[Verse]
Am
Here I am again in the ship's post office
G
I want to send a telegram
Bm
Send it to the captain
Em
Asking where the hell I am

[Verse]
Am
I've been on this luxury cruise
G
For twenty five years or more
Bm
And I've just begun to wonder
Em
Where we're headed for

[Chorus]
G D Am
And the Band keeps playing American songs from 1973
G D
Getting wise to the officer's lies
Am
That we've even got a country
G D
You say we're independent
Am
And we've even got the right to choose
G D
Well we're sick of doing nothing
D
We'd like some work
D
We'd like some work
D
We'd like some work to do

[Instrumental]
Am G Em G Am G Am
Am
Swimming pools, the cocktail parties
G
You keep us plied with drink
Bm
But when we cruised through South East Asia
Em
It made us stop and think
A
We never take on passengers
G
Though we seem to have lots of room
Bm
And I can't escape the notion captain
Em
That this is a floating tomb

[Chorus]
G D Am
And the Band keeps playing American songs from 1973
G D
Getting wise to the officer's lies
