[G][D][G][D][G][D][G][D][G][D][G][D][C][G][D][G][D]
When [G]you reach

[Verse 1]
number [D]ten and think the [G]struggle end[D]s
[C]But [G]in the en[D]d it's o[G]nly a t[A]rend
You have [D]to unbend 'cause
[A]it's [D]only a trend
[A]Don't lose [D]all your friends
don't [A]make [C]her[D]oes end

[Verse 2]
When you [D]reach number eight it
ain't no [G]pearly gate
'Cause [C]it [G]won't satiate
[D]your growing app[G]etite
[D]You[C] can ply[G] your tra[D]de and
[G]push your crusade
Emancipate or indoctrinate,
but [A]the traps are [D]all laid for [A]any hon[C]est [D]crusade

[Verse 3]
Your [A]old val[D]ues will fade as you
[A]struggle to make [G]the grade[D]
[F]As [G]you[D] struggle to mak[F]e
[G]the[D] gr[F]ade[G][D][F]
You struggle to make the grade,

When [G]you hear number four

[Verse 4]
[D]you're
[G]almost through the door
But there's a whole lot [D]more
you just [G]can't ig[D]nore
[G]The telephone's sur[D]e,
you know [G]the [D]score
[C]But don[G]'t let this upr[D]oar
dis[G]sipate your [D]encore
[A]It's

[Verse 5]
written [D]in the [A]news
how you [D]paid your dues
But [A]you've [C]no [D]ex cuse for
the [A]people [C]you [D]ab use

[Verse 6]
[D]
When you reach num[G]ber [D]one
you [G]can beat your drum
[C]Sac[G]k your roadies in Birmingham
When your record is [D]platinum,
you [G]can stick it to [C]the bath[G]
To the [D]wall like you've
[G]always [A]planned

[Verse 7]
It's [A]written in the [D]news [A]how[C]
you paid [D]your dues
[A]There's [C]no [D]excuse for
the [A]people [C]you [G]ab [D]use
[G][D]

[Verse 8]
[F]Whe[G]n you re[D]ach
number [F]ten
[G]People [D]you [F]abuse, [G]no [D]exc[F]use[G][D]
[F]For the peo[G]ple you[D] abu[F]se[G][D]
[F]You got [G]no ex[D]cuse[F][G][D]
For the [F]people [G]you [D]abuse
