  Intro:

  G Bm G Bm

    G                            Bm

  I used to watch Highway Patrol whittlin' with my knife

          G                              Bm

  but the thought never struck me I'd be black and white for life

        G                              Em

  I was raised on law and order in a community of strife

    D                            Am                  C   Am   C   Am

  became a restless border and I never took a wife

         G                   Bm

  I went looking for Khadafi aboard Air Force One

        G                          Bm

  but I never did find him and the CIA said son

         G                     Em

  you'll never be a hero, your flying days are done

       D                                     Am                     C Am C Am

  it's time for you to go home now, stop sniffin that smoking gun

        

        G                                Bm

  I was travellin with my family through the mideast late one night

         G                            Bm

  in the hotel all was quite the kids were out like little lights

           G                                        Em

  then the street filled with jeeps there was an explosion to the right

       D                                Am                   C Am C Am     

  they chanted "death to America" I was feelin like a fight

  

       G                       Bm 

  So I ran down the stairs and out into the street

          G                      Bm

  someone kicked me in the belly someone else kissed my feet

        G                  Em

  I was Rambo in the disco shooting to the beat

       D                             Am                   C Am C Am

  When they burned me in effigy my vacation was complete
