Verse 1
Em G
High on the mountain stands a boat
D Bm
But are they gods or real folk?
Em G
We can't see the fire but we smell the smoke
D Bm
Who'll take the plough? Who'll be the yoke?
Em G
Night after night I don't believe
D Bm
We are the ones you won't deceive
Em G
Not a thing will you achieve
D Bm
'cos we belong and we won't leave
Chorus:
Em G
Trouble, trouble
D Bm
I try to chase trouble but it's chasing me
Em G
Trouble, trouble
D Bm
Trouble with a capital T

Verse 2
Em G
Lay down your silver and your gold
D Bm
I'm a man who can't be sold
Em G
And, even when my heart grows cold
D Bm
I'll curse your evil stranglehold
Em G
The waves are running much too high
D Bm
It's got so dark can't see the sky
Em G
But a change is coming by and by
D Bm
A time to laugh, a time to die
Chorus
Em G
Trouble, trouble
D Bm
I try to chase trouble but it's chasing me
Em G
Trouble, trouble
D Bm
Trouble with a capital T

Not sure about the guitar solo as it sounds a bit dodgy against the studio version but
perfect with live versions. Also when he plays it live, he uses some bends at the start
the solo.
Enjoy :)
