Don't Give Us a Reason

A                D
 Hey old Saddam, you figured wrong
         A                                  E
When you thought the whole world would back down,
            A                           D
And let you take all the oil and rape Kuwait and plunder and spoil.
    A             E
Let sleeping dogs lie,
                A
Don't give us a reason.


       A                     D
'Cause people in the USA are not really afraid,
        A                                   E
Of your starving army and all your wore out tanks.
           A                                             D
And if you take some innocent lives, that's when the fur's gonna really fly,
              A           E
Hey man, back off and get smart,
                A
Don't give us a reason.



                D                          A
Don't give us a reason to come gunnin' for you,

'Cause the odds don't look so good,
         B7           E
And your neck is in a noose.
           A                         D
'Cause the Eagle and the Bear make a mighty strong pair,
    F#m
And my advice is:
E                A
 Don't give us a reason.



             A                 D
When all our people over there know that we all care,
             A                                        E
Now that's a situation old Saddam, you don't wanna be in...
          A
'Cause if you do something stupid,
            D
We're gonna come down hard on ol' Cupid (??)
           A                      E
You better think this one all the way out,
      A
Don't give us a reason.



                D                          A
Don't give us a reason to come gunnin' for you,

'Cause the odds don't look so good,
         B7           E
And your neck is in a noose.
          A                                   D
Yeah, you picked on your little neighbour, so do yourself a favour:
    F#m        E
Get out and go home,
                    A
And don't give us a reason.


A                                                     D
 Yeah, we've heard all your threats, and you're gonna threat yourself to death.
A             E                A
 My advice is, don't give us a reason.
                                  D
You can take that poison gas, and stick it in your sassafras,
A         E                A
 Ha ha ha, don't give us a reason.
                                        D
I'd like to find out just for fun, just how fast those camels can run,
  A           E      A
I tell ya son, don't give us a reason.
                                                 D
'Cause the desert ain't Vietnam, and there ain't nowhere to run,
                A
And we got some REAL top guns,
E                A
 Don't give us a reason.
