It's been a long year

We've been so far from home

Too many people here
             [Eb]
Here come the drones
           [Ab]
We take the best of it

And make a mess of it
       [Db]
Ripping up some lawn
              [Eb]

             Db
And there's another one
        Eb
And his dumb son

Don't look so sad
         [Ab]
We fly to Amsterdam
        [E]
