Lyrics and chords:

Intro: E, E, E, E

[E] Sixteen military [G]wives
Thirty-two [A]softly focused brightly colored [E]eyes
[E] Staring at the natural [G]tan
Of thirty-two [A]gently clenching wrinkled little [E]hands
[A] Seventeen company [B]men
Out of which [C#]only twelve will [D]make it back [A]again
[E] Seargeant sent a letter to [G]five
Military [A]wives, his tears drip down to ten little [E]eyes

[B] Cheer them on to their rivals
Cause [A]America [E]can, and [A]America [E]can't say [B]no
And [A]America [E]does, if [A]America [E]says it's [B]so
[B]It's so
( D O N T P L A Y H E R E )
And the anchorperson on TV goes
[E]La de da de da

( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/d/decemberists/16_military_wives_crd_ver_2.html )
[E] Fifteen celebrity [G]mimes
Leaving their [A]fifteen sorted wretched checkered [E]lives
[E] Will they find the solution in [G]time
Using their [A]fifteen pristine moderate liberal [E]minds
[A] Eighteen academy [B]chairs
Out of which [C#]only seven [D]really even [A]care
[E] Doling out a garment to [G]five
Celebrity [A]mimes, they're humbly taken by sur[E]prise

[B] Cheer them on to their rivals
Cause [A]America [E]can, and [A]America [E]can't say [B]no
And [A]America [E]does, if [A]America [E]says it's [B]so
[B]It's so
( D O N T P L A Y H E R E )
And the anchorperson on TV goes
[E]La de da de da de di de di de da
[E]La de da de da de di de di de da

Bridge: E, G, A, E, E, G, A, E

[A] Fourteen cannibal [B]kings
Wondering [C#]blindly what the [D]dinner bell will [A]bring
[E] Fifteen celebrity [G]mimes
Served on a [A]leafy bed of sixteen military [E]wives

[B] Cheer them on to their rivals
Cause [A]America [E]can, and [A]America [E]can't say [B]no
And [A]America [E]does, if [A]America [E]says it's [B]so
[B]It's so
( D O N T P L A Y H E R E )
And the anchorperson on TV goes
[E]La de da de da de di de di de da
[E]La de da de da de di de di de da
[E]La de da de da de di de di de da
[E]De da de da de di de di de da
[E]De da de da de di de di de da

Outro: E, G, A, E, E, G, A, E, E, G, A, E
