C Bb
I heard from a friend you'd been messing around with a

F C
cute little thing I'd been dating uptown. Well,

C Bb
I don't know if I like that idea much. Well, you

F C
better stay clear, I might start acting rough. You

Bb F
out of town guys sure think you're real keen. Think

G C
all of us boys are homespun and green. But that's

Bb F
wrong my friend, so get this through your head. We're

F C F
tough and we're Texan with necks good & red. So it's

Dm C Bb
Ki yi, yippie yi yi, You long hairs are sure gonna die

Dm G C
Our American home was clean till you came and

Bb C F Bb F
kids still respected the president's name.... And the

Dm C Bb
eagle still flew in the sky, hearts filled with national pride. Then

Dm G C
you came along with your drug-crazed songs.... God

Bb C F Bb F

C Bb
How dare you sit there and drink all our beer. Oh, it's

F C
made for our workers who sweat, spit and swear. The

C Bb
minds of our daughters are poisoned by you, with your

F C
communistic politics and them Negro blues. Well, I'm

Bb F
gonna quit talking and take action now. Run

G C
all of you fairies far [clean] out of this town. Oh, I'm

Bb F
dog tired of watching you mess up our lives.

C F
Spending the summertime naturally high. Well, it's

Dm C Bb
Ki yi, yippie yi yi You long hairs are sure gonna die.

Dm G C
Our American home was clean till you came. And

Bb C F Bb F
kids still respected the president's name... And the

Dm C Bb
eagle still flew in the sky, hearts filled with national pride.

Dm G C
Then you came along with your drug-crazed songs. God

Bb C Dm
*** It! You're all gonna die God

Bb C Dm
*** It! You're all gonna die. God

Bb C F Bb F
*** It! You're all gonna die.
