Intro
(C) Dm
I'm sick of working for a living
A
I'm just ticking off the days till I die
Gm
Oh, I miss you Louise, yeah...
A#
And the sickest little pleasures keep me going in between pulling teeth
Dm
Oh periscope up
A
I've been looking for a ladder
Gm
I need to see the commander in chief
A#
And remind him what was passed onto me
Dm
Your mum don't sleep!
A
And the friends you keep!
Gm Dm
I didn't raise a thief!
A
I didn't raise a thief!
Gm
But the leaders of the free world
F A
Are just little boys throwing stones
Gm
And it's easy to ignore
F A
Till they're knocking on the door of your homes
(Solo - Dm A Gm C)
Dm
My thinking isn't driven
A
But the music always gives me a lift
Gm
I'm so easy to please, yeah
A#
But I think we dropped the baton like the 60's didn't happen, oh no!

Oh periscope up

Should be looking for a ladder

Passing the gun from father to feckless son
Gm A#
We're climbing a landslide where only the good die young
