                Gm       Am    Dm     Dm
All the fur and fin will lose again
                 Gm       Am          Dm     Dm
Cause our better is their worst reckonin'
        Gm             C            Dm (hold)
And our fine-feathered friends will sing until they bleed
                Gm           Am          Dm     Dm
And how will we replace that symphony?

I've got the blackest boots, the whitest skin
     Bb                 C*
Satisfy my sugar tongue again
             F                  C*
Sing me lullabies of shoe-shine days
        Bb                  C*
Guilded verses for your ethylene
                   F        Am       Bb-Am-Gm-C-Dm
And sing 'em to me free and clean

All the kids come home with foreign limbs  Gm, Am, Dm, Dm
From hunting trips abroad they lose again  Gm, Am, Dm, Dm
          Gm                C        F* (hold)          Bb  Am-Bb
And we'll teach them how to talk and whistle while they walk
And do the dirty work of battle hymns  Gm, Am, Dm Dm

I've got the blackest boots, the whitest skin   F, C*
Satisfy my sugar tongue again                   Bb, C*
Sing me lullabies of shoe-shine days            F, C*
Guilded verses for your ethylene                Bb, C*
And sing it to me free and clean                F, Am (to Gm)
