"Army (Dream Song)"
Boiled in Lead
Album: _Orb_
Words and music: Todd Menton
INTRO (single strokes):  D    D   Em   G   F#m    F#m   D   Em   G   F#m    F#m   F#m   Bm  A  
                         D    D   Em   G   F#m    F#m   D   Em   G   F#m(full measure)
                           Em (full measure)
In my Ddream I'm Emsuddenly Gin the F#marmy
And the Emarmy Glife is F#mgood
But I'm Bmankle deep in Ablood
So I Dwent to Emsee the GquarterF#mmaster
And the EmquarterGmaster F#msaid
"Your F#msocks are awful Emred"
I found the master sergeant
I said "Sergeant, I am hurting
I'm considering deserting."
He said "Do whatever's in your conscience"
So I tried to make a run
But I was stapled to the gun
CHORUS: And the Dcannon were Emlined up Gall in a F#mline
        GDark and F#mcold
        They Gaimed them all straight F#mupward
        And Emthunder Drolled
REPEAT INTRO
I found the first lieutenant
He said "God, they're going to bomb us
>From their vicious flying llamas!"
I dove into the llama shelter
I became Charlotte Cordet
And the battle fell away
But the peace that reigned in Upper Dreamland
Was badly negated
When the giant slugs invaded
I turned to face my fine young officers
I was barking out my orders
When they crashed across the borders
CHORUS TWICE
Repeat intro chords, end on D
