From: 

At last, a moment to breathe and type in some music...this is a favorite 
bizarre song of mine by a Minneapolis band.  It's probably not the same as 
the recording because it fakes a melody line played on the mandolin.

ARMY (DREAM SONG)
Boiled in Lead
Music & lyrics: Todd Menton

I play all the A's as barre chords on the fifth fret (577655).

INTRO: E E  F#m A C#m C#m  E F#m A C#m C#m  C#m B E
       E E  F#m A C#m C#m  E F#m A C#m C#m  C#m B

      E          F#m      A      C#m
In my dream, I'm suddenly in the army
        F#m  A       C#m                         B
And the army life is good, but I'm ankle deep in blood
  E       F#m     A      C#m
I went to see the quartermaster
        F#m    A      C#m                        B
And the quartermaster said, your socks are awful red

I found the master sergeant
I said "Sergeant, I am hurting, I'm considering deserting"
He said "Do whatever's in your conscience"
So I tried to make a run, but I was stapled to the gun

                E           F#m      A        C#m
CHORUS: And the cannon were lined up all in a line
        A        C#m
        Dark and cold
             A                       C#m
        They aimed them all straight upward
            B       E       (repeat second line of intro chords)
        And thunder rolled

I went to see the first lieutenant
He said "God, they're going to bomb us, from their vicious flying llamas!"
I dove into the llama shelter
I became Charlotte Cordet, and the battle fell away

But the peace that reigned in Upper Dreamland
Was badly negated when the giant slugs invaded
I turned to face my fine young officers
I was barking out my orders, when they crashed across the borders

CHORUS twice

Repeat intro chords and end on E
