       Am                           E7
I can get you what you want at the market
                          Am   F
As long as you have the price
                    C        Bm7b5
The colonel is the governor
                   E7
He steals from his own supply
     Am                     E7
The Jail house is full of small fry
                     Am   Am/G  F
Who never did much wrong
                   C
All the big fish swam away
E7        Am
All long gone


C    Dm7  G
All long gone
Am   F    G
All long gone
C    Dm7  G
All long gone
Am   F    E7              Am
All long gone - all long gone


       Am                              E7
I can get you what you want at the market
                    Am   F
Everybody’s on the make
                    C        Bm7b5
The colonel is the governor
                E7               Am
And he’s on a slice of the cake
                     E7
And everyone in this occupied land
           Am   Am/G  F
is on the game
                  C          E7
And over here in contraband
          Am
It’s the same


C    Dm7  G
All long gone
Am   F    G
All long gone
C    Dm7  G
All long gone
Am   F    E7              Am
All long gone - all long gone


  Am
Chief cook and bottle washer

That’s me
Dm6      Am
I’m the man

So many people to see
 Dm6   Am
Contraband

Chief cook and bottle washer

That’s me
Dm6      Am
I’m the man
             G
What do you do
  F7            E7
What do you do
                 Am
You do what you can

C
             G/B
There’ll be rain
 C Dm       G
behind the wind
 Am        F       G    C/G
Last night it was cold
      G/B  C  Dm        G
And when   it all caves in
E/G#  Am    F   E7
I’ll tell them

I only did what I was told
