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

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

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

I got here in January, thinking I'd be home by spring,
Continues after the ad
        F                                               C
Now its lookin' like I'll need to buy a Cuban christmas tree.
Am         G6                  Fmaj7
 Oh Santa, won't you come this way...
Am             G6              F      G
 Do you need directions to Guantanamo Bay?
        C
I don't wanna bust your bubble, I don't wanna bring you down,
   F                                       C    F  C

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

Its a homely girl's paradise, that's what they're tellin' me,
    F                                                     C
But homely's just a state of mind, they both look good to me.
Am               G6            Fmaj7
 Jumpin' off the cliffs into a shark infested bay,
Am           G6              F                 G
Dodging jellyfish, its just another fun filled day.
        C
I don't wanna bust your bubble, I don't wanna bring you down,
   F                                       C    F  C

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

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

  Am            G6          Fmaj7
I wonder if the people back home
    Am    G6     F               G
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,
   F                                       C
But out here in GTMO, its the only game in town.

I don't wanna bust your bubble, I don't wanna bring you down,
