Verse 1
(G major) (C major) (G major)
When I was feeling
sad and (C major) kind of blue
I (D major) didn't know what I was gonna do
The (G major) communists were (C major) com
in' around
They were (D major) in the air,
they were on the ground
and they were all over. (G major) (C major) (D major) (G major) (C major) (D major)
(G major)
So I ran down most (C major) hurriedly
and joined (D major) the John Birch Society,
I (G major) got me a secret (C major) membership card,
(D major) went back to my backyard,
started looking on the sidewalk (G major)
beneath the rose (C major) bush (D major) (G major)
well I was looking everywhere
for them (C major) gold darn reds,
I (D major) got up in the morning
I looked under my bed,
looked behind the kit (G major) chen,
behind (C major) the door,
even (D major) taller as the kitchen floor.
I couldn't find any.
(G major) (C major) (D major) (G major)
Verse 2
I looked beneath the sofa,
(C major) beneath the chair,
(D major) looking for them reds
everywhere.
(G major) I looked way up my chimney (C major) hole,
even deep (D major) down inside my toilet bowl.
I got away. (G major) (C major) (D major) (G major) (C major) (D major)
(G major) I
heard some footsteps
by the front (C major) porch door,
so I (D major) grabbed my shotgun from the floor.
I snuck (G major) around the house
with a (C major) huff and a hiss,
saying, (D major) hands up, you communist.
It was a mailman. (G major)
He punched (C major) me out (D major) (G major) (C major) (D major)
(G major)
Well I quit my job so I (C major) could work alone
I got (D major) a magnifying glass
like Sherlock Holmes
Follow (G major) ing some clues from
(C major) my detective bag
(D major) I discovered there was red
stripes stripes
and the American flag (G major)
(C major) Did you know about Betsy
Ross? (D major) (G major) (C major) (D major) (G major)
Well I was sittin' home alone
and I (C major) started to sweat
I (D major) figured they was in my television set
I (G major) peeked behind the picture (C major) frame
I got a (D major) shock from my feet
that hit my brain
Them reds did it (G major)
The ones (C major) on the hook nanny (D major) (G major) (C major) (D major)
(G major)
Well, I finally started (C major) thinkin' straight
When I (D major) run out of things to
investigate
(G major) I couldn't imagine doin' (C major) anything else
So (D major) now I'm at home investigatin' myself
I hope I don't find out too much
(G major) Good God!
