A great song for people wanting to learn 
to play Police songs yet struggle with 
difficult chords.  Nice Gtr. solo too.

A           G             A         G
The general scratches his belly and thinks
A          G            A        G
His pay is good but his officers stink
D        G     D        G
Guerilla girl, hard and sweet
D     G              D       G
A military man would love to meet



The President looks in the mirror and speaks
His shirts are clean but his country reeks
Unpaid bills
In Afghanistan hills

In old Bombay



The general only wants to teach France to dance
His army life doesn't give him any romance
Guerilla girl, hard and sweet
A military man would love to meet



The general scratches his belly and thinks
His pay is good but his company stinks
Guerilla girl, hard and sweet
A military man would love to meet



Bombs away
But we're O.K.
Bombs away
In old Bombay
