Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]We [Cm]want [C]Fred[Cm]die
for our leader
Freddie [C]is a man [G]of class
We [C]want Freddie for our [Cm]leader
[C]All [G]stand and raise
your champagne [C]glass[Cm]

[Verse 2]
[Cm]Gentlemen and assassins
and ladies of the night
I call upon you this evening in the
[G]hope of shedding some light
I can't go into [C]detail or fin
[G]ger unfounded fools
But [Cm]there are scumbags here among[G]st
us that [Cm]are not [Ab]playing [Cm]to the rules

[Verse 3]
I've [Cm]rounded up the low-
life and local CID
Offered a free massage or
[C]else [G]the third degree
There is no simple solution
[C]in this life we lead
So [G]make things easy for yourself
to [Cm]the baronage concede

[Verse 4]
[Cm]We w[C]ant Freddie fo[Cm]r our leader
Freddie [C]is a man of [G]class
We [C]want Fred[G]die [Cm]for our lead[C]er
[G]All stand and raise your champagne gla[C]ss,
yeah
[Cm]Peace shall[C][Cm]

[Verse 5]
not prevail in Purley
came the stark warning today
From his hospital bed Drip Fed Fred
vowed he was here to stay
[G]"I'll [C]tel[Cm]l you something for nothing," he [C]cla[G]imed,
"Never in all my days
Have I felt so intimidated by the [Cm]cheap

[Interlude 1]
tactics on display"
[Cm][G]
[Cm]
[G]
[Cm]

[Verse 6]
[Cm]And now approaching the podi[G]um,
[Cm]the Right Honourable Reverend Gree[G]ne
"We [Cm]are gathered here this evening
to pay our due respects
To Drip Fed Fred who late last night
[G]fell out of his prison bed
We know the nonce behind it,
who slipped the night PD
The word is out now without doubt
you [Cm]will answer to me"

[Verse 7]
[Cm]Gentlemen and assassins
and ladies of the night
I call upon you this evening in the
[G]hope of shedding new light
[Cm]There is a[G] simple solution,
one called honour amongst thieves
So, we'll take pity on your souls
and [Cm]only break your knees

[Outro 1]
