Verse 1:
A5
statue stares, traffic stopped
D5
a victim's asking for the road to knock
A5
there's a crowd of boys at Sugar's store
D5
like yesterday, and the day before
A5
at the pass-machine beside the bank
D5
it says 'minks are kinky,' draw some tank
A5
but don't look around when you hear your name
D5
cos they call it and they look away
A5
and the shades are steamed and driving slowly
D5
wondering which way to go
A5
while the slash-hook merchants stand and wait
D5
to pay respects at the graveyard gates
E5 D5
here, buy a line, support the Stars

high times are up for grabs

plastic pouches, grams and tabs
A5
come up the flat man, skin one up
D5
world class, tóm enough
A5
well byes, story? truth
D5
the bittersweet of mis-spent youth
A5
will one day fade away
D5
blacks and whites all turn to greys
A5
justice waits up the dublin road
D5
between the alley and the old-folks home
A5
in innocence personified
D5
the guilty all wear suits and ties
E5
and some are driving fancy cars

mé-féiners at the door
D5
politics, you know the score
A5
mawlya-mungers shake my hand
tacet D5(one beat)
saying "Sorry for your troubles, sham,"
A5(softly)
and plámás stalks the last few pound
D5
leave it with me now, that's sound
A5
liars compare their lies
D5
frauds play broads with sly-head eyes
A5
there's liars, fairy-tales and lies
D5
everyone's been telling lies
A5
the band up playing on the stage
D5
teenage songs in middle-age
E5 E5
while the young lads burn their bass guitars
E5 E5
and the big-boys lick their credit cards
E5 E5
it's the grace of god that they got this far

A5 till fade.
Well there it is, shams. There's a couple of little
fills and the solo that I didn't work out but I reckon
this is ok.
