A                      D        E
Don't start me talking; I could talk all night.

A                        D          C#7
My mind goes sleepwalking while I'm putting the world to right.

F#m            B           F#m                  B       E  A
Called careers information.  Have you got yourself an occupation?
                                                           Oliver's
        D       E      A                 D        E
Army is here to stay.  Oliver's Army are on their way.

A     A/G#    F#m       A/E      D    D/C#  E	   A    D D/C# E6 E7
  And I would rather be anywhere else but   here today.

A                              D          E
There was a checkpoint Charlie, he didn't crack a smile.

A                          D                C#m
But it's no laughing party when you've been on the murder mile.

F#m            B              F#m                B          E
Only takes one itchy trigger, one more widow one less white nigger.
