DC#m
Up rolled the riot van
BmDC#m
And sparked excitement in the boys
BmDC#m
But the policemen look annoyed
BmDC#mBm
Perhaps these are ones they should avoid
AC#mBmEEE
They got a chase last night from men with truncheons dressed in hats
AC#mBm
They didn't do that much wrong, still ran away though for the laugh
EEE
just for the laugh
DC#m
Please just stop talking
BmDC#m
Because they won't find us if you do
BmDC#m
Oh, those silly boys in blue
BmDC#mBm
Well, they won't catch me and you
AC#mBmEEE
Have you been drinking son, you don’t look old enough to me
AC#mBm
I’m sorry officer, is there a certain age you’re supposed to be?
EEE
nobody told me
DC#m
Up rolled the riot van
BmDC#m
And these lads just wind the coppers up
BmDC#m
Ask why they don't catch proper crooks
BmDC#m
Get their address and their names took
D
But they couldn't care less
[Solo]

DC#m
He got thrown in the riot van
BmDC#m
And all the coppers kicked him in
BmDC#m
And there was no way he could win
BmDC#mBm
Just had to take it on the chin
