Punks Outside The Secret Police Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Em]Don't drink, don't eat,
don't play with your drugs
Don't have a silly hand, you won't get far
Da da [Am]da, [Em]da da da
[Am]Da d[Em]a da, da da da
Punks outside the secret police
Two years after their release
[Am]The [Em]secret police thought that
they got them well beaten
[Am]Two [Em]years on the old guard's gone
They got a brand new uniform
The secret police themselves
are well beaten
Well [Am]beaten
Well [Em]beaten
This morning we met at 9 .15 at
the gravestone of the old regime
[Am]20 p[Em]unks and 7 of us over from
Ireland
And we're in the shades
of democracy
They're covered in the colours
of a new country
Even in the
Mexicans, they know this land is their land
This land is [Am]their land,
this land is [F]their land
[Em]Da -da -da, da -da -da
They've got spiders' webs
drawn on their heads
And the girls make love
in each other's beds
And the couples are kissing and
jumping and running and laughing
Well this blonde girl climbed
on the roof and she smiled
Behind a nice, fresh,
heartfelt peace sign
And her crazy looking
boyfriend grabbed her
And he kissed her
He really [Am]kissed her
Da -da -da
[F]Da -da -da
Da -da [Em]-da
Da -da -da
[Am]Well [Em]he felt[G]
Your very own [D]revolu[Em]tion
Revolution
And he [C]wrote
The writing on the [G]wall
Can [D]you [Em]feel
Your very own revolu[C]tion
Revolution
Can you [G]read the [D]writing on your [Em]wall?
-da -da
Da -da -da
Da -da -da
-da -da
Back home,
Belfast gets bombed and
the elections roll on and on
You can smell the cynicism all
the way from the middle of
Europe
Well there are punks outside
the secret police
Two years after their release
Two years after they got a good beating
Now they're laughing with the
guard in this old courtyard
And the door where your
guard sleeps after the stars
I don't wanna join them
Yeah, we can't [Am]join them
We can't [F]join them
[Em]Da -da -da
Da -da -da
Da -da [Am]-da
Da [F]-da -da
[Am]I wa[Em]nna see punk side slide to secret place
I wanna see punk side slide to secret place
I wanna see punk side slide to secret place
I [G]wanna see [Em]punk side slide to secret place
I
I see punks inside the secret place
Punks inside the secret place
Don't play this saxophone,
[Em]don't listen to jazz music.
Don't play this saxophone.
you
