NOTES:
Chordally, this is quite an easy song: just a I, IV, V pattern in E.
So, the chords are E, A and B. And you can easily hear when the changes come.
Guitar Figure 1 is played in the verses with slight variations. If you just
play the chords, this song still sounds OK.

INTRO:    [Guitar Figure 1]  [x2]


VERSE:
E
[Guitar Figure 1]
We're playing in a tent, it's paying the rent
[Guitar Figure 1]
If you pooch a civilian, it's a major event


CHORUS:
        A                   E
        [Guitar Figure 2]   [Guitar Figure 1]
Down in France, way down in France
                            E
B            A              [Guitar Figure 1]
Way on down, way on down in France


VERSE:
The girls is all salty, the boys is all sweet
The food ain't too shabby and they piss in the street


[repeat CHORUS]


VERSE:
They got diseases like you've never seen
Got a mystery blow-job turn your peter green


[repeat CHORUS]


VERSE:
They got some coffee eatin' right through the cup
An' when you go ka-ka, they make you stand up


[repeat CHORUS]


VERSE:
If you're not careful, it'll stick to your cheeks
You'll smell like a native for a couple of weeks


[Harmonica solo]


VERSE:
We cannot wait 'til we go back
It gets so exciting when the poodles "react"


[repeat CHORUS]


[Ending:]
