Intro: A E G A G A

A E C#m D
|
||
|
Midnight to six, man
|
||
|
A E C#m D
|
||
|
for the first time from Jamaica
|
||
|
A E F#m D
|
||
|
Dillinger and Leroy Smart
|
||
|
A E A
|
||
|
Delroy Wilson, cool operator
|
||
|
A E C#m D
|
||
|
Ken Boothe, U.K. pop reggae
|
||
|
A E C#m D
|
||
|
with backing bands sound systems.
|
||
|
A E F#m D
|
||
|
If they got anything to say,
|
||
|
A E A
|
||
|
there's many black ears here to listen
|
||
|
|
||
|
A
|
||
|
But it was Four Tops all night
|
||
|
E
|
||
|
With encores from stage right,
|
||
|
G A
|
||
|
charges from the base knives to the treble
|
||
|
G A
|
||
|
But on stage they ain't got no roots, rock, rebel.
|
||
|
G A E A E A E A E
|
||
|
On stage they ain't got no roots, rock, rebel.
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
'Cause it won't get you anywhere
|
||
|
Foolin' with your guns.
|
||
|
The British Army is waiting out there
|
||
|
An' it weighs fifteen hundred tons.
|
||
|
White youth, black youth,
|
||
|
Better find another solution.
|
||
|
Why not phone up Robin Hood
|
||
|
And ask him for some wealth distribution.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Punk rockers of the U.K.,
|
||
|
They won't notice anyway.
|
||
|
They're all too busy fighting
|
||
|
For a good place under the lighting.
|
||
|
The new groups are not concerned
|
||
|
With what there is to be learned.
|
||
|
They got Burton suits. Huh, you think it's funny
|
||
|
Turning rebelion into money.
|
||
|
|
||
|
All over people changing their votes
|
||
|
Along with their overcoats.
|
||
|
If Adolf Hitler flew in today
|
||
|
They'd send a limosine anyway.
|
||
|
I'm the all-night, drug prowling wolf
|
||
|
Who looks so sick in the sun.
|
||
|
I'm the white man in the Palais
|
||
|
A E A D
|
||
|
Who goes looking for fun
|
||
|
A E A D
|
||
|
I'm only looking for fun
|
||
|
A E A D
|
||
|
Oh, please mister, just leave me alone
|
||
|
A E A D
|
||
|
Cause I'm only looking for fun
|
||
|
A E A D
|
||
|
Looking looking looking for fun
|
||
|
A E A D
|
||
|
Looking looking looking for fun
|
||
|
|
||
|
A E A
|
||
|
_oh_.
