      A
Some say it was radiation,
 D           E                A  D E
some said: acid on the microphone
     A
And some say it was a combination
D               E                      A   D E
of things that turned their hearts to stone
      D                                       E
But whatever it was, it drove them to their knees
E7                        A   D E
Oh, that Legionnaire's disease

I wish I had a dollar for everyone
that died within that year
Got 'em grabbed by the collar,
and plenty a maiden shed a tear
Now beneath my heart, it sure put on a squeeze,
Oh, that Legionnaire's disease
It was Legionnaire's disease

Granddad fought in a revolutionary war,
father in the War of 1812
Uncle fought down in Vietnam
and then he fought a war all by himself
But whatever it was, it hit him like a tree
Oh, that Legionnaire's disease
It was Legionnaire's disease
It was Legionnaire's disease
It was Legionnaire's disease
