Chords for Homer & Jethro - San Antonio Rose-Battle Of Kookamonga

_ _ Here's Homer and Jethro, ladies and gentlemen.
Thank you.
Hi, _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Gm] _ _ [G] Johnny Cash has got to be about the finest fella [D] in the world, ain't he?
He [Gb] really has.
_ _ _ [N] _
_ _ _ _ _ And he's married to June Carter.
Well, he's still a nice guy. _ _
I bet, John, I [Bb] bet you have a lot of laughs with her, don't you?
Yeah.
We're [N] going to do some songs now that we've had little or no success with. _
And we would like for you [Ab] folks to contribute to that success tonight.
Now, when we start this, we'd rather you wouldn't go into the thunderous applause like you do
when Johnny does his hits.
_ Would that be all right? _ _
[D] _ _ [G] We're going to do it [Bb] anyway. _ _
_ _ _ [Eb] _ _ [Bb] _ _ _
_ _ [Dm] Deep within my [Ab] heart, [Gm]
there's a smell of the _ rose [A] of [Gm] San Antonio.
_ And it caused a stir when they deported her.
[A] First she forgot [Bb] the Alamo. _
Oh, her hair [D] reminds [Eb] me of deep [Gm] sea.
[Bb] Not wild, [Am] not wavy.
It [Dm] just makes me [Bb] sick.
It was plain to see [D] [E] that [C] her anatomy [F] _
[Bb] [A] was beaten [Bb] with an ugly stick.
[G] She was [Am] picking [C] cotton in [D] old [G] Mexico [Abm] _ [G]
and plucking chickens to make some [Dm] dough.
Headed for the border, riding [Abm] on a horse.
[G] But then that cotton-picking chicken plucker came [Dm] across.
Out behind [Gm] the hot shop, there [C] we met and kissed.
[F] I tried to [Eb] get her a loan.
_ [Bb] Then I [Dm] took her out [A] in the moonlight and mist.
_ Rose by rose of San [F] Antonio.
_ _ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _
_ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ [Dm] _ _
_ [Am] _ [D] _ [C] _ [Bb] _ _ [Gm] _ _
_ _ _ _ [F] _ _ [Cm] _ [Gb]
Now old [Dm] Rose is gone and I've lost [G] my [A] love.
[G] And for [A] her kisses [Gm] I yearn.
_ Now I know [D] she's with [Eb] the [C] angels up above.
[F] [C] Oh, [A] she was just too [Gm] tough to burn.
_ _ [Bb] _ _
[Eb] _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _
Well, in 1959, [Cm] we took a little [F] hike with our scout [Gm] master down on Lake Anika night.
We took a little pizza [Eb] and we took some sauerkraut.
[Bb] Marching along together till we seen the girl scouts.
We're the boys in Camp Kookamonga.
And my descendants here are to study nature's ways.
We learn to make sparks by rubbing sticks together.
And if we catch some [F] girls, then we'll [Bb] set the woods ablaze.
[Dm] Well, we creeped up [Eb] to the water and we seen the girls are swimming.
[Dm] There must have been a [Bb] hundred of them [Dm] pretty young women.
We looked so [Eb] fine, even [Fm] the birds forgot to sing.
We laid down on the poison oak and didn't [Am] say a thing.
[B] We're the boys in Camp Kookamonga.
And my descendants here [Dm] are to study nature's ways.
We learn to make sparks by rubbing sticks together.
And if we catch some girls, then we'll set the [Bb] woods ablaze.
_ [Gm] _ _ [Am] _ [Gm] _ [D] _ [G] _
[Cm] _ [G] _ [E] _ _ [Eb] _ [Dm] _ _ [N] _
_ _ [Bb] _ [Am] _ [Gm] _ [F] _ [Eb] _ [Dm] _
[Cm] _ [Gm] _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ [E] _
[Eb] [Bb] Well, the counselor [G] said we [Fm] could take them by surprise if [Dm] we didn't say a word to [D] them.
What are you playing?
[Em] That's the [D] wrong piece.
I'll try this [Gm] now. _
_ [Cm] _ [Bb] _ _ [Eb] Well, the counselor said we could take them by [Dm] surprise if we didn't say [Gm] a word to them.
We looked them in the eyes.
We kept real [Cm] still and we had our eyes [F] aglue.
We seen how they were dressed.
They were swimming in the [D] wild.
They ran through the flowers and they ran through the [Dm] brambles.
And they ran through the bushes where a rabbit couldn't [Bb] go.
They ran so fast even we couldn't catch them.
From Lake Anikin [Dm] back all the way to Buffalo. _
_ Well, we marched around till everyone was pootin'.
[N] Rested for a minute and our forces we [Bb] regrouped.
Then we seen [Cm] the girls behind some [Gm] evergreens.
[F] Captured [G] by a company of United States [F] Marines.
[Gm] We're the boys from Camp Kookamonga.
And my descendants [Dm] here are to study nature's ways.
We learn to make sparks by rubbing girls' sticks.
_ _ _ _ What?
You said rubbing girls.
I know what I'm saying.
[N] _ _ You rub what you like together.
_ _ _ _ [Bb] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Here we go.
[F] [G] We're rubbing girls [F] together and if we catch some sticks then we'll set [Bb] the woods ablaze. _ _
