[Intro]
E D x4
 
[Verse]
D                      E
Reconnaissance on the corner
       D                 E
In the old world not so far
D                      E
First we took an aeroplane
        D          E
Then a boat to Zanzibar
 
A
Queen cranking on the blaster
 
And Mercury did rise
E
Come along where we all belonged
 
You were yours and I was mine
 
[Instrumental]
E
 
[Chorus]
C  A E               C    A
Had  to,...  Quick escape
    B E              C   A
Had to,... quick escape
 
[Instrumental]
E D x4
 
[Verse]
D                      E
Crossed the border to Morocco
D                  E
Kashmir then Marrakesh
       D                      E
The lengths we had to go to then
            D                      E
To find a place Trump hadn’t fucked up yet
 
A
Living life on the back porch
 
Lifting rocks to make a wage
E
Every sunset paid attention to
 
Not a starry night went to waste
 
[Chorus]
C  A E               C    A
Had  to,...  Quick escape
    B E             C   A
Had to,... Quick escape
    E                C   A  B E
Had to,... Quick escape
 
[Instrumental]
C A E x3
E
 
[Bridge]
E
And here we are, the red planet
 
Craters across the skyline
 
A sleep sack in a bivouac
 
And a Kerouac sense of time
 
C                      A
And we think about the old days
C                       A
Of green grass, sky and red wine
E
Shouldn’t known, so fragile
 
And avoided this one-way flight
 
[Chorus]
C  A E               C    A
Had  to,...  Quick escape
    B E             C   A
Had to,... Quick escape
    E                C   A  B E
Had to,... Quick escape
