      D (xx0232@1)       Em (022000@1)     G (320003@1)    F#mIn (244222@1)my dream I'm suddenly in the army
        Em (022000@1) G (320003@1)     F#mAnd (244222@1)the army life is good
        Bm (x24432@1)          ABut (x02220@1)I'm ankle deep in blood
     D (xx0232@1)     Em (022000@1)    G (320003@1)    F#mSo (244222@1)I went to see the quartermaster
        Em (022000@1)   G (320003@1)    F#mAnd (244222@1)the quartermaster said
      F#m (244222@1)           Em"Your (022000@1)socks are awful red"

I found the master sergeant
I said "Sergeant, I am hurting
I'm considering deserting."
He said "Do whatever's in your conscience"
So I tried to make a run
But I was stapled to the gun

                D (xx0232@1)         Em (022000@1)     G (320003@1)      F#mCHORUS: (244222@1)And the cannon were lined up all in a line
        G (320003@1)      F#m (244222@1)       Dark and cold
             G (320003@1)                     F#m (244222@1)       They aimed them all straight upward
            Em (022000@1)    D (xx0232@1)       And thunder rolled

REPEAT INTRO

I found the first lieutenant
He said "God, they're going to bomb us
>From their vicious flying llamas!"
I dove into the llama shelter
I became Charlotte Cordet
And the battle fell away

But the peace that reigned in Upper Dreamland
Was badly negated
When the giant slugs invaded
I turned to face my fine young officers
I was barking out my orders
When they crashed across the borders

CHORUS TWICE

Repeat intro chords, end on D
