[F]They give us a room with the view of the beautiful [C]Rhine,
Gimme a [G7]muddy old creek in [F7]Texas any old [C]time
{chorus}
[C]I've got the hup, two, three, four, occupation GI blues [C7] (Gi blues)
From my [F]GI hair to the heels of my GI [C]shoes,
and if I [G7]don't go state-side [F7]soon, I'm gonna blow my [C]fuse.[F][G7]
We get hassenfeffer amd black pumpernickel for chow.
We get hassenfeffer amd black pumpernickel for chow,
I'd blow my next months pay for a slice of Texas cow.
We like to be heroes but all that we do here is march.
We like to be heroes but all that we do here is march,
And they dont give the purple heart for a fallen arch.
The Frauleins are pretty as flowers but we cant make a pass.
The Frauleins are pretty as flowers but we cant make a pass,
Cause they're all wearing signs saying "KeepenSie off the grass"
Note : Ending chord sequence for last chorus ends with [C][F][C]
Also I play the F7's as F's, make's it easier.

1960 Not surprisingly, Elvis' fifth film, his first after serving two years of active duty in the U.S. Army, was entitled 'G.I. Blues' and was set in Germany. Elvis was discharged from active duty with the army in early March 1960 and began preproduction work for 'G.I. Blues' in California on April 21. Filming began on May 2nd and was finished by June 29th. While Elvis was stationed in Germany, Producer Hal Wallis had visited with him in August of 1959. Wallis was there while the German countryside and U.S. military operations were shot for the film. Elvis did not appear in any of this filming, however, the U.S. Army did supply tanks and crews for these shots.
In G.I. Blues, his first musical comedy, Elvis Presley stars as Tulsa MacLean, an Army sergeant stationed in West Germany. Tulsa and his buddies hope to make enough money to open a small nightclub upon their return to civilian life. At the urging of his pals, Tulsa accepts a bet with a group of G.I.s to win the heart of Lili, a beautiful cabaret dancer at the Cafe Europa. Lili, played by dancer Juliet Prowse, has a reputation for resisting soldiers, so Tulsa's finesse with females is required to break through her cool exterior.
Just as Tulsa realizes that he is in love with Lili, she finds out that she has been the target of a wager. Lili manages to overcome her anger to help Tulsa out during a troublesome night of babysitting for a friend's infant son. At a rehearsal for an Armed Forces show, Lili discovers that Tulsa has called off the bet, proving he truly loves her.

Lyrics:
They give us a room
with a view of the beautiful Rhine
They give us a room
with a view of the beautiful Rhine
Gimme a muddy old creek
in Texas any old time
I've got those hup, two, three, four
occupation G.I. Blues
From my G.I. hair to the heels of my G.I. shoes
And if I don't go stateside soon
I'm gonna blow my fuse
We get hasenpfeffer
and black pumpernickel for chow
We get hasenpfeffer
and black pumpernickel for chow
I'd blow my next month's pay
for a slice of Texas cow
We'd like to be heroes,
but all we do here is march
We'd like to be heroes,
but all we do here is march
And they don't give the Purple Heart
for a fallen arch
I've got those hup, two, three, four
occupation G.I. Blues
From my G.I. hair to the heels of my G.I. shoes
And if I don't go stateside soon
I'm gonna blow my fuse
The frauleins are pretty as flowers
But we can't make a pass
The frauleins are pretty as flowers
But we can't make a pass
Cause they're all wearin' signs saying:
"Keepen sie off the grass"
I've got those hup, two, three, four
occupation G.I. Blues
From my G.I. hair to the heels of my G.I. shoes
And if I don't go stateside soon
I'm gonna blow my fuse
