 Every night 
G         Em 
 In Jungletown 
Am       C              G        D5 E 
 All the boogies in the street 
Am  F 
 Radios

 Turned up very loud

 This English girl from the North somewhere 
Am          C             G       D5 E 
 Is stayin' with me at my place 
Am           F 
 Drinkin' up all my beer 
G                      Em 
Talkin' about the poor niggers all the time 
F 
   It's a real disgrace, she says 


BRIDGE 
Am           F                         G 
 I tell her, Darling, don't talk about things 
               Em 
You don't understand 
Am           F   
 I tell her, Darling, don't talk about something 
G                        Em 
You don't know anything about 
Am           F  
 I tell her, Darling, if you don't like it here 
   G                Eb-5 
Go back to your own miserable country

 Oh, the boys on the beach are still blowin' 
Am/D            Am7M/D               Am7/D   Am7M/D 
 And the summer wind still kicks the clouds around

MIDDLE 8 
F 
  You know my little brother, babe 
Am 
  Well, he works out at the diamond mine 
F 
  I drove him out there at five this mornin' 
Am 
  The niggers was waitin' in a big long line 
Fadd#11 
  You know those big old lunch pails they carry, man 
      Am 
With a picture of Star Wars painted on the side 
         Fadd#11 
They were starin' at us real hard with their big ugly yellow eyes 


BRIDGE 
         | Am F |  G     Em | 
You could feel it   This time ... 
         | Am F |  G     Eb-5 | 
You could feel it

It's Christmas in Cape Town but it ain't the same

Am/D        Am7M/D              Am7/D                 Am7M/D 
 And little kids on skateboards cut in and out of the crowd

VERSE 
Am               F                 G 
 Myself, I don't like to drink the way 
           Em 
I used to, man, you know 
Am                C              G   D5 E 
 It don't seem to get me high 
Am                  F 
 And the beer don't taste the way it 
         G               Em 
Ought to taste somehow 
      F 
And I don't know why 


BRIDGE 
Am             F            G 
 Don't talk to me about the planes 
          Em 
Man, I've heard it 
Am           F             G    D5 E 
 Just take a look around 
Am                 F 
 What are we gonna do 
            G          Em 
Blow up the whole damn country? 
Fadd#11
