A                      D        E
Don't start me talking; I could talk all night.

A                        D          C#7
My mind goes sleepwalking while I'm putting the world to right.

F#m            B           F#m                  B       E  A
Called careers information.  Have you got yourself an occupation?
                                                           Oliver's
        D       E      A                 D        E
Army is here to stay.  Oliver's Army are on their way.

A     A/Ab    F#m       A/E      D    D/C#  E      A    D D/C# E6 E7
  And I would rather be anywhere else but   here today.

A                              D          E
There was a checkpoint Charlie, he didn't crack a smile.

A                          D                C#m
But it's no laughing party when you've been on the murder mile.

F#m            B              F#m                B          E
Only takes one itchy trigger, one more widow one less white nigger.

Abm            F#            E          Eb
  Hong Kong is up for grabs;  London is full of Arabs.

C#                F#         E              F#
   We could be in Palestine, overrun by the Chinese line

         E                            F#
with the boys from the Mersey and the Thames and the Tyne.

B                      E          F#           B
But there's no danger.  It's a professional career,

                                 E               Eb7             Abm
though it could be arranged with just a word in Mr. Churchill's ear.

                 C#                  Abm
If you're out of luck you're out of work

                   C#  F#    B    E  F#
We could send you to Johannesburg

B                E       F#    B                 E        F#
Oliver's Army is here to stay  Oliver's Army are on their way.
