A                         D
Rosaleen of the Damascene,
                          F#m7
yes she had eyes like the moon
A                                    D
Would have been on the silver screen,
                       F#m7
but for the missile monsoon

         A                        D
She went, woo woo, woo woo oo-oo-oo,
F#m7
Indigo go up to heaven today
A                         B7sus4
Woo woo, woo woo oo-oo-oo,
                               D
with bombs going boom ba-boom-boom

Chorus:
         A
She say, I wanna know when I can go
 D                          F#m7
Back and get drunk with my friends
A
I wanna to know when I can go
 D                 F#m7
Back and be young again

Baba would go where the flowers grow
Almond and peach trees in bloom
And he would know just when and what to sow
So golden and opportune

But he went (Woo-woo, woo-woo, ooh-ooh-ooh)
Tulips the colour of honey today
(It's true, true, woo-woo, ooh-ooh-ooh)
Bombs going boom-ba-ba-boom
He say

Chorus:
Oh, I want to know when I can go
Back and get drunk with my friends
I want to know when I can go
Back and be young again (Yeah)

Esus4                    D  F#m7
Woo woo, woo woo oo-oo-ooo
Esus4
Woo woo, woo woo oo-oo-ooo

B7sus4           D
Cherub seraphim soon
      B7sus4                 D
Come sailing us home by the light of the moon

Chorus:
Oh, I want to know when I can go
Back and get drunk with my friends
I want to know when I can go
Back and feel home again

A                       D
Woo woo, woo woo oo-oo-oo
  F#m7                         A
I guess we'll be raised on our own then
Woo woo, woo woo oo-oo-oo
B7sus4                            D
Cos I wanna be with you 'til the world ends
B7sus4                         D
I wanna be with you 'til the whole world  ends

A
Boom boom ka, buba de ka,
Boom boom ka, buba de ka
Boom boom ka, buba de ka,
Boom boom ka, buba de ka
Boom
