From the international smash hit album ---------- "Don’t Try This at Home" Note: When I write "D" I mean either D or DaddG: e:---3------| B:---3------| D:---0------| What you do (listen to the album) is to play D and this chord. It ammounts to playing the little mandolin riff on the high e string. You can make a similar riff on the G chords by hitting an open A string. Of course you can play along with the record without any of these fancy mandolin riffs I don’t care... and it sounds fine with just the chords. Most chords are played open. But then you never really know with Billy. Intro: / / / / / (open or barre) / / / / / / Dig in boys for an extended stay Those were the final orders to come down that day Waiting to be saved in the Philippines You’ll wait forever for the young Marines {same as above} Now I believe to be here is right But I have to say that I’m scared tonight Crouching in this hole with a mouth full of sand What comes first the country or the man Look at those slanted eyes coming up over the hill Catching us by surprise it’s time to kill or be killed chorus: Over here over there it’s the same everywhere A boy cries out for his mother before he dies for his home (same as above) All my life I wanted to be As clever and strong as my best friend Lee We grew up together along half Moon Bay Lee was Japanese born in the USA When Tommy was fighting Jerry along the River Seine Me and Lee we wanted to do the same Then they bombed Pearl Harbor at the break of day I was headed for these islands when Lee was hauled away They said look at his slanted eyes he’s guilty as guilty can be Sent here as enemy spies to sabotage the Land of the Free I never got home my platoon was never saved That little foxhole became my island grave Lee got out of jail but a prisoner he remained Till he ended his own life to lose that ball and chain And they said Oh Little Slanted Eyes can’t you forgive and forget And he said Oh Mr Friendly Ghost Can you catch water in a net? &y

La chanson évoque les horreurs de la guerre à travers le regard d’un soldat. Il se retrouve dans un contexte difficile et incertain, partagé entre son amour pour son pays et la peur de ne pas revenir en vie. Les souvenirs d’amis, comme celui de Lee, soulignent les injustices et la discrimination qu’ils ont subies, surtout lorsque des préjugés ont causé la perte de sa liberté et, finalement, de sa vie. Elle met en lumière la douleur des familles et les conséquences tragiques de la guerre sur des vies entières. En somme, c'est un récit poignant sur les luttes personnelles et collectives face à la brutalité des conflits.
