The Clash – Bankrobber (Guitar)

[Chorus 1]    G          C      G
          My daddy was a bankrobber,

                               Am  G
          But he never hurt no-body.

                           C         D
          He just loved to live that way,

                 C        D          G 
          And he loved to steal your  money.

[Verse 1] G                C       G
         Some is rich, and some is poor,

                            Am    G
         That's the way the world is.

                                C     D
         But i don't believe in lying back,

         C          D        G
         Sayin' how bad your  luck is.

         G             C       G
         So we came to jazz it up,

                          Am   G
         We never loved a shovel.

                            C         D
         Break your back to earn your pay,

             C         D      G
         An' don't for-get to  grovel.

[Chorus 2] G          C      G
          Daddy was a bankrobber 

                               Am  G
          But he never hurt no-body

                           C         D
          He just loved to live that way

                 C        D         G
          And he loved to take your money

[Verse 2]     G            C       G
         The old man spoke up in a bar

                              Am    G
         Said i never been in prison

                            C      D
         A lifetime serving one ma-chine

            C         D          G
         Is ten times worse than  prison

         G                  C       G
         Imagine if all the boys in jail

                              Am  G
         Could now get out to-gether

                                         C      D
         Whadda you think they'd want to say to us?

         C            D    G
         While he was being clever

         G                        C       G
         Someday you'll meet your rocking chair

                                 Am   G
         'Cos that's where we're spinning

                                    C         D
         There's no poiunt to wanna comb your hair

         C         D        G
         When it's grey and thinning

[Verse 3] G            C       G
         So we came to jazz it up,

                          Am    G
         We never loved a shovel.

                            C         D
         Break your back to earn your pay,

             C         D       G
         An' don't for-get to  grovel. Hey! 

               G
         Get a-way, get away, get away, get away,

                                      Am   G
         Get away, get away, get away.

          |G   |G   |G   |Am  G|G   |C  D|C  D|G   ||
               Run rabbit run...

                           C           D
         I can't find that hole in the wall

               C              D     G
         And i know that they never  will.
