Bomb New Jersey keyboard

Bomb New Jersey

• C

So I'm a huge Voltaire fan and one of my favourite songs by him is "Bomb New Jersey" from is 2007 
album Ooky Spooky. I couldn't find the chords for this so I played around and discovered this 
really simple way to play the song. So here it is, I hope this works! :)
This is my first ever chords.

Capo 5

C                 G
There's a magical land I know
  C             G
A place where I grew up
    C                        G
And I'd make a deal with the devil himself
   C                    D
To see that place blown up
C                         G
There in that interesting land I know
      C            G
Where no one has a brain
     C                       G
They all wear jeans that are acid-washed
        C              D
And yet they think I'm insane
*pause*

        G                    
I would get down on my knees and service the Japanese
        C
'Till I reek of old sushi but please
         G
Bomb New Jersey
        
I would happily kowtow to my new leader, Chairman Mao
        C
I would even learn Chinese, just please
         G
Bomb New Jersey

D        G
Bomb New Jersey
D        G
Bomb New Jersey

        G         
I would go tell Jong Ill Kim that they're making fun of him
     C
In a Kimchi-hating town that's known
       G
As New Jersey
 
Better yet I've got a plan, I will convince Pakistan
     C
That India can be found somewhere
       G
In New Jersey

    C                       G
New Jersey is a place where I grew up
     C                        G
They pelted me with rocks and garbage
             C                          G
I guess it’s tough to be a fruit in the Garden State
           C                                   D
And if you have a sexy girlfriend then they're doubly irate

           G 
Oh I would climb a rocky crag and plant a Russian flag
     C
On a smoldering hole once known
       G
As New Jersey
            
Oh it would be a tragic loss if both Bon Jovi and the Boss
    C
Are somewhere out of state when the Danes
         G
Nuke New Jersey

       C                   G
It's a place named after a sweatshirt
        C              G
So what more can you expect, sir?
           C                          G
And if you try to express you're individuality
          C 
They will throw you to the ground
            D
And they'll kick you in the teeth
D                D
Like they did to me

    C                G
The bombs go down on Morristown
    C               G
And Trenton's up in flames
C                      G
Newark we drowned then burned it down
    C                          D
But Elizabeth still smells the same
     C                    G
Many butts will breach on Monmouth Beach
      C                 G
We'll erase Orange from site
    C                    G
But before we leave this land I loathe
  C       D          G
I bid New Jersey goodnight
