Capo on 2nd Fret. Easier Chords this way. [Elvis Costello wrote this song on a flight from Belfast when the British troops were on the streets during the violent 1970s and '80s, when many died. Oliver is a reference to Oliver Cromwell who's British army crushed rebellion in Ireland in 1649–1650] |

There was a Checkpoint Charlie, he didn't crack a smile,
But it's no laughing party, when you've been on the murder mile,
Only takes one itchy trigger, one more widow, once less white nigger
(chorus)

We could be in Palestine, overrun by the Chinese Line,

With the boys from the Mersey and the Thames and the Tyne.

But there's no danger, it's a professional career,

Though it can be arranged with just a word in Mr Churchill's ear,

If you're out of luck, or if you're out of work,

We can send you to Johannesburg
