[C]
[G] [C] Sometimes I wish I was a blue [G] job up in the sky
I wouldn't have to walk [D] if I could fly
And I'll be a brown job [Cm] till I die
[G] For ten years to [D] go in the R.L..I. [C] [G] Mmmmmmmm [C] A [G] sergeant that signed [C] me up [G] Had a face like the back [C] of a truck [G] A tattoo on each knee [G] And legs like a [C] mohawk tree And the medic that did my test He [G] left me standing in [C] my vest And then when I didn't see He stabbed me with a T.A.P. Sometimes [Cm] I wish I was a blue [G] job up in the sky I wouldn't have to walk [D] if I could fly That I'll be a brown [C] job until I die [G] With ten years to go [C] in the R.L.I. [G] Mmmmmhmmmmhmmmmhmmm [C] [Gm] Down at the quarter-master store [G] I said I'd take [Cm] size four [G] They gave me size three [C] for sports It [G] was a pair of open [D]-neck shorts I was in the cookhouse queue, [G] waiting for my beans and [C] stew. [D] The cook just winks at [G] me, and slips that blue stone in my teeth. Sometimes [C] I wish I was a blue [G] job up in the sky. I wouldn't have to walk [C] if I could fly. [D] But I'll be a brown [C] job until I die. [G] With ten years to go [C] and we are alive. [G] Hmmmmmm. [C] [G]
Standing on [C] parade. [G] Never get a [C] bit of shade. [G] Out in the blazing [C] sun. [G] With the temperature a hundred and [C] one. [D] And you know there's nothing [C] worse [G] than doing the assault [C] course. When the sweat is running free, [G] and it smells like a chibuli. Sometimes [Cm] I wish I was a blue [G] job up in the sky I wouldn't have to walk [C] if I could [D] fly But I'll be a brown [C] job until I die [G] Got ten years to go [C] in the R.L.I. Mmmmmmmmmmm [G] [C] We [G] had a contact the other [C] day [G] But the terrors all ran [C] away We [G] were firing the M [C].A.G. [G] From a dip like Odie [D] Murphy So if I go up in the puff of [C] smoke [G] It's better than [C] being a slope Or a fuss from the PSAP [Eb] I'd very much rather be [G] me Sometimes [F] I wish I was a [G] blue job up in the sky I wouldn't have to walk [C] to buy good fly [F] Bet I'll be a brown [C] job until I [G] die But ten years to go [C] in the RLI [Fm] I'm [C] a blue job, [G] blue [C] [D] [C] job, blue job, blue job [G] [C]
