B, E, B, E

            B                               
Did you read the Sunday paper
                E
about the strong stomached 25
        B
Who from an expedition
E
All came back alive
B
From that hostile country
          E
Where only the stones survive
     D              A         F#           B      E,B,E
On Heikki's suburbia bus tour one.

B
Picture-taking tourist
      E
The war was half a deal
       B
The natives can't believe it
   E
It all seems so unreal
B
Just to ask the question,
E
Now how does it feel
     D              A           F#         B        E,B,E
On Heikki's suburban bus tour ride


       D                         A                  F#                         A
Two thousand seven hundred fifty two un-scheduled stops
D                             A                      F#                   B         E,B,E
Watch them kill the crabgrass, but look out for the cops


Hospitals for flowers
The matron ladies cry
Itchy trigger fingers
as our caravan walks by
Overcrowded laughter
'cause they're all four gallons high
On Heikki's suburbia bus tour ride

Read the Sunday paper
though you may disagree
About the maiden voyage of poets A to Zee
None confuse to answer
That happiness is free
On Heikki's suburbia bus tour ride.
