This is just a really simple version of this excellent song. But it sounds good to me, so here you go. Tabbed by Dave Anderson Intro - Em B Am C
(C)         Em
I'm sick of working for a living

         B  
I'm just ticking off the days till I die

                 Am
Oh, I miss you Louise, yeah...

        C
And the sickest little pleasures keep me going in between pulling teeth

Em
Oh periscope up

                        B
I've been looking for a ladder

                            Am
I need to see the commander in chief

    C
And remind him what was passed onto me

    Em
Your mum don't sleep!

        B
And the friends you keep!

         Am               Em
I didn't raise a thief!

         B
I didn't raise a thief!

    Am
But the leaders of the free world

    G                               B
Are just little boys throwing stones

    Am
And it's easy to ignore

     G                                         B
Till they're knocking on the door of your homes
(Solo - Em B Am C)
   Em
My thinking isn't driven

        B
But the music always gives me a lift

              Am
I'm so easy to please, yeah

      C
But I think we dropped the baton like the 60's didn't happen, oh no!

Em
Oh periscope up

                        B
Should be looking for a ladder

                               Am
I need to see the commander in chief

    C
And remind him what was passed onto me

Em
Your mum don't sleep!

        B
And the friends you keep!

         Am             Em
I didn't raise a thief!

         B
I didn't raise a thief!

    Am
But the leaders of the free world

    G                                B
Are just little boys throwing stones

    Am                 
And it's easy to ignore

             G                                  B
Till they're knocking on the door of your homes

    Am
But the leaders of the free world

    G                                B
Are just little boys throwing stones

    Am                 
And it's easy to ignore

             G                                  B
Till they're knocking on the door of your homes

Em                                        B
Passing the gun from father to feckless son

      Am                                            C
We're climbing a landslide where only the good die young

Em                                        B
Passing the gun from father to feckless son

      Am                                            C
We're climbing a landslide where only the good die young
