Verse 1E
There aren't that many trees in Arabia
E
Think how many you've seen
E
I'd rather buy a moat than another lawn
E
Back with the guns again
E
Helicopter spies always break new ground
E
Deep hidden in sacks of grain
E
They never have time to dig up the beds
E
Back with the guns again
Chorus 1F#AEDB
Helicopter spies, they make me cry
F#AEDB
Helicopter spies, they make me cry
Verse 2E
You're always cutting through the undergrowth
E
There's a passage inside the trees
E
If you find your way through the tailor's shop
E
You'll probably be asleep
E
I'd rather take a day off and find you alive
E
Than to push through the coral alone
E
You think you'll find the lagoon again
E
But they often sink away
Chorus 2F#AEDB
Helicopter spies, they make me cry
F#AEDB
Helicopter spies, they make me cry
F#AEDB
Helicopter spies, they make me cry
F#AEDB
Helicopter spies, they make me cry
Verse 2E
Helicopter spies always rush around
E
Their jackets often fall off
E
They never have time to put them back on again
E
They're always tough enough
Chorus 3F#AEDB
Helicopter spies, they make me cry
F#AEDB
Helicopter spies, they make me cry
F#AEDB
Helicopter spies, they make me cry
