G                          C
I met a man sitting in the sand
G                      C
Couldda been just like Viet Nam
G               C
Shakey fingers, Steady Palm
G               C
Then at once it all went calm and he said...

Chorus:

G             C
What does Chicago Mean and
G                        C
Can ya tell me what your grandpa seen because I
G                  C
Saw it once on a movie Screen in
     D
Baghdad



Showed me pictures of his wife and kids
Told me things his crazy brother did
He was the keeper for Basra Red
He made love in a shaky bed

(Chorus)

(Jam)

Then at once it all got clear
I told him that I could use a beer
Don't drink, but I know what you mean
Before we laughed they shot his face off clean and I thought:

(Alt Chorus)

What does Baghdad mean and
Can ya tell me what yer Grandpa seen because I
Saw it once on a movie screen in Bosie

(Chorus )
(Chorus)
