Gene Parsons Sonic Bummer written by Gene Parsons
F
I called the big man at the field
And I told him what he'd done
He laughed and said "Go back to bed,
Eb
My boys just having fun
Bb F
My boys just having fun"
F
I said, "First you killed my chickens
Then you wiped out all my sheep"
He said, "Don't you know we're protecting you
Eb
Now go on back to sleep",
Bb F
He said, "Go on back to sleep"
Sonic booms they killed my chickens
A sonic boom well it treed my cow
[ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/g/gene-parsons/127956.html ]
Sonic booms bust my dishes
Eb
Them jets are bound to get me now
Bb F
Them jets are bound to get me now
F
So if you were yelled at as a boy
For slamming your screen door
And swore that you'd get back at Mom
Eb
If it took ten years or more
Bb F
If it took ten years or more
F
Well you can join the men that fly at night
And protect us while we sleep
You can make a boom that'll kill your Mom
Eb
And she'll never make a peep
Bb F
No she'll never make a peep
Bb F
A sonic boom shocked my horses
Bb F
Sonic boom squashed my goats
Bb F
Sonic boom'll fry your brain
Eb
Until you want to slit your throat
Bb F
Until you want to slit your throat
Bb F
A sonic boom shocked my horses
Bb F
Sonic boom squashed my goats
Bb F
Sonic boom'll fry your brain
Eb
Until you want to slit your throat
Bb F
Until you want to slit your throat
