Red Alert
Transcribed by Matthew Choat moc0007@gmail.com
Intro with harmonica in G:
G----Em-C-D-Em-C-----C-B-A-G
Em—C-G-Em-C-----C-B-A-G
Verse 1
Em C G Em
Well, they call me Bones and I'm third in command
C C B A G
Second in line is a man I just can't stand
Em C G Em
He's a green blooded, pointy-eared, seven year itch
C C B A G
And when he pon farrs He'll try to make me his bitch
Chorus:
D C G
Well, I may or may not have divorced my wife
But I damn sure pulled the plug on my daddy's life
And two months later, well, they found a cure
Em C D G
I'm just an old country doctor on a damned five year tour
(harmonica lead in)
Em C D G
Verse 2: (same chord pattern as verse 1)
The damned teleporter
Yeah, it gives me the creeps
The first time I used it
I couldn't get it up for weeks
Now my tricorder's busted
And sick bay just stinks
I guess I'll just go replicate me a drink
(Repeat Chorus)
Verse 3
Well, Jim is the captain of this here ship
We call her the Enterprise, and the crew's pretty hip
Yeah, the girls all wear go-go boots and miniskirts
And I spend my days patching all the red shirts
(electric guitar in)
D C G
Well, I have been asked to do many a thing
Outside the area of my expertise
Damn it Jim, I know I've told you before
Damn it Jim, I know I've told you before
Damn it Jim, damn it Jim, I told you before
Em C D G
I'm just an old country doctor on a damned five year tour
Just an old country doctor on a damned five year tour
(harmonica lead out)
