IF I HAD A ROCKET LAUNCHER by Bruce Cockburn

E  079900

D  057700

C  035500

B  024400

A  002200

E              D   C       D  E

Here comes the helicopter,

E      D    C       D  E

Second time today

E    D    C       D  E

Everybody scatters

E            D    C    D  E

And hopes it goes away

E        D            C       D  E

How many kids they've murdered

E    D       C    B   A

Only God can say

A                 D

If I had a rocket launcher

A                 D

If I had a rocket launcher

A                 D

If I had a rocket launcher

                      E  D  C  D  E  D  C  E

I'd make somebody pay

I don't believe in guarded borders and I don't believe in hate

I don't believe in generals or their stinking torture states

And when I talk with the survivors of things too sickening to relate

If I had a rocket launcher

If I had a rocket launcher

If I had a rocket launcher

I would retaliate

On the Rio Lacuntun one hundred thousand wait

To fall down from starvation or some less humane fate

Cry for Guatemala with a corpse in every gate

If I had a rocket launcher

If I had a rocket launcher

If I had a rocket launcher

I would not hesitate

INSTRUMENTAL

I want to raise every voice, at least I've got to try

Every time I think about it water rises to my eyes

Situation desperate echoes of the victim's cry

If I had a rocket launcher

If I had a rocket launcher

If I had a rocket launcher

Some son-of-a-bitch would die
