Verse:
D                      E
Reconnaissance on the corner
       D                 E
In the old world not so far
D                      E
First we took an airplane
        D          E
Then a boat to Zanzibar

Queen cranking on the blaster

And Mercury did rise

Come along where we all belonged

You were yours and I was mine

D                      E
Crossed the border to Morocco
D                  E
Kashmir then Marrakesh
       D                      E
The lengths we had to go to then
            D                      E
To find a place Trump hadn’t fucked up yet

A
Living life on the back porch

Lifting rocks to make a wage
E
Every sunset paid attention to

Not a starry night went to waste

Bridge:
E
And here we are, the red planet

Craters across the skyline

A sleep sack in a bivouac

And a Kerouac sense of time

C                      A
And we think about the old days
C                       A
Of green grass, sky and red wine
E
Shouldn’t known so fragile

And avoided this one-way flight

Chorus:
C  A  E             C    A
Had   to    quick escape
    E            C   A
Had to quick escape
    E            C   A E
Had to quick escape

Outro:
E
