Verse 1
    D 
Now back in the days of the caveman, 
          A7 
History recalls, 
    A7 
Man had his burning desire to scratch his 
            D 
Messages on walls. 
    D 
And even today you'll find "Joe Loves May" 
    D7                 G 
Or "Mavis Loves Little Jim" 
    G                D 
Or "Little Jim Loves Charlie" 
      A7                    D 
We're gonna keep our eye on him. 
 
Chorus 1
                 D         G 
This is known as graffiti, graffiti, 
          A7                             D 
They even do it on the tombstones in the cemetery. 
   D                       G 
"Beneath here lies dentist Rafferty" 
          A7                               D 
Someone's written, "He is filling his last cavity" 
    D                 G 
And lower down, these words you may discover, 
   A7              N.C.       D 
"Beneath this sod, there lies another" 
 
Verse 2
        D 
Now sometimes there's advice and it's very, very nice, 
                        A7 
Sometimes it is superfluous, 
      A7 
Like "Don't put your cat in the washing machine 
                               D 
Or you might get a sock in the puss" 
 D 
"Carrots will make kissing s*xy, 
       D7                      G 
You've only got to look at the rabbit, 
                                   D 
You can kiss a lady, sure jump her once or twice, 
    A7                 D 
But don't get into the habit" 
 
Chorus 2
           D         G 
Oh this is graffiti, graffiti, 
           A7                   D 
It needn't lead to a sense of depravity, 
                G 
Why each can be quite witty, 
              A7           D 
Because there is no law of graffiti, 
      A7           D 
There is no law of graffiti, 
      A7           G    A7 D 
There is no law of graf-fi-ti.
