Riot Van Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Chorus 1]
Up rolls [C]a riot v[Bm]an
And [Am]sparks excitement in the boys
[C][Bm]
But [Am]the policemen look annoyed
[C][Bm]
Perhaps [Am]these are ones they should avoid
[C][Bm][Am]

[Verse 1]
[G]Got a chase last night
[Bm]From men with truncheons
[Am]dressed in [D]hats
[G]We didn't do that much wrong
[Bm]Still ran away though, for the laugh[Am]
Just for the [D]laugh

[Chorus 2]
And please just [C]stop talk[Bm]ing
'Cause [Am]they won't find us if you do
[C][Bm]
[Am]Oh, those silly boys in blue
[C][Bm]
[Am]Well, they won't catch me and you
[C][Bm][Am]

[Verse 2]
[G]"Have you been drinking, son[Bm]?
You don't look old [Am]enough to [D]me"
[G]"I'm sorry, officer
Is [Bm]there a certain age you're supposed [Am]to be?
'Cause nobody [D]told me"

[Chorus 3]
And up rolls [C]the riot [Bm]van
And these [Am]lads just wind the coppers up
[C][Bm]
They ask [Am]why they don't catch proper crooks
[C][Bm]
They get [Am]their address and their names
[C]too[Bm]k[Am]

[Solo 1]
But they couldn't care less
[G][Bm][Am][D]
[G][Bm][Am][D]

[Chorus 4]
Thrown in [C]the riot [Bm]van
And [Am]all the coppers kicked him in
[C][Bm]
And [Am]there was no way he could win
[C][Bm]
Just [Am]had to take it on the chin
[C][Bm][Am]
