Well, good evening, friends, it's good to be back in the good old U.S.A.
D A B E
Where they make damn sure to keep all theirs wars thousands of mile away
A D A
For I've just been across the ocean, to see my family home
D A E A
And after what I saw there, I never more will roam
A D A
Well, give me a home where the Panthers roam and the Weathermen so free
D A B E
Take a walk in the dark round Central Park, it does not bother me
A D A
Tear the country in two, but whatever you do, I&rsquo ll stay right where I am
D A E A
For I do not want another trip to England's Vietnam

We arrived at Aldergrove, that's where the planes do go
D A B E
It used to be Nutts Corner, why they changed it, I just don't know
A D A
I was wearing a an army jacket, from Vietnam it came
D A E A
When a soldier stuck a gun in my ribs and he said, 'I know your game'
A D A
&ldquo Oh, where's your black beret?&rdquo he cried, &ldquo and your hurley stick, as well?&rdquo
D A B E
I hit him with my camera and like a stone he fell
A D A
I sent for a policeman to take this poor man away,
D A E A
Saying, this could never happen in the good old USA
A D A
Well, give me a home where the Panthers roam and the Weathermen so free

Take a walk in the dark round Central Park, it does not bother me

The policeman grabbed me by the arm saying, &ldquo Come along with me,
D A B E
For I can tell by the gleam in your eye that you hate democracy.'
A D A
You're a Trotskyist from the Kremlin, you're a Vatican anarchist spy
D A E A
You're a communist from China, a commie from the F.B.I.&rdquo
A D A
Well I know that I had to leave there, I&rsquo ll tell you what I done
D A B E
I slipped five dollars in his hand and I began to run
A D A
I walked the streets of Belfast, from the New Lodge to the Falls
D A E A
Watching the rubber bullets goin&rsquo bouncing off the walls
A D A
Well, give me a home where the Panthers roam and the Weathermen so free

Take a walk in the dark round Central Park, it does not bother me
