Bbm

[Verse]
Bbm                F7         Bbm
Lyndon thinks it’s fine and grand
           F7                                Bbm
To see the flag of his country in a foreign land
Gb                Ab
Everyone’s happy, everything’s clear
       Bbm                F          F7
Didn’t Germany die to the sound of a cheer?

[Chorus]
F7                    Bbm
You know Hitler ain’t dead
             Gb    Db
Hitler ain’t dead, no
             Ebm   F7
Hitler ain’t dead
                  Bbm
He’s only hiding here

[Verse]
Bbm                          F7      Bbm
Just a few more countries we gotta invade
          F7                             Bbm
Because a few more dollars have gotta be made
Gb                   Ab
Labor, big business, Congress agree
Bbm                  F       F7
Like they used to do in Germany

[Chorus]
F7                    Bbm
You know Hitler ain’t dead
             Gb    Db
Hitler ain’t dead, no
             Ebm   F7
Hitler ain’t dead
                    Bbm
He only crossed the sea

[Verse]
Bbm                          F7       Bbm
Our soldiers marching in the world today
       F7                            Bbm
It’s a civilized war, in a Christian way
Gb                                  Ab
If they think you’re dirty, they’ll wash you clean
Bbm                F         F7
First with napalm, then Listerine

[Chorus]
F7                    Bbm
You know Hitler ain’t dead
             Gb    Db
Hitler ain’t dead, no
             Ebm   F7
Hitler ain’t dead
                     Bbm
He just joined the marines

[Verse]
Bbm                          F7         Bbm
It’s gassy in the jungle and hot on the street
     F7                                    Bbm
Shot down by the soldier or the cop on the beat
Gb                     Ab
Saigon to Selma to the city hall
         Bbm                        F           F7
With his hand on the dollar and his back to the wall

[Chorus]
F7                    Bbm
You know Hitler ain’t dead
             Gb    Db
Hitler ain’t dead, no
             Ebm   F7
Hitler ain’t dead
                     Bbm
He just talks with a drawl

[Verse]
Bbm                F7        Bbm
Pick up a spear, a powdering shot
  F7                               Bbm
A pen or machine gun, whatever you got
Gb                      Ab
Fight for your freedom, start a freeze
Bbm                         F            F7
But die on your feet, don’t live on your knees

[Chorus]
F7                    Bbm
You know Hitler ain’t dead
             Gb    Db
Hitler ain’t dead, no
             Ebm   F7
Hitler ain’t dead
                   Bbm
He’s among you and me
