Cory Morrow - GTMO Blues
[F]INTR[C]O
I signed [C]up to serve my country, and I mean it when I say:
I'm [F]proud to do my duty for the good ol' US[C]A.
They sent me to an island in the Caribbean sea,
But it [F]ain't no pearl at all, its just another place to [C]be.
And I [Am]wonder what I'll [G6]do again to[Fmaj7]night,
Maybe[Am] have a couple [G6]beers and try to[F] keep out of [G]fights..
And I don't [C]wanna bust your bubble, I don't wanna bring you down,
But[F] out here in GTMO, its the only game in [C]town.[F][C]
They [C]promised us new gear, and they promised us new boots,
They [F]promised in 4 months we'd be replaced by new re[C]cruits.
I got here in January, thinking I'd be home by spring,
Now its [F]lookin' like I'll need to buy a Cuban christmas [C]tree.
[Am] Oh Santa, [G6]won't you come this [Fmaj7]way...
[Am] Do you need di[G6]rections to Guan[F]tanamo [G]Bay?
I don't [C]wanna bust your bubble, I don't wanna bring you down,
But[F] out here in GTMO, its the only game in [C]town.[F][C]
They got the [C]army, navy, air force, and United States marines,
Hell, they [F]even got the Coast Guard looking out for subma[C]rines.
Its a homely girl's paradise, that's what they're tellin' me,
But [F]homely's just a state of mind, they both look good to [C]me.
[Am] Jumpin' off the [G6]cliffs into a [Fmaj7]shark infested bay,
[Am]Dodging jelly[G6]fish, its just a[F]nother fun filled [G]day.
I don't [C]wanna bust your bubble, I don't wanna bring you down,
But[F] out here in GTMO, its the only game in [C]town.[F][C]
There's [C]4000 Cubans on the north side of the fence,
Just [F]waitin' for a chance to put their training to the [C]test.
Sometimes I wish they would man, and I'd give that exam.
It'd [F]show em how we do it, when we fight for Uncle [C]Sam.
I [Am]wonder if the [G6]people back [Fmaj7]home
Have[Am] any i[G6]dea at [F]all where we've [G]gone.
And I don't [C]wanna bust your bubble, I don't wanna bring you down,
But[F] out here in GTMO, its the only game in [C]town.
I don't wanna bust your bubble, I don't wanna bring you down,
But[F] out here in GTMO, its the only game in [C]town.
[F]Out here in GTMO, its the only game in [C]town.
