The Jazz Butcher Conspiracy : Olaf Palme
Y'know?
A G#
Western Europe's still a civilized place
A F#
Despite those Americans all over the place
D E A E
But just the other week, I saw it take a little dive
A G#
I have always believed that if you're lucky enough
A F#
To have a leader who is friendly, decent, honest and just
D
And not a Tory
E A E
You'd better keep him alive
D E A E So why'd they go and shoot Olaf Palme D E A EWhy'd they go and gun that good man down.
[ CHORDS REPEATED
Well, you didn't read about him in the English papers much
But he used to govern Sweden with a magic touch
Everybody liked him even though the liquor prices were high
And my god are they high
But all the taxation helped to pay the bills For stuff like better work conditions and the curing of ills It made sense, and ladies and gents that's why...
That's why I think we ought to have a drink for Olaf Palme Yes I think we ought to drink one to his name (Pat Fish: Everyone except Max, who's playing guitar) (Max Eider: Oh Gawd!)
Oh, what'd they have to go and shoot him for Plenty of Prime Ministers deserve it much more He was only coming home from the Cinema And they shot him
Well, I don't know much about your politics
I only pick up stupid little bits that stick
But I wish they hadn't shot Olaf Palme
Oh yes I wish they hadn't shot Olaf Palme
Oh yes I wish they hadn't shot a good man down.
