            Dm (xx0231@1)                         A (x02220@1)
when we hid out behind the risers at the high school,
         G (320003@1)                        Dmworking (xx0231@1)bitter calculations with a slide rule.

         Dm (xx0231@1)                           A (x02220@1)
when we chewed up pseudoephedrine like bubble gum,
         G (320003@1)                                    Dmtil (xx0231@1)our hearts were beating as deep and rich as kettle drums
        Dm (xx0231@1)                          A (x02220@1)
we knew if we waited long enough the change would come.
             G (320003@1)                 Aand (x02220@1)then the day did come and at last

         Dm (xx0231@1)                       A (x02220@1)
when we ditched the plan to poison all our enemies,
         G (320003@1)                                    Dmstuffed (xx0231@1)our weapons in a clearing, and covered them with leaves,

we are going to come rejoicing bringing in the sheaves
             G (320003@1)                 Aone (x02220@1)day, and we are on our way.
