"Army (Dream Song)" Boiled in Lead Album: _Orb_ Words and music: Todd Menton

INTRO (single strokes): D D Em G F#m F#m D Em G F#m F#m F#m Bm A

In my dream I'm suddenly in the army And the army life is good But I'm ankle deep in blood So I went to see the quartermaster And the quartermaster said "Your socks are awful red"

I found the master sergeant I said "Sergeant, I am hurting I'm considering deserting." He said "Do whatever's in your conscience" So I tried to make a run But I was stapled to the gun

CHORUS: And the cannon were lined up all in a line Dark and cold They aimed them all straight upward And thunder rolled

REPEAT INTRO

I found the first lieutenant He said "God, they're going to bomb us >From their vicious flying llamas!" I dove into the llama shelter I became Charlotte Cordet And the battle fell away

But the peace that reigned in Upper Dreamland Was badly negated When the giant slugs invaded I turned to face my fine young officers I was barking out my orders When they crashed across the borders

CHORUS TWICE

Repeat intro chords, end on D
