G
It glistens in the D desert sun, come C see come look G everyoneThey call it
Bm the C Taco D CurtainCome
G see what our D hands have built, col C lectivately G without guiltThey
Bm call it C the D Taco G Curtain
Chorus
The C wind D blows Em free
Pushing C grains of sand
D
Between the G cracks, across the Em landLike the
C tide D flowing from the G sea
G
The Indian of the pa D cific coast C lost the land he G loved the mostThe mis
Bm sions spead C north past Monte D ryThen
G piece by piece the D fence went up di C viding land still G has not stoppedThey
Bm call it C the D Taco G Curtain
Chorus
The C wind D blows Em free
Pushing C grains of sand
D
Between the G cracks, across the Em landLike the
C tide D rushing from the G sea
G
River flowing D deep and wide can't C keep them on the G other sideBm
Hunger era C ses all D boundsSo we
G draw a line D upon the sand and C hope they will un G derstandThey
Bm call it C the D Taco G Curtain
Chorus
The C wind D blows Em free
Pushing C grains of sand
D
Between the G cracks, across the Em landLike the
C tide D rushing from the G seaC
Like the D tide rushing from the G sea

(dropped D tuning)
D
I bought Bull Durham A7 in a bag and G rolled a ciga D retteI swallowed liquor
A7 from a jar, it was G burning hot and D wetI
G found a woman to share the night and left my soul be D hindI walk the path well
A7 worn by men and G follow as if I'm D blind
Chorus
At
G seventeen and on the road and livin life a D loneIt's
A7 tough enough G growin up, without a D homeI'll
G ride the rails to North Dakota and work out in the D fieldWhen the
A7 winter winds G begin to blow I'll pray my soul is D healed
I put a pinch of
A7 snooze G in between my D cheekThe taste is hard and
A7 bitter but G God forbid I'm D weakI'm
G standing here in my place amongst the other D menI grew up once and
A7 did it wrong, I G can't do that D again
Repeat Chorus
I headed south
A7 on the train and G left the snow D behindI knew what I
A7 had to do, G knew what I had to D findI
G stood in the vestibule and I spit just one last D timeI stepped from the
A7 path of men, at G last my life was D mine
Final Chorus
At
G seventeen and on the road and livin life D aloneIt's
A7 tough enough G growin up, without a D homeI
G rode the rails to North Dakota and worked out in the D fieldWhen the
A7 winter winds G began to blow,I found my soul had
D healed

Ta Rah Rah Pepper Spray

1996 A.E. & P.P. PFLAGER
(to the tune of Ta Rah Boom De Ay)
chorus
Ta rah rah boom de ay
Have you been pepper sprayed
Have you been bad today
Did you get in the way
It'll take your breath away
And on your belly you'll lay
Until you pass away
When you've been pepper sprayed
It's safer than a gun
And really much more fun
Spray it on everyone
Then watch em try to run
repeat chorus
Protesting not allowed
In an unruly crowd
Soon as they get too loud
Spray it in a giant cloud
If you dare exercise
Your first amendment rights
We think we're justified
To spray it in your eyes
-------------------------------------------
Ta Rah Rah Boom Tee Dude
No matter what they use
When they want you removed
They sure do treat you rude
Ta Rah Rah Boom Tee Babe
The National Guard I say
Will not be far away
Ta Rah Rah Rah Boom Boom Boom

All men are liars --- except me

He whispered sweet things into her earThe
B7 kind of things girls like to hearE
He said she shodda known it was a lineBut she
Dd7 took the hook and F#7 she was mine

All men are liars --- except me
