[Verse]

A                        Dm
Hudson died in Hudson bay,
        C                       F
The water took his victim's name,
         Gm                  F
The River's rise told riverside,
       E
To change their names again.

     A                              Dm
A stranger walked in through the door,
         C                        F
Said "All apartments are pre-war",
       Gm                                   F
We laughed and I asked him for his name,
       E
He stayed until the end.

       A                                 Dm
We watched the Germans play the Greeks,
       C                  F
He marked the 99 year lease,
        Gm                             F
Our fathers signed which I declined,
      E
To try and comprehend.

[Chorus]

Gm           F                             C                     F
Over and over again are these never-ending visions,
Gm           F                          C
Over and over again like a prize that's changed in hands,
Gm                  F
The time has come,
        C                       Dm
The clock is such a drag,
C                   Dm
All you who changed your stripes,
        Bb                       F
Can wrap me in the flag.

[Verse]

        A                Dm
The legendary wooden gate,
        C                          F
The first established real-estate,
    Gm                      F
Is lost in time like all the crimes
         E
That won this pleasant land.

[Ulangi Chorus]

[Verse]

A                        Dm
Hudson died in Hudson bay,
      C                       F
But I was born on Sutton Place,
        Gm                         F
The rising tide helped me decide,
       E
To change my name again.

A                             Dm
Some men tend to linger on,
         C                                     F
And some make haste from Babylon,
Gm                              F
Some will roam their ruined home,
       E
Rejoicing... till the end.

[Ulangi Chorus]

Gm                  F
The lines are drawn,
         C                     Dm
The map is such a drag,
C                    Dm
All you who changed your stripes,
        Bb                       F
Can wrap me in the flag.
