Verse:
CFCAm
When I was a young man I carried my pack
CGC
And lived the free live of the rover
CFCAm
I smoked on sativa, guitar on my back
CGC
And played my little songs all over
Pre-chorus:
GFC
But in two-thousand-ten my country said: 'Son
GFC
It's time to stop rambling, there's work to be done.'
CFCAm
And they gave me a tin hat, and they gave me a gun
CGC
And they flew me away to the war
Chorus:
AmF/CC
And the DJ played Miley Cyrus,
AmF/CC
'A Party In The USA'
AmF/CC
Yeah, the DJ played Miley Cyrus,
CGC
And we flew to the Afghan that day
Break:
CGC
Verse:
CFCAm
I remember the day our orders came in
CGC
I was scared, my stomach was sinking
CFCAm
And when Martinez got shot I cried with my gun, Pow
CGC
And I fired right back without blinking
Pre-chorus:
GFC
And we moved down the range, we pumped ourselves well
GFC
We chased them with bullets, we showered them with shells
CFCAm
And in ten minutes flood we blown them to hell
CGC
I thought of my mum in Atlanta
Chorus:
AmF/CC
Because she always loved Miley Cyrus,
AmF/CC
'A Party In The USA'
AmF/CC
Though the words seemed to take on new meaning
CGC
As I turned nineteen on that day
Break:
CGC
Verse:
CFCAm
I looked at my brothers who'd once been young boys
CGC
And their eyes have gone black from the slaughters
CFCAm
And for ten weary weeks I kept myself for life
CGC
As we moved down the range towards the water
Pre-chorus:
GFC
But then one day a shell knocked my ass over head
GFC
And when I woked up in my hospital bed
CFCAm
And when I saw what it had done I wished I was dead
CGC
I never knew there were worse things than dying
Chorus:
AmF/CC
And the nurses hummed Miley Cyrus,
AmF/CC
As the doctors explained what was wrong
AmF/CC
Yeah, the nurses hummed Miley Cyrus,
CGC
But I no longer cared for that song
Break II:
CGCCFCAmCGC
Verse:
CFCAm
They collected the wounded, the crippled, the maimed
CGC
And they flew us all home to Atlanta
CFCAm
The armless, the legless, the blind and the insane
CGC
I wore fatigues and blood red bandanas
Pre-chorus:
GFC
We landed on the same runway we'd lefted on February
GFC
And when I looked down where my legs used to be
CFCAm
I thanked God that no one was waiting for me
CGC
To grieve and to mourn and to pity
End-chorus:
AmF/CC
And the DJ played Miley Cyrus, again
AmF/CC
'A Party In The USA'
AmF/CC
And no one cheered they just stared at us
CGC
And slowly turned their heads away
CGC
Yes, they slowly turned their heads away
