POLICEMEN & PIRATES
(If you know the song its easy to work out the general
Refrain and Verse changes.)
Good Luck!
Intro---E----D----A----E----D
Verse 1
A
The house caught on fire in the winter
D
the bosses lay slain
D
and each of the workers decided
A
to ten-fold their pay
and they saw in the mirror
D
the sun had been shot down in flames
A
and nobody minded the hole in the sky or the rain
Refrain:-
A E
but it doesnt really matter
D A
when the judgements are said
E
'cos we all take our chances
D A
to find our romances in some others bed
E
and you might burn your fingers
D A
hook your best friends rings for those
E
who'd have you standing naked
D A
then publicly auction the use of a hose
Verse 2
A
all the children where laughing
D
their faces in half at the pain
of the girl who loved talking to walls
A
and jumping at trains
and the words that ring true
D
in the playground of fools will remain
A
and nobody minded the hole in the sky or the rain
Refrain 2:-
A E
but it doesnt really matter
D A
when the rights have been read
E
'cos we all take our chances to glance
D A
at the wife in the opposite bed
E D A
and I bet Nero and Pilate could easily explain
E D
how policemen and pirates get stoned in glass houses
A
just finding their way.
