The Draft Dodger Rag Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]I'm[A] ju[D]st [G]a typical American
[A]from a typical American town
I be[D]lieve in God and Senator Todd
and a- keeping old Castro [G]down
And when it came my time to serve
[A]I knew "better dead than red"
But [D]when I got to my old draft board, buddy,
this is what I [G]said:

[Verse 2]
[Chorus:] Sarge, [G]I'm
only eighteen,
I got a ruptured spleen
And I [A]always carry a purse
I got [D]eyes like a bat,
my feet are flat and my asthma's getting [G]worse
Oh I think of my career, my sweetheart dear,
and my [A]poor old invalid aunt
Besides, I [D]ain't no [Dm]fool,
[D]I'm goin' to school
And I'm working in a defense [G]plant

[Verse 3]
I got a [G]dislocated disc and
a wracked up back
I'm al[A]lergic to flowers and bugs
And when [D]bombshells hit,
I get epileptic fits
And I'm addicted to a thousand [G]drugs
I got the weakness woes,
I can't touch my toes
I can [A]hardly touch my knees
And if the [D]enemy came close to me
I'd probably start to [G]sneeze[D][G]

[Interlude 1]
[A][Dm][D][G]
[A][D][G]
[Chorus] [D]I hate Chou

[Verse 4]
[G]
En Lai, and I hope he dies,
But one [A]thing you gotta see
That [D]someone's gotta go over there
But that someone isn't [G]me
So I wish you well, Sarge, give 'em Hell
Yeah [A]kill me a thousand or more
And if you [D]ever [Dm]get a war
without [D]blood and gore
Well I'll be the first to go

[Verse 5]
[Chor[G]us]

[Outro 1]
