[VERSE 1]
On a [C]hot summer's evenin' in a [F]bar room in Ov[C]ambo
I was talking to a heavy with experience by the [G]heaps
And [C]as I sat there listning to the [F]stories of his [C]contacts
I was stariing at him wide-eyes, as he [G]quitely s[C]peaks

[VERSE 2]
He said, [C]"Son, I've made a life out of [F]hunting' SWAPO [C]turkeys
and knowin' what the odds are I know where the danger [G]lies
If [C]you don't mind me sayin', I [F]know more [C]you can think [G]of
If you [C]buy me another whiskey I'll [G]give you some ad[C]vice"

[VERSE 3]
So I [C]ordered him a another and he [F]drank it with one [C]swallow
He put his fingers on his chest, on the scars of his [G]fights
And his [C]face was very serious, as he [F]put his empty [C]glass gown
"You're gonna play the game, boy, you [G]better learn to play it [C]right"

[CHORUS]
You've got to [C]know when to hit them, [F]know when you [C]beat them
Stay alive to walk away and know where to [G]run
You'll never [C]count your kills while [F]waiting in an [C]ambush
There'll be time enough for countin' [G]when the shooting's [C]done

[Verse 5] - Key Change
[D]Ev'ry hand should know that the [G]secret to sur[D]vival
is stinking like the enemy and beat them to the [A]draw
Better [D]wake up Buddy, [G]dont think like a [D]loser
SWAPO'll take your hide off, and nail it to the [A]floor

[VERSE 6]
[D]When he'd finished speakin', he turned back to the barman
swigged down a double [A]round, [D]staggered into the [A]night
And the [D]heavy died of alchohol, in the [G]darkness of Ov[D]ambo
Never warned me about the Whisky, but he [A]taught me how to [D]fight

[CHORUS]
You've got to [D]know when to hit them, [G]know when you [D]beat them
Stay alive to walk away and know where to [A]run
You'll never [D]count your kills while [G]waiting in an [D]ambush
There'll be time enough for countin' [A]when the shooting's [D]done

[OUTRO]
You've got to [D]know when to hit them, [G]know when you [D]beat them
Stay alive to walk away and know where to [A]run
You'll never [D]count your kills while [G]waiting in an [D]ambush
There'll be time enough for countin' [A]when the shooting's [D]done
