EmVerse 1
Em And the crabs are crazy, they scuttle back and forth, D Dsus D The sand is burning C D C D And the fish take flight and scatter from the sight, their courses Em turning. As the seagulls rest on the cold cannon nest, D Dsus D The sea is churning C D C D Em The marines have landed on the shores of Santo Domingo
Verse 2
Em The fishermen sweat, they're pausing at their nets, D Dsus D The day's a-burning C D C D As the warships sway and thunder in the bay, loud in the Em Morning. But the boy on the shore is throwing pebbles no more, D Dsus D He runs a-warning: C D C D Em That the marines have landed on the shores of Santo Domingo
Verse 3
Em The streets are still, there's silence in the hills, D Dsus D The town is sleeping C D C D And the farmers yawn in the grey silver dawn, the fields they're Em Keeping. As the first troops land and step into the sand, D Dsus D The flags are weeping C D C D Em The marines have landed on the shores of Santo Domingo
Verse 4
Em The unsmiling sun is shining down upon D Dsus D The singing soldiers C D C D In the cloud dust whirl they whistle at the girls, they're getting Em Bolder. All the old women sigh, think of memories gone by, D Dsus D They shrug their shoulders C D C D Em The marines have landed on the shores of Santo Domingo
Verse 5
Em Ready for the tricks, their bayonets are fixed, D Dsus D Now they are rolling C D C D And the tanks make tracks past the trembling shacks where fear's Em Unfolding. All the young wives afraid, turn their backs to the parade D Dsus D With babes they're holding C D C D Em The marines have landed on the shores of Santo Domingo
Verse 6
Em A bullet cracks the sound, the army hits the ground, D Dsus D the sniper is callin' C D C D So they open up their guns, a thousand to one, no sense in Em Stalling. He clutches at his head and totters on the edge, D Dsus D Look how he's falling C D C D Em The marines have landed on the shores of Santo Domingo
Verse 7
Em In the red plaza square, The crowds come to stare, D Dsus D The heat is leaning C D C D And the eyes of the dead are turning every head to the widows Em Screaming. But the soldiers make a bid, giving candy to the kids, D Dsus D Their teeth are gleaming C D C D Em The marines have landed on the shores of Santo Domingo
Verse 8
Em Up and down the coast, the generals drink a toast, D Dsus D The wheel is spinning C D C D And the cowards and the whores are peeking through the doors to see who's Em Winning. But the traitors will pretend that it's getting near the end, D Dsus D When it's beginning C D C D Em The marines have landed on the shores of Santo Domingo
Verse 9
Em And the crabs are crazy, they scuttle back and forth, D Dsus D The sand is burning C D C D And the fish take flight and scatter from the sight, their courses Em turning. As the seagulls rest on the cold cannon nest, D Dsus D The sea is churning C D C D Em The marines have landed on the shores of Santo Domingo
