Intro:
   Dsus2         D|             Em7|   Dsus2         D|  A7sus4        A7|
   Dsus2         D|             Em7|   Dsus2         D|  A7sus4        A7|
Verse:
(A7)         Dsus2          D                Em7       Dsus2        D    A7sus4           A7  Dsus2  
Well last night I dreamt I sailed the seven seas, I'd spoken Madarin there with ease
(Dsus2)            D                     Em7        Dsus2              D       A7sus4  A7  
      I crossed the mountains through the meadows, I followed the breeze
(A7)      Dsus2         D            Em7         Dsus2       D       A7sus4  A7  
When a soldier came to ask me who I was and why I was singing
(A7)     Dsus2          D                      Em7       Dsus2       D       A7sus4  A7  
So I told him tales of many things and not to fear what I was thinking
Pre-chorus:
(A7)        Dsus2         D                           Em7      Dsus2          D       A7sus4  A7  
He said in Ameri-ca they boil your bones and they'll eat your eyes for dinner
(A7)      Dsus2       D                   Em7          Dsus2           D       A7sus4  A7  
I'd go back to where you come from maybe there you'll fair much better
(A7)     Dsus2      D              Em7     Dsus2       D       A7sus4  A7  
So I told him of a mermaid that I met the other day
(A7)         Dsus2          D          Em7     Dsus2          D    A7sus4          A7  Dsus2  
And that he could have her address if I could pass, if I could pass this way
Chorus:
(Dsus2)           D                  Em7   Dsus2             D           A7sus4           A7  Dsus2  
   It's all such a shame we're all so afraid  don't you know that it's all in the game
(Dsus2)           D                    Em7   Dsus2          D       A7sus4        A7  Dsus2  
       It's only a bogeyman knocking my door    but he don't live here no more
(Dsus2)          D|             Em7|   Dsus2         D|  A7sus4        A7|
Verse:
(A7)      Dsus2       D             Em7     Dsus2         D       A7sus4  A7  
Well in Washington I met a man who went to all his neighbours
(A7)     Dsus2         D                 Em7   Dsus2       D       A7sus4  A7  
And he made a pact to save them from mysteri--ous invaders
(A7)             Dsus2           D                      Em7       Dsus2       D       A7sus4  A7  
And then he claps his hands and stamps his feet and he sails the seven seas
(A7)          Dsus2        D                   Em7        Dsus2          D       A7sus4  A7  
And he chains them all to dollar bills and he tells them they are free
Pre-chorus:
(A7)        Dsus2         D                           Em7     Dsus2          D       A7sus4  A7  
Because in Afri--ca they boil your bones and they'll eat you eyes for dinner
(A7)      Dsus2          D              Em7   Dsus2            D        A7sus4           A7  Dsus2  
I'd go back to where we all belong and maybe we'll feel,      maybe we'll feel better
Chorus:
(Dsus2)           D                  Em7   Dsus2             D           A7sus4           A7  Dsus2  
   It's all such a shame we're all so afraid  don't you know that it's all in the game
(Dsus2)           D                    Em7   Dsus2          D       A7sus4        A7  Dsus2
