 Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner

 Warren Zevon





 Bm           D                                     G

 Roland was a warrior from the Land of the Midnight Sun

 G                       D                    A*

 With a Thompson gun for hire, fighting to be done

     Bm               D                            G

 The deal was made in Denmark on a dark and stormy day

 G                 D          A              Bm

 So he set out for Biafra to join the bloody fray





 Bm                    D                           G

 Through sixty-six and seven they fought the Congo war

 G                D                      A

 Fingers on their triggers, knee-deep in gore

     Bm                   D                          G

 For days and nights they battled the Bantu to their knees

 G                         D              A            Bm

 They killed to earn their living and to help out the Congolese



 G          D                    A    Bm

 Roland the Thompson gunner...

 G          D                    A    Bm

 Roland the Thompson gunner...





     Bm               D                            G

 His comrades fought beside him - Van Owen and the rest

 G                        D                      A

 But of all the Thompson gunners Roland was the best

        Bm     D                       G

 So the CIA decided they wanted Roland dead

 G                       D    A                 Bm

 That son-of-a-bitch Van Owen blew off Roland's head





 Chorus:                                      Harmony:

 D          A                 G        Bm

 Roland the headless Thompson gunner         (Time, time, time

 D                A                           For another peaceful war

 Norway's bravest son                         But time stands still for

                                              Roland

                                              'Til he evens up the score)



 A        Bm     A      D         A    G                    Bm

 They can still see his headless body stalking through the night

        D               A                 Bm

 In the muzzle flash of Roland's Thompson gun

        D               A                 G        Bm

 In the muzzle flash of Roland's Thompson gun



 Bm                  D                                     G

 Roland searched the continent for the man who'd done him in

 G               D                              A

 He found him in Mombassa in a barroom drinking gin

 Bm               D                              G

 Roland aimed his Thompson gun - he didn't say a word

 G                      D         A        Bm

 But he blew Van Owen's body from there to Johannesburg



 G                   D                    A    Bm

 Roland the headless Thompson gunner...

 G                   D                    A    Bm

 Roland the headless Thompson gunner...

 G                   D                    A    Bm

 Roland the headless Thompson gunner...







 Bm                   D                                   G

 The eternal Thompson gunner, still wandering through the night

 G                  D                               A

 Now it's ten years later but he still keeps up the fight

    Bm          D                         G

 In Ireland, in Lebanon, in Palestine and Berkeley

 G            G                  G                 D

 Patty Hearst heard the burst of Roland's Thompson gun

 A   Bm

 And bought it
