Verse 1:
Em
Big legs dangle from a helicopter hole
C/E              Am
Big chug rhythm, gotta be now ho!
 Em
Brown, mean and young, dumb and full of cum
Am
What can you use a Marine for?
 
 
Chorus:
G
This is a fucking ass machine gun war
          Am
With your boots on the ground, boots on the ground
E
Boots on the ground, boots on the ground
    Em
We trim your hedges, we fight your wars
C/E
Wait in the trenches and we're fucked 'til we're sore
     C/E                  Am
With boots on the ground, boots on the ground

Verse 2:
Em
Born shiny bullets in an army of ants
 Am
Blow that horn, we sleep in our pants
    G
Big titties, big titties
        Am
Well we holler and we burn down cities
 
 
Chorus:
Em
Boots on the ground, boots on the ground
 C/E                     Am
Shootin' up the town by stayin' in the hole
           Em
'Til Jimmy Hoffa is found
        Em               Am
With my boots on the ground

Verse 3:
                                   Em
Well, something goes tink when the cardrige is spent
                               Am
Where do you think all your cartilage went?
                     G
Boots on the ground, boots on the ground
                           Am
Now who the hell are these federal pricks?
                             Em
Hiding in the Senate like a bloated-ass tick
                C/E
Air-conditioned fuckstick loafers
Am                        Em
Sittin' in a room full of army posters
                       C/E
A coal to a diamond, a vote into law
                          Em
They campaign up all the blood they can draw
                   Am
Mold your world, a soldier's just clay
                    G
How much does every soldier weigh?
                                F
Cut you at the ankles and they throw that ass away
F
Boots on the ground

Outro:
N.C.                        F
Cold and hot as Satan's hoof
                Fm         Dm
Spinning on the world, I'm hiding on a roof
                                   F
I kill a brown man I never ass knew
           Fm      Dm
Choked on spit and then he turned blue
                                           F
He spattered black blood, he rolled Fin out
              Fm              Dm
He died right here, I got the pearl from his snout
                                           F
A puff of gray smoke, the tongue of a cloud
                 Fm       Dm                                             F
He rotted in the sand and all that they found was his boots on the ground
Boots on the ground, boots on the ground
                            F                    N.C.
All that they found was his boots on the ground, boots on the ground
