Under the radar (sing to "Under the Boardwalk")


G

1) Oh when the microwaves are high

D

And burn the roof off your mouth,

(stay on D)

And your brain gets so hot

G

You can't hold onto the truth,

C G

Come under the radar, in the shade of a tree, yeah,

D G

On a blanket with your baby, you'll be spouting poetry.

(Refrain)

Em

Under the radar, out of the stream

D

Under the radar I'll be dreaming my dream

Em

Under the radar no more walking like dead

D

Under the radar, it'll be just like I said

Em

Under the radar, radar


2) If from the dark you hear

The strident shouts of a drill

And the sound of armies

Clashing over the hill

Get under the radar in the shade of a tree, yeah

On a blanket with your baby that is where you'll be free

(refrain)

Under the radar, out of the stream

Under the radar I'll be dreaming my dream

Under the radar no more walking like dead

Under the radar, it'll be just like I said

Under the radar, radar


(break)


3) What do you do

When your best friend is your TV

And the red, white and blue

Are the only colors you see

Get under the radar, in the shade of a tree, yeah

And bring your baby along

And just sing this song with me


Under the radar, out of the stream

Under the radar I'll be dreaming my dream

Under the radar no more walking like dead

Under the radar, it'll be just like I said

Under the radar, radar

note: Apologies, I couldn't get the guitar chord letters to stay over the right words.
