C            G           C            F
I've got two armfuls of magazines for you
C               G   C F
I'll bring them over
    C                 G       C              F
So hang your holiday rainbow lights in the garden
C                  G       C            E7/G#
Hang your holiday rainbow lights in the garden
     Am   G             E/G#      Am
And I'll, I'll bring a nice icy drink to you

C           F           Am        E7/G#       Am
Let me come over, I can waste your time, I'm bored
  Dm             Am        E7/G#         F
Invite me to the war every night of the summer
            C    F     Am  E7/G#    Am
And we'll play G.I. blood, G.I. blood
       Dm           Am          E7/G#
We'll stand by the pool, we'll throw out our
 F
golden arms

 C                F        C
Darling, can you tie my string?
 C           F           C
Killers are calling on me

Chorus:
Dm        C            G
My angel face is falling
Dm            C             G
Feathers are falling on my feet
Am                C        F
Darling, can you tie my string?
Am           C          F
Killers are calling on me

Stay near your, stay near your television,
set it up outside
And hang your holiday rainbow lights in the garden
Hang your holiday rainbow lights in the garden
And I'll, I'll bring a nice icy drink to you

Let me come over, I can waste your time, I'm bored
Invite me to the war every night of the summer
And we'll play G.I. blood, G.I. blood
We'll stand by the pool, we'll
throw out our golden arms

Darling, can you tie my string?
Killers are calling on me

Chorus:
My angel face is falling
Feathers are falling on my feet
My angel face is falling
Feathers are falling on my feet

Am                G        F
Darling, can you tie my string?
Am           G          F
Killers are calling on me
Am                G        F
Darling, can you tie my string?
Am           G          F
Killers are calling on me
