C (x32010@1)    G (320003@1)          D (xx0232@1)         GLike (320003@1)a nun with her head in the oven

GBut (320003@1)they came here by boat
                      CAnd (x32010@1)they came here by plane
DThey (xx0232@1)blistered their hands
                          GAnd (320003@1)they burned out their brain
GAll (320003@1)dreaming a dream
                   CThat'll (x32010@1)never come true
           DHey, (xx0232@1)don't give me no trouble

Or I'll call up my double

We'll play piggy-in-the-middle
     GWith (320003@1)you


(Repeat Chorus)
