Riff 1: x2
Verse 1:
When [C]we were at school I thought he [F]had it sussed
[C]Fighting the law with the [G]rest of us
[C]Smoking, drinking, [F]acting cool.
('Til) they [G]started treating him like a fool
Then he [C]stayed on his own for [F]most of the time
[C]Dreaming dreams of a [G]life of crime
[C]In and out of trouble, he [F]cheated and lied
But [G]who'd have thought he'd join the other side
Chorus: (Riff 1 x6)
He's in a [C]riot squad[E][F][G]
The wanna [C]fight squad[E][F][G]
The shoot on [C]sight squad[E][F][G]
For law and [C]right[F][G][G]
Verse 2:
[C]Down to Hendon with the [F]boys in blue
It's a[C]mazing what a few [G]weeks can do
[C]Out in the car, [F]out on the street
[G]South of the river on the frontline beat
Chorus x1
Bridge:
Solo (played on top of similar melody as above)
Verse 3:
[D]Cracking heads, it was [G]all a game
A [D]finger was pointed, and he [A]got the blame
Now he's [D]back where he started, he [G]ain't got a pound
[A]Queing with the sorts he used to kick around
Chorus x2 (up one full step)
