Biografia:
Warren Zevon (1947) compunha sobre homicídio, paixões desesperadas, espionagem, solidão, e pasmaceira com tamanho engenho (e de certa forma confessional) e graça que poucos conseguiram alcançar. Quando o cantor-compositor-pianista sucumbiu ao câncer pulmonar em 2003, o mundo da música perdeu uma voz verdadeiramente original. Reconhecido pela ironia com que encarava a vida, suas canções eram carregadas de um humor deliciosamente negro, por vezes, de temática política.

Quatro anos de trabalho duro!Neste mês de maio fizemos quatro anos no ar. Continuamos trabalhando na divulgação deste maravilhoso instrumento, obrigado por participar da nossa história!
[Verse 1]
Bm D G
Roland was a warrior from the Land of the Midnight Sun
G D A
With a Thompson gun for hire, fighting to be done
Bm D G
The deal was made in Denmark on a dark and stormy day
G D A Bm
So he set out for Biafra to join the bloody fray
Bm D G
Through sixty-six and seven they fought the Congo war
G D A
With their fingers on their triggers, knee-deep in gore
Bm D G
For days and nights they battled the Bantu to their knees
G D A Bm
They killed to earn their living and to help out the Congolese
[Chorus]
G D Em Bm
Roland the Thompson gunner...
G D Em Bm
Roland the Thompson gunner...
[Verse 2]
Bm D G
His comrades fought beside him - Van Owen and the rest
G D A
But of all the Thompson gunners Roland was the best
Bm D G
So the CIA decided they wanted Roland dead
G D A Bm
That son-of-a-bitch Van Owen blew off Roland's head
[Chorus]
D A G
Roland the headless Thompson gunner
D A
Norway's bravest son
(Harmony)
(Time, time, time
For another peaceful war
But time stands still for Roland
‘Til he evens up the score)
Bm A D A G Bm
They can still see his headless body stalking through the night
D A Bm
In the muzzle flash of Roland's Thompson gun
D A G G A Bm
In the muzzle flash of Roland's Thompson gun
[Verse 3]
Bm D G
Roland searched the continent for the man who'd done him in
G D A
He found him in Mombassa in a barroom drinking gin
Bm D G
Roland aimed his Thompson gun - he didn't say a word
G D A Bm
But he blew Van Owen's body from there to Johannesburg
[Chorus]
G D Em Bm
Roland the headless Thompson gunner...
G D Em Bm
Roland the headless Thompson gunner...
G D Em Bm
Roland the headless Thompson gunner...(talkin’ about the man)
G D Em Bm
Roland the headless Thompson gunner...
[Verse 4]
Bm D G
The eternal Thompson gunner, still wandering through the night
G D A
Now it's ten years later but he still keeps up the fight
Bm D G
In Ireland, in Lebanon, in Palestine and Berkeley
G G G A
Patty Hearst heard the burst of Roland's Thompson gun
Bm
And bought it
