I signed up to serve my country, and
 I mean it when I say:
    F                              
I'm proud to do my duty for the 
        C
good ol' USA.

They sent me to an island in the 
Caribbean sea,
       F                         
But it ain't no pearl at all, its 
                       C
just another place to be.
      Am               G6     
And I wonder what I'll do again 
    Fmaj7
tonight,
     Am             G6            
Maybe have a couple beers and try 
  F            G
to keep out of fights..
            C
And I don't wanna bust your bubble, 
I don't wanna bring you down,
   F                               
But out here in GTMO, its the only 
        C    F  C
game in town.

They promised us new gear, and they 
promised us new boots,
     F                           
They promised in 4 months we'd be 
                   C
replaced by new recruits.

I got here in January, thinking I'd 
be home by spring,

        F                        
Now its lookin' like I'll need to 
                       C
buy a Cuban christmas tree.
Am         G6                  
 Oh Santa, won't you come this 
Fmaj7
way...
Am             G6       
 Do you need directions to 
       F      G
Guantanamo Bay?
        C
I don't wanna bust your bubble, I 
don't wanna bring you down,
   F                               
But out here in GTMO, its the only 
        C    F  C

They got the army, navy, air force, 
and United States marines,
           F                       
Hell, they even got the Coast Guard
                      C
 looking out for submarines.

Its a homely girl's paradise, that's
 what they're tellin' me,
    F                              
But homely's just a state of mind, 
                       C
they both look good to me.
Am               G6            
 Jumpin' off the cliffs into a shark
Fmaj7
 infested bay,
Am           G6              F  
Dodging jellyfish, its just 
               G
another fun filled day.

There's 4000 Cubans on the north 
side of the fence,
     F                          
Just waitin' for a chance to put 
                       C
their training to the test.

Sometimes I wish they would man, and
 I'd give that exam.
     F                             
It'd show em how we do it, when we 
                C
fight for Uncle Sam.

  Am            G6          Fmaj7
I wonder if the people back home
    Am    G6     F               
Have any idea at all where we've

gone.
            C
And I don't wanna bust your bubble, 
I don't wanna bring you down,
