D D7 C I heard from a friend you'd been messing around - G D D7 with a cute little thing I'd been dating uptown. C Well I don't know if I like that idea much. G D D7 Well you'd better stay clear I might start acting rough. C G You out of town guys sure think you're real keen. A7 D Think all of us boys here are - homespun and green. C G But that's wrong my friend so get this through your head: Dm/F D7 G We're tough and we're Texan with necks good and red. Chorus: Em D C So it's Ki yi yippie yi yi. You long hairs are sure gonna die. Em A7 D7 D Our American home was clean till you came. C D G C G And kids still respected the president's name. Em D C And the eagle still flew in the sky. Hearts filled with national pride. Em A7 D Then you came along with your drug-crazy songs. C D G God-damit you're all gonna die. How dare you sit there and drink all our beer Oh it's made for us workers who sweat spit and swear The minds of our daughters are poisoned by you With your communistic politics and them negro blues Well I'm gonna quit talking and take action now Run all of you fairies clean out of this town Oh I'm dog tired of watching you mess up our lives Spending the summertime naturally high Chorus: So it's Ki yi yippie yi yi You long hairs are sure gonna die Our American home was clean till you came And kids still respected the president's name And the eagle still flew in the sky Hearts filled with national pride Then you came along with your drug-crazy songs Goddammit you're all gonna die Goddammit you're all gonna die Oh Lord Goddammit you're all gonna die Listen now You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsAm  A7  C  D  Dm  D7  Em  F  G  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
