"Army (Dream Song)"
Boiled in Lead
Album: _Orb_
Words and music: Todd Menton
INTRO (single strokes):
[tab] (full measure)
Em (full measure)[/tab]
[tab]
In my dream I m suddenly in the army[/tab]
[tab]
And the army life is good[/tab]
[tab]
But I m ankle deep in blood[/tab]
[tab]
So I went to see the quartermaster[/tab]
[tab]
And the quartermaster said[/tab]
[tab]
"Your socks are awful red"[/tab]
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
[tab]
CHORUS: And the cannon were lined up all in a line[/tab]
[tab]
Dark and cold[/tab]
[tab]
They aimed them all straight upward[/tab]
[tab]
And thunder rolled[/tab]
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
