[INTRO]
[C] [Fm] [C]

[VERSE 1]
[C]Dear Kinky Friedman,[Fm] I read what you [C]wrote
Neville Chamberlain surrender monkeys - yup, that was your [G]quote
Well, we [Fm]all say stupid things sometimes, so here with my [C]blessing
[Fm]Kinky F[C]riedman[G] this is your history l[C]esson
[C]Chamberlain declared [C]war,[Fm] on the 3rd of [C]September
The US wasn't [C]involved, as I [G]remember
And after Poland [Fm]fell, then Belgium and F[C]rance
[Fm]Britain stood [C]alone with [G]barely a c[C]hance
We faced Hitler [E]down; he unleashed the [Am]blitz
A hundred nine e[E]levens that left London[Am] in bits
But we never caved i[F]n, Britain never surr[C]endered
No petition for [G]peace, Kinky, was ever fuckin' t[C]endered

[CHORUS]
Oh Kinky [F]Friedman
Dude quit your [C]messin'
And listen up [G]good
This is your history[C] lesson

[VERSE 2]
Roosevelt helped [C]us, [Fm]with armaments and fo[C]od
His vision was s[C]ure, and his policy g[G]ood
He'd have brought the[Fm] USA, into the war on our[C] side
[Fm]But the isol[C]ationists[G] , had both his hands ti[C]ed
Stay out, Stay O[E]ut was your public's de[Am]mand
Till the Japs hit Pearl Harb[E]our, and that forced yo[Am]ur hand
Then your boys fought like l[F]ions but so the hell did [C]ours
[Fm]Only an [C]asshole, K[G]inky, could call the British cow[C]ards

[CHORUS]
Oh Kinky [F]Friedman
Take some quiet time p[C]rocessing
These words of[G] mine
Your history [C]lesson

[VERSE 3]

[Fm]And here's a casualty count for you to muse upon, man[C]
Military personnel and civilians k[G]illed in the theatre of world war two
[C]USA: four hundred and nineteen thousand and[Fm] four hundred
Great Britain: [C]four hundred and fifty thousand and nine hundred
[G]And just to keep perspective
[C]USSR: twenty-seven million..[Fm] . or thereabouts
Yeah war is no [C]joke
And my friend you m[G]isspoke
Or so I'm guessin' [C]
But take this well, [F]Buddy
And may it ease your [C]soul
Kinky Frie[G]dman this has been
Your history l[C]esson
