[C] [A] [G] I
[D] heard from a friend you've been [C] messing [G] around with a cute little thing.
I've [D] been dating uptown.
I don't know if I'd [C] that idea [G] much.
You better stay [G] clear.
I [D] might start acting rough.
[C] You out of town [G] guys sure [C] think [G] you're real keen.
[A] Think all of us boys [D] here are homespun and green.
But [C] that's wrong my [G] friend, so get this through your [C] head.
[G] We're tough and we're [D] Texan with necks [G] good and red.
[Em] So it's kay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay [D]-ay-ay.
You [C] longhairs are sure gonna [Em] die.
[A] American home is [D] clean till you came.
[C] And kids [D] still respect to hear the [G] president's name.
[Em] And the eagles still flew in the [D] sky.
Hearts [C] filled with national [Em] pride.
When [A] you come along with your [D] drug-crazed song.
[C] God damn [D] it, you're all [G] gonna die.
[C] [G] [D] [Am] [G]
[D] How dare you sit there [C] and drink all our [G] beer.
Oh it's a made for us workers [D] who sweat, spit and swear.
The minds of our daughters [C] are poisoned by you.
[G] With your communistic politics [D] and them negro blues.
[C] Well I'm gonna quit [G] talking [G] and take action now.
[A] Run all of you fairies [D] clean out of this town.
[C] Oh I'm tired of [G] watching you mess up our lives.
Spend another summer [D] time in that you [G] really have.
And [Em] it's kay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay [D]-ay.
You longhairs [C] are sure gonna [Em] die.
[A] American home is clean till [D] you came.
[C] And kids still [D] respect to [G] hear the [C] president's name.
[G]
And [Em] the eagles still flew in the sky.
