ESitting in a park in Paris France Areading the news and it sure looks F#bad
They won't give peace a chanceH, that was just a dream some of us Ehad

EI met a redneck on a Grecian isleA, who did the goat dance very F#well
He gave me back my smile Hbut he kept my camera to sellE
EOh the rogue, the red red rogue, Ahe cooked good omelettes and stews
And I F#might have stayed on with him there, but my Hheart cried out for yoA
