Stompin' Tom Fan Tangle Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G]

[Verse 1]
[G]It was early in May of [C]2001,[G]
I'm reading my paper,
the Vancouver [C]Sun[D].
Just flip[G]ping some pages
and [C]what did I [G]see?
This feller named [D]Sandler
[G]was men[D]tioning [G]me.
He said that the Mounties
arres[C]ted some [G]men
For being too much of a
Stompin' Tom [D]fan
Some [G]neighbor complained
how his [C]records would [G]blare
And now he's in jail
[D]for polluting the [G]air
Well, it happened in Langley,
way [C]out in B [G].C. Cleland and
Beg were the R .C .M [D].P.
[G]John Michael Hoffenden
[C]was the man's [G]name
And for playing the stomper[D],
[G]it [D]brought him to [G]shame.
This man over sixty,
they [C]raided his [G]place
They took him by force
and they sprayed him with [D]mace
And if [G]you never heard
such a [C]thing in your life
[G]Why, they even came back
and ar[D]rested his [G]wife
She had called the reporters
and [C]there on the [G]phone.
They could hear the commotion
outside of her [D]home.
They [G]broke down her door
and they [C]dragged her [G]away.
Then they hung up the phone
an[D]d s[G]aid h[D]ave a nice d[G]ay.
Now everything's quiet
in [C]this neighborhood
[G]with Bach and Beethoven
When their music is [D]good,
They're [G]oiling their mowers
and [C]washing ma[G]chines,
Cause if they get noisy,
[D]them Mounties get [G]mean.[D][G]
And if you have a neighbor
that's [C]bothering [G]you,
By playing that stomper,
then here's what to [D]do,
Just [G]call the police and
create [C]enough [G]roar,
And you won't have to hear
[D]Stomp[G]in' [D]Tom [G]anymore.
Just call up the Mounties
and [C]they will make [G]sure
You won't have to hear
Stomp[D]in' Tom anymore.
[G]
