D C
I heard from a friend you'd been messing around
G D
With a cute little thing I'd been dating uptown
D C
Well I don't know if I like that idea much
G D
Well you'd better stay clear I might start acting rough
C G
You out of town guys sure think you're real keen
A D
Think all of us boys are homespun and green But that's
C G
wrong my friend so get this through your head
G D G
We're tough and we're Texan with necks good and red
Em D C
So it's Ki yi yippie yi yi You long hairs are sure gonna die
Em A D
Our American home was clean till you came
C D G
And kids still respected the president's name
Em D C
And the eagle still flew in the sky Hearts filled with national pride
Em A D
Then you came along with your drug-crazy songs
C D G C Am/B Am G
Goddamit you're all gonna die
D C
How dare you sit there and drink all our beer
G D
Oh it's made for us workers who sweat spit and swear
D C
The minds of our daughters are poisoned by you
G D
With your communistic politics and them negro blues
C G
Well I'm gonna quit talking and take action now
A D
Run all of you fairies clean out of this town
D G
Oh I'm dog tired of watching you mess up our lives
G D G
Spending the summertime naturally high
Em D C
So it's Ki yi yippie yi yi You long hairs are sure gonna die
Em A D
Our American home was clean till you came
C D G
And kids still respected the president's name
Em D C
And the eagle still flew in the sky Hearts filled with national pride
Em A D
Then you came along with your drug-crazy songs
C D Em Em G C Am/B Am G
Goddamit you're all gonna die, ...die, ..die.
