Mideast Vacation - Neil Young from the book _Life_ typed by Steve Vetter thanks to Stephen House (it's his book) Intro: GBGBm G Bm I used to watch Highway Patrol whittlin' with my knife G Bm but the thought never struck me I'd be black and white for life G Em I was raised on law and order in a community of strife D Am Am became a restless border and I never took a wife G Bm I went looking for Khadafi aboard Air Force One G Bm but I never did find him and the CIA said son G Em you'll never be a hero, your flying days are done D Am Am it's time for you to go home now, stop sniffin that smoking gun G Bm I was travellin with my family through the mideast late one night G Bm in the hotel all was quite the kids were out like little lights G Em then the street filled with jeeps there was an explosion to the right D Am Am they chanted "death to America" I was feelin like a fight G Bm So I ran down the stairs and out into the street G Bm someone kicked me in the belly someone else kissed my feet G Em I was Rambo in the disco shooting to the beat D Am Am When they burned me in effigy my vacation was complete
