G5  F#5
Ooooh, the lonely boys
in their towers of faith
ooooh, the lonely boys
locked in their towers of faith
G5
the prophet reclined
        C5
on the golan heights
A5        D5
ohhh, the lonely boys
G5
he said, this land is my land
        C5
to the Shiites
A5          D5
ooooh, the lonely boys
G5                                              C5
and jehova looked up from the sea of galilee beneath
       A5                       D5
he said, i see you, you thief
D5            G5
this land is my land
                 C5
and this sand is my sand
                 G5
and this band is my band
       D5     C5
oh the lonely boys
                   G5
lookin' over their shoulder
                  E5
checkin out every boulder in the park
          A5
where the gates are closed from hate
D5
after dark
G5                                        C5
and the pope rolled up in his armored van
A5                                     D5
he fell on his knees and kissed the land
G5                                     C5
he said something that i did not understand
it was in polish
     A5
then up stepped an aide
                           D5
he said, i will translate
here is what his holiness said:
G5               E5
'i am the chief jesuit.'
                     A5
'this land is jesus' land.'
                  D5
'and that is all'
'all that there is to it.'

                G5
and in new york city
                               C5
the business man in his mohair suit

in the world trade center
A5                    D5
puffs on his cheroot
and he said,
G5                                      C5
well i don't care who owns the desert sands
         A5
my brief
                 D5
is with the hydrocarbons underneath
G5
and the sea of battle rages
                   C5
around the ancient tombs
and mother nature licks her wounds
        A5          
and the lonely boys locked in their towers of faith
        D5
who are nervous in the park
                                G5
when the gates are closed after dark

G5 F#5

ooooh, the lonely boys
in their towers of faith
ooooh, the lonely boys
locked in their towers of faith
