Verse 1&2:
Dm A7 Bm A#
Try Jamaica, think they'll take you
Honolulu how do you do?
Dm A7
I'll make a quick stop my fair-lady pill pop
Bm A#
Before catching the bus to good lord knows where's what (catch me)
Dm A7 Bm A# A7 G
falling out of line I'm calling upon North Carolina to help me out here, out here
Salad nicoise good to meet you
Carcasonne hon' stands next to no one
The rake at the door has been taking a tour
of this tar feather land and good lord knows that I am now
Falling out of line I'm calling upon North Carolina to help me out here, out here
(they say)
Chorus:
F C Dm A#
Yankee go Yankee go home
Yankee go Yankee go home
F C Dm A#
gas prices are getting higher as the rain falls upon dry land
Yankee go Yankee go home
Verse 3 (same chords as 1&2):
Senses burn man when the deck-hand
Plays a flute which reminds me of you oh
That night have some patience
And girls who are singing of strangers and sailors
There are gunfights
There are neckties
A little history
A little sunlight
Alright
Chorus again
Outro:
Papa said
Papa said
G D Em C
Pa said get used to it
Pa said get used to it
G D Em C
Pa said it gets so goddamn hard but I get used to it
Pa said get used to it
