[A] I'm a fan of soldiers with weapons, ready to go.

I find that highway, that's where no one [Am] knows.
The sun has come up, I walk the distance.
I can't get [A] used to it now.
[C] Living in Boston, living in the ghetto.
[A] I've lived all over this town.
[C] [E] There's been no party, no fooling around.
No time for dancing, I ain't got no soul to [A] drown.
Can't get the message to the BBC that, hope for [Am] an [A] answer someday.
[E] [Am] I got three-packed guts, I'm half full of beaters.
You don't [A] even know my real name.
[Em] [A] [Am] High on a hillside, the pots are floating.
[A] I'm [Am] lifting, ready to roll.
