POLICE OPPRESSION by ANGELIC UPSTARTS
Great tune. B-side to their first single. Unsure of the chords in the solo.
INTRO: C D E E (x lots)
[C] [D] [E] I just can't take much more of this oppression
I'm going out of my head and it's war not oppression
I'm gonna go out for a walk
I'm gonna sit down and have talk
CHORUS:
[G]they're asking me how and they're asking me why
[A]have you ever seen grown men cry
[G]police police police oppression,
[A]police police police oppression
VERSE:
really find it hard even walking round the streets
hey I know you son I'll knock you off your feet
CHORUS:
same number a million times before,
shut your mouth son or I'll knock you on the floor
police police police oppression, police police police oppression
BREAK: guitar solo (chords to be worked out)
VERSE:
I just can't take much more of this oppression
I'm going out of my head and it's war not oppression
I'm gonna go out for a war I'm gonna sit down and have talk
REPEAT CHORUS 1:
REPEAT INTRO:
VERSE:
lying in the cells is really no fun
cut the bricks learn some tricks
ask me no questions and I'll tell you no lies
ain't doing nothing really a crime
CHORUS:
police police police oppression
police police police oppression
police police police police police
MAIN RIFF TO END
