This is a really easy song to play but also quite fun. The other 2 tabs for this
song are wrong, so I'm going to put you all out of your misery & give you a 100%
accurate version. Enjoy!
Capo 2nd Fret (all chords played as relative to the capo)
Standard Tuning
(intro)
(repeat once)
(verse 1)
Dont start that talking, I could talk all ni..ight
My mind is sleepwalking, while im putting the world to right
Called careers information, have you got yourself an occu..(pation)
(chorus)
Olivers Army is here to sta..y, Olivers Army are on their wa..y,
And I would rather be anywhere else, than here today
(verse 2)
There was a Checkpoint Charlie, he didn't crack a smile,
But it's no laughing party, when you've been on the murder mile,
Only takes one itchy trigger, one more widow, once less white nigger
(chorus)
Hong Kong is up for grabs, London is full of Arabs,
We could be in Palestine, overrun by the Chinese Line,
With the boys from the Mersey and the Thames and the Tyne.
But there's no danger, it's a professional career,
Though it can be arranged with just a word in Mr Churchill's ear,
If you're out of luck, or if you're out of work,
We can send you to Johannesburg
Olivers Army is here to stay, Olivers Army are on their way,
And I would rather be anywhere else than here today
And I would rather be anywhere else than here today
(Outro)
(repeat to fade)
