GI BLUES

[C]They give us a room with the view of the beautiful Rhine, [C7]
[F]They give us a room with the view of the beautiful [C]Rhine,
Gimme a [G7]muddy old creek in [F7]Texas any old [C]time

{chorus}
[C]I've got the hup, two, three, four, occupation GI blues [C7] (Gi blues)
From my [F]GI hair to the heels of my GI [C]shoes,
and if I [G7]don't go state-side [F7]soon, I'm gonna blow my [C]fuse.[F][G7]

We get hassenfeffer amd black pumpernickel for chow.
We get hassenfeffer amd black pumpernickel for chow,
I'd blow my next months pay for a slice of Texas cow.

We like to be heroes but all that we do here is march.
We like to be heroes but all that we do here is march,
And they dont give the purple heart for a fallen arch.

The Frauleins are pretty as flowers but we cant make a pass.
The Frauleins are pretty as flowers but we cant make a pass,
Cause they're all wearing signs saying "KeepenSie off the grass"

Note : Ending chord sequence for last chorus ends with [C][F][C]
       Also I play the F7's as F's, make's it easier.
