The great rock´n´roll swindle

G

1. People said we couldn´t play, they called us foul-mouthed yobs

A

but the only notes that really count are the ones that come in wads.

G

They all drowned when the air turned blue, 'cause we didn´t give a toss,

A

filthy lucre ain´t nothing new, but we all get cash for chaos.

D A G A G

The time is right to do it now, the greatest rock´n´roll swindle,

D A D - A

the time is right to do it now.

G

2. EMI said "you´re out of hand" and they gave us the boot,

A

but they couldn´t sack us just like that without giving us the loot.

G

Thank you kindly A & M, they said we´re out of bounds,

A

but ain´t that bad for two weeks work and 75,000 pounds.

+ CHORUS (x2)

G

2. I just wanna play with my band, are you good enough for me?

A

Hiya boys, I´m the chosen one, can´t you fucking see?

G

I´m a jealous god and I want ev´rything and I love youwith a knife,

A

I´ll take you if you´re ready for me and I´ll give you my life.

+ CHORUS (x2)

(The Sex Pistols)
