Boiled in Lead - Army guitar tab

D Em G F#m (full measure)

Em (full measure)

D Em G F#m

In my dream I'm suddenly in the army

Em G F#m

And the army life is good

Bm A

But I'm ankle deep in blood

D Em G F#m

So I went to see the quartermaster

Em G F#m

And the quartermaster said

F#m Em

"Your socks are awful red"

I found the master sergeant

I said "Sergeant, I am hurting

I'm considering deserting."

He said "Do whatever's in your conscience"

So I tried to make a run

But I was stapled to the gun

D Em G F#m

CHORUS: And the cannon were lined up all in a line

G F#m

Dark and cold

G F#m

They aimed them all straight upward

Em D

And thunder rolled

REPEAT INTRO

I found the first lieutenant

He said "God, they're going to bomb us

From their vicious flying llamas!"

I dove into the llama shelter

I became Charlotte Cordet

And the battle fell away

But the peace that reigned in Upper Dreamland

Was badly negated

When the giant slugs invaded

I turned to face my fine young officers

I was barking out my orders

When they crashed across the borders

CHORUS TWICE

Repeat intro chords, end on D
