Chords for John Birch Paranoid Blues {Live at Town Hall 1963} - Elston Gunn

[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
I was feeling [C] sad and kind of blue, I didn't [D] know what I was going [G] to do.
The communists [C] wasn't coming around, [G#] they was in the air, they was on the ground, they
wouldn't give me no [G] peace.
_ _ [C] _ _
[D] _ _ _ [G] _ _ [C] _ _ [D] _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Well, I run down [C] most hurriedly and joined [D] the John Birch Society.
_ [G] Got me a [C] secret membership [D] card, started walking off down the road.
Yee-hoo!
[G] _ _
_ _ [C] I'm a real John Bircher now, [G] look out.
[D] _
_ [G] _ _ _ [C] _ _ [D] _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Now we all agree with [Em] Hitler's views, [D] although he killed six million Jews, it [C] don't matter
too much that he was a fascist, at [D] least you can't say he was a communist.
_ [G] _ _ _ _
[C] That's to say, like, if you got [G] a cold, take a shot of malaria. _
_ _ [C] _ _ [D] _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ _ I was looking everywhere for them [Em] gold-dorned reds.
I [D] got up in the morning, looked under my bed, _ _
_ _ [G] looked in the sink [Em] behind the chair, [D] looked
in the glove compartment of my car, looking everywhere, couldn't find [G] them. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ I was looking in the [C] sink behind the [D] chair, I was looking for them reds everywhere.
[G] I looked away up a chimney hole, looked deep [D] down inside my toilet bowl, they [G] got away.
_ _ _ [C] _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ I was sitting home [C] alone and started to sweat, [D] I figured they was in my TV set.
_ _ [G] I peeked behind the picture frame, got a [D] shock, my feet hit me in the brain, them reds [F#m] did it.
[G] _ _ I know they [Em] did, a hard-core one.
[D] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
I quit my job so I could [D] work all alone, and I changed my name to Sherlock Holmes.
_ _ [G] Following some [C] clues from my detective bag, I [D] discovered there was red stripes on the American [G] flag. _ _ _
[C] _ _ Oh, Betsy [G] Ross.
_ [D] _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Oh, [C] Eisenhower, he's a Russian spy, [D] Lincoln, Jefferson, and that Roosevelt [C] guy.
To my knowledge, there's just one [D] man that's really a true American.
[G] _ _ _ [C] George Lincoln Rockwell.
_ _ [G] _ [D] I know for a fact he hates commies because he did the movie Exodus.
[G] _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ [D] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ I finally [C] started thinking straight when I [E] ran out of [D] things to investigate.
_ _ [G] Couldn't imagine doing anything else and [D] I'm home investigating myself.
[G] _
Hope I don't find [C] out anything.
_ _ [G] Good God.
