Аккорды Tom T. Hall - Salute To A Switchblade

C
Me and Yates an army buddy of mine
     F                    G7             C
Were doing three years in Germany at the time
C
We came upon these Frauleins in the bar
           F                G7                 C
Yates said darf isch zee be-gleit-en they said ya
    G7                              C
And darf isch zee be-gleit-en means can we sit with you all

C
Oh we must have drunk ten quarts of German beer
   F                 G7           C
My conscience and my sinuses were clear
C
I asked that Fraulein if she was a spy
         F           G7             C
She said nein but do bis ain bissel high
     G7                         C
A condition not uncommon to the American soldier

C
Well later on I went to be excused
     F            G7           C
When I returned I was a bit confused
C
Yates and his Fraulein had hit the air
        F       G7            C
Another guy was sitting in my chair
  G7                          C
A young soldier whom we shall get to know better

C
I said excuse me Mister that's my seat
    F               G7              C
I'd like to have it back sir if you please
C
That girl's a nurse and I've been awful sick
    F                G7          C
The man looked up at me and said mox-nix
      G7                              C
Which means that he was not overly concerned with my health

C
Next thing I knew he had a switchblade knife
     F                  G7               C
Lord I didn't know that Fraulein was his wife
C
I took off through that Gasthaus like a fool
       F          G7           C
Behind me I heard the crashing stools
       G7               C
As the police would say he was in hot pursuit

C
Well the waitress yelled there's MPs on the way
       F               G7               C
That's one more reason I didn't want to stay
C
As I went out the window something went swish
      F               G7                  C
And I giggled all the way home knowing he missed
   G7                        C
At the time it seemed like a laughing matter

C
But next morning my coat was lying there on the bunk
    F               G7              C
And when I saw that coat it made me jump
C
That man had cut my coat right down the back
  F                   G7                     C
A little bit more and they'd been playing me taps
    G7                             C
And knowing the sad nature of that song I would decline it

C
Well later on I heard that guy got stabbed
     F                 G7                  C
They sent him home and didn't that make me glad
C
On love and marriage I want to say one thing
   F              G7                C
Oh lady if you're married wear that ring

        G7                    C
And the army has a new policy if you can't move it paint it
C                             G7
If it has a switchblade knife salute it
C
Not necessarily an incident one would want to write Mother about
G7                         C
Germany being full of good soldiers good people
