The Decommissioner by Dan Kelly
The Decommissioner
It's 1/2 step down tuning on the album version, but I've tried transcribing some live
and it's played in standard. It's up to you to decide which one you like, hence why I have
not selected a specific tuning. Anyway, here's the song.
All chords are primary barre chords except when stated otherwise (e.g. "Bm(2)" is my way
saying that this is a secondary barre chord)
D C B Bb G
American Apparel had a special on khaki
D C B Bb G
With a matching balaclava stitched in Northern Italy
D C B Bb G
Well it just got me thinking and I flashed my credit card
C(open) A7(open)
I must admit I might have been a trifle hard
D C B Bb G
I read the weather makers, read some Gandhi too
D C B Bb
And I thought about the space that does exist 'tween me and you
D C B Bb
Then I stole some high explosive from the coffin cheaters club
C(open) A7(open)
Then I vanished like a ninja to the scrub
Bm(2) F#m
I am the Decommissioner
A(open) Em(open)
Guilty of the worst sedition
G(open)
Helicopters on my trail
A(open) C(open)
I'm dancing like a hare krishna!
(D C B Bb G X2)
D C B
Like Steve McQueen on my 250
Bb G
O-er the compound fence
D C B
Well the blood had lifted to my head
Bb G
My legs were in suspense
D
And I rammed a stick of jelly
C B Bb G
'Neath the cooling towers wall
C(open) A7(open)
I crashed the boom gate as the bricks began to fall
Bm(2) F#m
I am the Decommissioner
A(open) Em(open)
Taking the extreme position
G(open)
Taunting the police commissioner!
Bm(2) F#m
I am the Decommissioner
A(open) Em(open)
Guilty of the worst sedition
G(open)
Service station cameras catch me
A(open) C(open)
Chantin' like a hare krishna!
(Wacky instrumental high speed chase through Gippsland commences.While this occurs, play
open D for 4 bars)
D(open)
Road blocks on all the highways
Bb(2) C(open)
I slunk along the creeks
D(open)
Soon joined by angry scientists
Bb(2) C(open)
And some old Jesus freaks
D(open)
Collecting strange disciples
Bb(2) C(open)
We hatched a brand new plan
D(open)
We started pre production
Bb(2) C(open)
On a touring indie band!
D C B
We went up the freeway in our black tarago
Bb G
Run on solar power
D C B
Decommissioning power stations
Bb G
The cops close by the hour
D C B
Reviewers in their leather trench coats
Bb G
Settin' up my buzz
C(open) A7(open)
Say I'll be famous if I just avoid the fuzz!
Bm(2) F#m
Oh Mr. Police Commissioner
A(open) Em(open)
Look at it from my position
G(open)
Apocalypse is comin'
Bm(2) F#m
And I'm really a concerned parishioner
A(open) Em(open)
Acting on my own volition
G(open)
Taking the extreme position
A(open) C(open)
I'm tired of all this indecision!
(Boom)
