Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]Som[G]eon[Am]e's[C][G][Am][C]
hiding
in [G]the bushes with a [Am]telephoto [C]lens
While [F]their editor as[Em]sures them
[D]the means justifies [G]the ends
'Cause we [C]only hunt [G]celebrities,
[Am]it's all a bit [C]of fun
[F]The Scousers never [G]buy [C]the Sun[G]

[Verse 2]
The [C]parents of the miss[G]ing girl
cling [Am]desperately [C]to hope
A [F]copper takes im[Em]proper payments
in a [D]thick brown envel[G]ope
And [C]no one in [G]the newsroom [Am]asks "Where's
this head[C]line [F]from?"
Scousers never [G]buy the [C]Sun

[Verse 3]
[F]Tabloids make their money
betting [C]bullshit baffles brains
And [Dm]they cynically hold [G]up their
hands [C]if anyone complains
And they [F]say: "All we're doing is giv
[Em]ing people what [Am]they want"
Well, they're [G]crying out for justice,
people crying out for justice
And the [C]man they call "The
[G]Digger" casts a [Am]proprietary eye
[C]Over what hap[F]pens in the gutter[Em]
and what [D]goes on in [G]the sky
And he [C]claims he's fit [G]and proper
and the [Am]watchdog sings [C]his song
[F]But the Scousers never [G]buy [C]the Sun[G]

[Verse 4]
In[C]ternational ex[G]ecutives,
[Am]they hang their heads in [C]shame
[F]And tell us with their [Em]hands on heart,
the [D]paper boy's to [G]blame
But [C]you who love that [G]kiss and tell,
[Am]you must bear some guilt[C] as we[F]ll
Scousers never [G]buy [C]the Sun

[Verse 5]
[F]Tabloids make their millions
betting [C]bullshit baffles brains
And they [Dm]cynically hold [G]up their
hands [C]if anyone complains
And they [F]say: "All we're doing is giving
[Em]people what they [Am]want"
Well, they're [G]crying out for justice,

[Interlude 1]
people crying out for justice
[C][G][Am][C][F][Em][D][G]
[C][G][Am][C][F][G][C][G]

[Verse 6]
In the [C]corridors of [G]power [Am]they all
sit down [C]to sup
With the [F]devil and his [Em]minions,
and they [D]ask for his [G]opinions
And the [C]politicians [G]wring their hands [Am]and
cry: "What's to [C]be done?"
[F]But the Scousers never [G]buy
[C]the Sun[G][Am][C]

[Verse 7]
No one comes out [G]looking good
when [Am]all is said and d[C]one
[F]But the Scousers never [G]buy the Sun
[C]
"Justice for the Nottingham Six"
