[Intro]
F   C
[Verse]
I signed Cup to serve my country, and I mean it when I say:
I'm Fproud to do my duty for the good ol' USCA.
They sent me to an island in the Caribbean sea,
But it Fain't no pearl at all, its just another place to Cbe.
And I Amwonder what I'll G6do again toFmaj7night,
Maybe Amhave a couple G6beers and try to Fkeep out of Gfights..
And I don't Cwanna bust your bubble, I don't wanna bring you down,
But Fout here in GTMO, its the only game in Ctown.F  C  
They Cpromised us new gear, and they promised us new boots,
They Fpromised in 4 months we'd be replaced by new reCcruits.
I got here in January, thinking I'd be home by spring,
Now its Flookin' like I'll need to buy a Cuban christmas Ctree.
 AmOh Santa, G6won't you come this Fmaj7way...
 AmDo you need diG6rections to GuanFtanamo GBay?
I don't Cwanna bust your bubble, I don't wanna bring you down,
But Fout here in GTMO, its the only game in Ctown.F  C  
They got the Carmy, navy, air force, and United States marines,
Hell, they Feven got the Coast Guard looking out for submaCrines.
Its a homely girl's paradise, that's what they're tellin' me,
But Fhomely's just a state of mind, they both look good to Cme.
 AmJumpin' off the G6cliffs into a Fmaj7shark infested bay,
AmDodging jellyG6fish, its just aFnother fun filled Gday.
I don't Cwanna bust your bubble, I don't wanna bring you down,
But Fout here in GTMO, its the only game in Ctown.F  C  
There's C4000 Cubans on the north side of the fence,
Just Fwaitin' for a chance to put their training to the Ctest.
Sometimes I wish they would man, and I'd give that exam.
It'd Fshow em how we do it, when we fight for Uncle CSam. 
I Amwonder if the G6people back Fmaj7home
Have Amany iG6dea at Fall where we've Ggone.
And I don't Cwanna bust your bubble, I don't wanna bring you down,
But Fout here in GTMO, its the only game in Ctown.
I don't wanna bust your bubble, I don't wanna bring you down,
But Fout here in GTMO, its the only game in Ctown.
FOut here in GTMO, its the only game in Ctown.

But it ain't no pearl at all, its just another place to be.

Am G6 Fmaj7

And I wonder what I'll do again tonight,

Am G6 F G

Maybe have a couple beers and try to keep out of fights..

And I don't wanna bust your bubble, I don't wanna bring you down,

F C F C

But out here in GTMO, its the only game in town.

They promised us new gear, and they promised us new boots,

F C

They promised in 4 months we'd be replaced by new recruits.

I got here in January, thinking I'd be home by spring,

F C

Now its lookin' like I'll need to buy a Cuban christmas tree.

Am G6 Fmaj7

Oh Santa, won't you come this way...

Am G6 F G

Do you need directions to Guantanamo Bay?

I don't wanna bust your bubble, I don't wanna bring you down,

F C F C

But out here in GTMO, its the only game in town.

Hell, they even got the Coast Guard looking out for submarines.

Its a homely girl's paradise, that's what they're tellin' me,

F C

But homely's just a state of mind, they both look good to me.

Jumpin' off the cliffs into a shark infested bay,

It'd show em how we do it, when we fight for Uncle Sam.

I wonder if the people back home
