[Bb] _ [A] _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ _ [Bb] _ [A] _ _ [C] _
[Bb] _ [A] _ Naked, _ _ _ _
[Bb] _ [A] _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
[Bb] _ [A] _ _ [Ab] _ _ a sin, an army, [Dm] towel wrapped around my belly
Some of us weep, some of [Bb] us [Db] howl, knees turn to jelly
But next, _ [Bb] _ [Db]
next
_ I was just a child, a hundred [A] like me
I followed a naked body and [Dm] the naked body followed me Next, _ next
_ _ [Gm] I [C] was just a child [F] when my innocence was lost
[Bb] In a mobile army whorehouse
[A] A gift of the army free of cost
Next, [Bb] _ [A] _ next
[Bb] _ [A] _ _ [C] Next
[Bb] _
[A] _ [Abm] _ Me, I really [Dm] would have liked
_ A little bit of tenderness _
Maybe a word, [Bb] maybe a [Db] smile, maybe some happiness _
[Cm] [A] It _ _ [C] _ [A] _ _ _
[Ab] _ [Db] was not so tragic [Db] and heaven did not fall
[Cm] [A] But how much at the time I [Dm] hurted being there at all
_ _ Next, next
I still [C] recall the brothel trucks and [Bb] the flying [F]
flags
[Bb] The queer lieutenant's flop, that [A] arse is stinking with a [G] fit
_ [A] _ [Bb] _ [A] _ _
[Bb] Next
[A] _ _ _ [C] _ [Bb] _ [A] _ _
_ [Em] _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _
Wet head of my first kiss of gonorrhea
It [A] is his ugly voice that I forever hear
Next, next, next, next, next
A voice that stinks of whiskey, _ [Em] corpses and of mud
[A] The [Dm] voice of nations, the thick voice of blood
But that is all next, next, next, [D] next
[G] Since [C] then, each woman [F] I have turned into man
[Bb] They seem to lie [Gm] underneath my [A] skin _ _ _ _ _
Next, _ _ [Bb] _ [A] _ _ _ [C] _
[Bbm] [A] next
_ _ [Db] Hope that their [Em] cat and [Dm] pizzaz
Could hold each other's hands
They watch [Dm] me feeling, I tell them that they already [A] understand
[Bb]
[A] And _ _ _ [A] _ though I am not dreaming, in a voice dim, dry and [Ab] hollow
[A] I stand on endless [Dm] naked lines of the following and the following
Next, next, one day I'll _ [C] _ _
_ [F] _ thrive
[Gm] I'll do anything to get out of [A] life, to survive, not ever to be there
[Bb] _
[A] _ _ [D] [Bb] Next, [A] _ next
