one less white figure


[Chorus]
G                 Cadd9   D      G                 Cadd9    D
Oliver's Army is here to stay.  Oliver's Army are on their way
G     D/F#    Em7       D       Cadd9 C/B   D      G   Cadd9   C/B   D
  And I would rather be anywhere else but   here today


[Middle 8]
F#m            E             D          C#7
  Hong Kong is up for grabs;  London is full of Arabs
B7                E          D              E
   We could be in Palestine, overrun by the Chinese line
         D                            E              E7
with the boys from the Mersey and the Thames and the Tyne
A              Amaj7   D          E           A
But there's no danger.  It's a professional career
                Amaj7            D              C#7             F#m
though it could be arranged with just a word in Mr. Churchill's ear
                  B7                F#m
If you're out of luck you're out of work
                  B7        A    D  E
We could send you to Johannesburg


[Chorus]
A                D       E     A                 D        E
Oliver's Army is here to stay  Oliver's Army are on their way
A     A/G#    A/F#      A/E      D    D/C#  E     A
  and I would rather be anywhere else than here today (3 times)
A             D  D/C#   E
     Oh oh oh oh___    Oh oh oh______
A             D  D/C#   E
     Oh oh oh oh___    Oh oh oh______
A             D  D/C#   E
     Oh oh oh oh___    Oh oh oh______
