This is a funny one, as most of it is instrumental. I've called
that bit the verse, but I'm sure you can figure out what's going
on.


Intro: (no chords)
-----
I said "Let's do it man,
Let's torch the whole village!"


Verse:
-----
Bm F

Just the two chords for the verse, but with the following lead
occasionally... It's not actually on guitar (sounds like a
recorder or something!), but it's transcribed for guitar.

Lead Riff:
---------
E-----------------------------------------
B-----------------------------------------
G---------------------------------12--11--
D--9--12--9--12--11--------9--12----------
A-----------------------------------------
E-----------------------------------------

E-----------------------------------------
B-----------------------------------------
G---------------------------------12--10--
D--9--12--9--12--11--------9--12----------
A-----------------------------------------
E-----------------------------------------


Chorus:
------
G               Bm
We went down to look at war toys
D
Wonderfully colored plastic war toys
G               Bm
We went down to look at war toys
D
But all the war toys were gone


verse: There's another lead bit here, but I don't have it yet.

chorus:
We went down to look at war toys
Wonderfully colored plastic war toys
We went down to look at war toys
But all the war toys were gone


Bridge:
------
C#               F      F#
All my life I've always wondered
C#                       F            F#
What it would be like to fire off a bazooka
C#               F      F#
All my life I've always wondered
        C#                          F         F#
What it would be like to fire off a ballistic missile


verse: (with lead riff)

chorus:
We went down to look at war toys
Wonderfully colored plastic war toys
We went down to look at war toys
But all the war toys were gone

chorus:
We went down to look at war toys
Wonderfully colored plastic war toys
We went down to look at war toys
But it seems that we were wrong

End on D.
