Artist: Hank Williams Jr.
[A] Hey old Saddam, [D]you figured wrong
When you [A]thought the whole world would back [E]down,
And let you [A]take all the oil and rape Ku[D]wait and plunder and spoil.
Let [A]sleeping dogs [E]lie,
Don't give us a [A]reason.
'Cause [A]people in the USA are [D]not really afraid,
Of your [A]starving army and all your wore out [E]tanks.
And if you [A]take some innocent lives, that's when the fur'[D]s gonna really fly,
Hey man, back [A]off and get [E]smart,
Don't give us a [A]reason.
Don't give us a [D]reason to come gunnin' for [A]you,
'Cause the odds don't look so good,
And your [B7]neck is in a [E]noose.
'Cause the [A]Eagle and the Bear make a [D]mighty strong pair,
And [F#m]my advice is:
[E] Don't give us a [A]reason.
When all our [A]people over there [D]know that we all care,
Now that's a [A]situation old Saddam, you don't wanna be [E]in...
'Cause if [A]you do something stupid,
We're gonna [D]come down hard on ol' Cupid (??)
You better [A]think this one all the [E]way out,
Don't [A]give us a reason.
Don't give us a [D]reason to come gunnin' for [A]you,
'Cause the odds don't look so good,
And your [B7]neck is in a [E]noose.
Yeah, you [A]picked on your little neighbour, so [D]do yourself a favour:
Get [F#m]out and go [E]home,
And don't give us a [A]reason.
[A] Yeah, we've heard all your threats, and you're gonna [D]threat yourself to death.
[A] My advice is,[E] don't give us a [A]reason.
You can take that poison gas, and [D]stick it in your sassafras,
[A] Ha ha ha,[E] don't give us a [A]reason.
I'd like to find out just for fun, just [D]how fast those camels can run,
I [A]tell ya son,[E] don't [A]give us a reason.
'Cause the desert ain't Vietnam, and there ain't [D]nowhere to run,
And we got some [A]REAL top guns,
[E] Don't give us a [A]reason.
