VERSE:
[D]So Richard Oaks gave[Dsus4] me a c[D]all
From San Francisco l[Bm]ate [A]in the f[G]all
He said it's going d[D]own[Dsus4] [D]
[D]He said we're gonna take the island
As a [Dsus4]monume[D]nt to the [Dsus2]smallpox bl[D]ankets
And the [Bm]bureaucrats
A[A]ll you got to do is c[G]ome along
Y[G]ou catch a bus tom[D]orrow[Dsus4] [D]
And if we d[G]ie there
Well at least we'll make a ch[D]oice[Dsus4] [D]
If we're f[G]ine there
We can tell the b[A]oys[Asus2] [A] [Asus2]
CHORUS:
That a l[A]ine in the sand

I hear s[D]irens down the street from the[Dsus2] 3rd shift bar
I'm gonna [D] park my car in the p[Bm]ainted off pl[A]ace
Where the b[G]ikers park
See what happens t[D]hen[Dsus4] [D]
