GTMO Blues Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
I [F]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 old [C]USA.
They sent me to an island in
the Caribbean Sea,
but it [F]ain't no pearl at all,
it's just another place to [C]be.
And [Am]I wonder what I'll do [G]again tonight
[F]Maybe hav[Am]e a couple beers[G]
and try to [F]keep out of [G]fights
And I don't [C]want to bust your bubble
I don't want to bring you down
But [F]out here in Gitmo,
it's the only game in [C]town
[F]Yeah[C]
They promised us new gear,
they promised us new boots
They [F]promised in four months
we'd be replaced by new recruit[C]s
I got here in January,
[G]thinking [C]I'd be home by spring
Now it's [F]looking like I'll need to
buy a Cuban Christmas [C]tree
[Am]Oh Santa, wo[G]n't you come this wa[F]y
[Am]Do you need direct[G]ions
[F]to Guantanamo Bay
[G]I don't w[C]ant to bust your bubble
I don't want to bring you down
But [F]out here in Gitmo
It's the only game in [C]town[F]
[C]They got the Army, Navy,
Air Force
and United States Marines
Hell, they [F]even got the Coast Guard
lookin' out for [C]submarines
It's a homely girl's paradise,
[G]that's [C]what they're [G]tellin' [C]me
But [F]homely's just a state of mind,
they both look good to [C]me
[Am]Jumpin' off the [G]cliffs
into a [F]shark -infested bay
[Am]Dodgin' jellyfish,
[G]it's just anoth[F]er fun -filled day[G]
And I don't [C]wanna bust
your bubble,
I don't [G]wanna bring [C]you down
But [F]out here and gettin' on,
it's the only game in [C]town,
[F]yeah[C]
There's 4 ,000 Cubans
on the north side of the fence
Just [F]waiting for a chance
to put their training to [C]the test
[G]Sometimes [C]I wish they wouldn't,
I'd give that exam
And [F]show them how we do it
when we fight for Uncle Sam
[C]I wonder i[Am]f the pe[G]ople back ho[F]me
[C]have [Am]any i[G]dea at a[F]ll
where we've [G]gone
I don't [C]wanna bust your bubble,
I don't wanna bring you down
But [F]out here in Gitmo,
it's 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 Gettemo,
it's the only game in [C]town
[F]Out here in Gettemo,
it's the only game in [C]town
