FI called the big man at the field
And I told him what he'd done
He laughed and said "Go back to bed,
My boys just having Ebfun
My Bbboys just having Ffun"
FI said, "First you killed my chickens
Then you wiped out all my sheep"
He said, "Don't you know we're protecting you
Now go on back to Ebsleep",
He said, "BbGo on back to Fsleep"
Sonic booms they killed my chickens
A sonic boom well it treed my cow
Sonic booms bust my dishes
Them jets are bound to get me Ebnow
Them jBbets are bound to get me Fnow
FSo if you were yelled at as a boy
For slamming your screen door
And swore that you'd get back at Mom
If it took ten years or Ebmore
If Bbit took ten years or Fmore
FWell you can join the men that fly at night
And protect us while we sleep
You can make a boom that'll kill your Mom
And she'll never make a Ebpeep
No she'll Bbnever make a Fpeep
A Bbsonic boom Fshocked my horses
BbSonic boom sFquashed my goats
BbSonic boom'll Ffry your brain
Until you want to slit your Ebthroat
Until you Bbwant to slit your tFhroat
A Bbsonic boom Fshocked my horses
BbSonic boom Fsquashed my goats
BbSonic boom'll Ffry your brain
Until you want to slit your Ebthroat
Until you Bbwant to slit your Fthroat

Subject: Sonic Bummer Gene Parsons Chords/Words

I called the big man at the field

And I told him what he'd done

He laughed and said "Go back to bed,

My boys just having fun

Bb F

My boys just having fun"

I said, "First you killed my chickens

Then you wiped out all my sheep"

He said, "Don't you know we're protecting you

Now go on back to sleep",

Bb F

He said, "Go on back to sleep"

Sonic booms they killed my chickens

A sonic boom well it treed my cow

Sonic booms bust my dishes

Them jets are bound to get me now

Bb F

Them jets are bound to get me now

So if you were yelled at as a boy

For slamming your screen door

And swore that you'd get back at Mom

If it took ten years or more

Bb F

If it took ten years or more

Well you can join the men that fly at night

And protect us while we sleep

You can make a boom that'll kill your Mom

And she'll never make a peep

Bb F

No she'll never make a peep

Bb F

A sonic boom shocked my horses

Bb F

Sonic boom squashed my goats

Bb F

Sonic boom'll fry your brain

Until you want to slit your throat

Bb F

Until you want to slit your throat

Bb F

A sonic boom shocked my horses

Bb F

Sonic boom squashed my goats

Bb F

Sonic boom'll fry your brain

Until you want to slit your throat

Bb F

Until you want to slit your throat
