And the ^Fband ^C7played ^Fon As the ^Fhelic^F5opters ^Gwhirred

^FDrunk on the ^C7lawn in a nuc^Flear ^Dmdawn My ^Fsenses ^Gfinally ^Fblurred

Verse:

^C7He was a ^Frock, to the ^F5end a solid remin^Fder Couldn't ^Dmdeny a f^C7riend

^C7We lived in the ^Fnoise and the ^F5sweet amber ^Fposion ^EmPeekin' up the skirt of the ^Fend

^C7And we'd ^Fdrink, ^F5two gnarly dudes and some ^Frecords Much like ^Dmplates of black ^C7food

^C7We filled up our ^Ffaces, ^F5saw some far ^Fplaces ^EmStood on the roof in the ^Fnude ^C7

-Chorus- Verse: Between poles, he said "we're like cows in the grass" Brushing off flies Chaise lounging around standing up, falling down 'Till we no longer opened our eyes And we'd drink, ever notice how drinking's like war Cup 'o' troops o'er the gums To the end of our health a campaign 'gaisnt myself Armed with bourons and scotches and rums -Chorus- Verse: Think of bombs, we're poised on the edge of disaster Whether it's right or it's wrong We opened the window, played some Nintendo Sang a few bars of some pretty old song:

^FIr^Fene ^Fgoodnight, ^GIrene ^Fgoodnight Goodni^Fght Irene ^C7goodnight^F Irene

I'll see yo^Fu in my^C7 dreams^F ^C7 Oh to dream, those impotent bones of extinction Flying graceful and free None but the best cause the man cannot rest 'Till he's finally beaten his me

-Chorus- Verse: 'Till the end, he passed out on the sun deck that morning Quietly saying goodbye But I was so hammered I sputtered and stammered Told him he couldn't just die He was a rock, went straight for his own armageddon Face froze in a grin Ambulance flyin' in I never drank again Can't really call that a loss or a win -Chorus-
