   /C     /            /     /G       /C          /      /F    /

with an AK-Forty-seven.

  /C      /     /     /G       /C               /       /F      / 
I met her in an Idaho pub, she quarreled with a swarthy skinhead.
   /Am     /         /C       / / / /                  
My opening line was 'Hey nice shot!' 
      /G           /G7        /C        /   /C -F /C / /C -F 
Guess you're gonna need a new boyfriend.

[Verse 2]
    /C     /     /       /G       /C       /       /F    / 
Her father was a farmin' man, his potatoes were delicious.
    /Am     /          /C    / / / /          
But ev-er-y one of his Idaho friends, 
  /G        /G7     /C  /   /C -F /C / /C -F 
belonged to three militias.



[Verse 3]
    /C     /     /        /G        /C     /       /F    / 
Her mother was a farmer's wife, and tended all the crops, she,
     /Am       /             /C       / / / / 
Was 'specially proud of some basement plants, 
    /G    /G7     /C      /  /C -F /C / /-F
She never let the cops see.



[Repeat Chorus]
   /C     /            /     /G       /C          /      /F    /
Oh I'm in love with an Idaho girl, in love with a bit of heaven.

She's a lov-e-ly Idaho Girl,   
        /G /G7   /C  /   /C -F /C / /C -F 
with an AK-Forty-seven.

   /C           /      /       /G      /C           /      /F      /      
At length there came a wedding day, 'I do' when the parson asked it.
    /Am     /      /C     / / / /
I'd finally get to second base,
  /G        /G7         /C     /  /C -F /C / /C -F
Beneath her green flack jacket.



[Verse 5]
    /C      /  /      /G      /C      /        /F    /   
Her heavin' alabaster skin, O none on earth is purer.
    /Am          /             /C    / / / /   
But there in the middle of her Idaho chest,
      /G    /G7    /C     /    /C -F /C / /C -F
Was a tatoo of the Fuehrer.



[Repeat Chorus]
   /C     /            /     /G       /C          /      /F    /
Oh I'm in love with an Idaho girl, in love with a bit of heaven.
/Am     /        /C    / / / /   
She's a lov-e-ly Idaho Girl,   
        /G /G7   /C  /   /C -F /C / /C -F 
with an AK-Forty-seven.



[Verse 6]
  /C       /            /     /G        /C     /       /F       /  
I left her there in the Idaho dust, and like a skunk I made off.
  /Am          /     /C   / / / /      
I knew there'd never be a bed, 
    /G      /G7        /C    /   /C -F /C / /C -F 
I'd care to share with Adolf.


[Verse 7]
    /C      /      /       /G     /C    /           /F      /   
The bullets flew behind me now, I never should have trifled,
         /Am      /           /C    / / / /    
With the lov-e-ly heart of an Idaho Girl, 
        /G  /G7   /C    /   /C -F /C / /C -F 
And her automatic rifle.



[Repeat Chorus]
   /C     /            /     /G       /C          /      /F    /
Oh I'm in love with an Idaho girl, in love with a bit of heaven.
/Am     /        /C    / / / /    
She's a lov-e-ly Idaho Girl,   
        /G /G7   /C  /   /C -F /C / /C -F 
with an AK-Forty-seven.



[Verse 8 -- Slowly]
       /C   /       /     /G         /C       /        /F      /   
If you ever meet an Idaho girl, I'll warn you what the fact is,

    [walk bass down]
     /C    /         /C    / / / /   
That every man of an Idaho girl, 
     /G    /G7    /C       /   /C -F /C / /C -F
Ends up as target practice.



[Repeat Chorus]
   /C     /            /     /G       /C          /      /F    /
Oh I'm in love with an Idaho girl, in love with a bit of heaven.
/Am     /        /C    / / / /     
She's a lov-e-ly Idaho Girl,   
        /G /G7   /C  /   /C -F /C / /C -F 
with an AK-Forty-seven.
