[Intro]
E D x4
[Verse]
D E
Reconnaissance on the corner
D E
In the old world not so far
D E
First we took an aeroplane
D E
Then a boat to Zanzibar
A
Queen cranking on the blaster
And Mercury did rise
E
Come along where we all belonged
You were yours and I was mine
[Instrumental]
E
[Chorus]
C A E C A
Had to,... Quick escape
B E C A
Had to,... quick escape
[Instrumental]
E D x4
[Verse]
D E
Crossed the border to Morocco
D E
Kashmir then Marrakesh
D E
The lengths we had to go to then
D E
To find a place Trump hadn’t fucked up yet
A
Living life on the back porch
Lifting rocks to make a wage
E
Every sunset paid attention to
Not a starry night went to waste
[Chorus]
C A E C A
Had to,... Quick escape
B E C A
Had to,... Quick escape
E C A B E
Had to,... Quick escape
[Instrumental]
C A E x3
E
[Bridge]
E
And here we are, the red planet
Craters across the skyline
A sleep sack in a bivouac
And a Kerouac sense of time
C A
And we think about the old days
C A
Of green grass, sky and red wine
E
Shouldn’t known, so fragile
And avoided this one-way flight
[Chorus]
C A E C A
Had to,... Quick escape
B E C A
Had to,... Quick escape
E C A B E
Had to,... Quick escape
[Outro]
E
