[Verse 1]
D           E
I ride on a horse
A
thru' the dawn
D           E
I ride on a horse
    A
I'm dead and gone
D             E
you taste the gasoline
     A
with rabbits in
D                    E
you pray against the law
E
so it's sin.

[Verse 2]
D           E
That is the song
          A
that must be sung
D             E
these are the works
     A
that must be done
D           E
that is the sung
     A
that must be sung
D             E
these are the works
     A
that must be done.

[Verse 3]
D          E
He makes a lot of noice
A
'cause he's a nut
D          E
he built a groggy mountain
   A
in Beirut
D            E
we'd like to sing
              A
another dirty song
D
but we don't
  E
because the captain says
E
it's wrong.


[Chorus]
D
Yama yama hey

[Verse 4]
D
we don't
  E
because the captain says
A          D
it's wrong
    A
you have your busband
A
sitting at the door
D           E
you want to kick his mouth
    A
and what is more
D                       E
they'll spoil about ten yards
E
to sing this song.
