[Verse 1]
G B C Am
Step right on up, take a good good look
D9 E Am
At the latest pie that fate could cook
C C#dim Ddim7 C#dim7 Cdim7 E
This is no phenom, so super-market gu--ru
A9 D7
Just a revelation from me to you
 
[Chorus 1]
G B C Am
So don't believe a thing that you might hear
D9 E Am
At least from the last 30-40 years
C C#dim Ddim7 C#dim7 Cdim7 E A9
'Cause it wasn't long ago just before the reign of Nero
A9 D7 D7 D9
We had no concept of zero
 
[Interlude]
Bm/D B7/D#
 
[Chorus 2]
Em Edim E Edim
So beware, children beware, the devil may care
G B Em
Six little soldiers with stripes on their shoulders
Em B
Never with a thought to dare
 
[Post-Chorus]
Em Edim
So take aim, children take aim
Em Edim
The drill sergeant sang,
G B
And with ample perspiration ordered stop your respiration
Em B Em
And end the flow of oxygen to the brain
 
[Verse 3]
G B C Am
So wake up, sleepyheads, listen what I have to say
Am E Am7
As you near - near your Independence Day
C C#dim D#dim7 C#dim7 Cdim7 E
Just keep in mind, in time .. you .. find so few
A9 D7
So few have your best interests in mind
 
[Chorus 1]
G B C Am
So don't believe a thing that you might hear
Am E Am
At least from the last 30-40 years
C C#dim Ddim7 C#dim7 Cdim7 E A9
'Cause it wasn't long ago just before the reign of Nero
A9 D7 D7 D9
We had no concept of zero
 
[Interlude]
Bm B7
 
[Ending]
Em Edim
So bewar-----e
Em Edim G B
The devil may --- care
Em B Em
And maybe he's the only one
