Chords

[Intro] Bb Eb Bb Eb C7 F7 Bb G [Verse 1]
C/G
The adventurous type would call up a friend and

F/A
Make up a plan to meet and then

G7/B
The adventurous type would make his way there

Em/B
His friend wouldn't show, but he wouldn't care

F/C
'cause everyone knows the plan's for the fools

Dm
The adventurous type makes up his own rules

Bb/D
Much better by half to follow your nose

G
Do something rash and see where it goes

C/G
The adventurous type would stick out a thumb

F/A
And jumps in whatever car comes along

G7/B
Now here's an interesting group of guys

Em/B
All tattoos, skin heads, leather and knives

F/C
They drive and drive and drive some more

Aaug/C#
Their stereo pumping and foot to the floor

Dm
They speak in a language he can't understand

F
But that doesn't faze the adventurous man
[Chorus]
Bb                       Eb
I want to know what it's like

I want to know what it's like

C7       F7
To be the adventurous type
Bb G [Verse 2]
C/G
The adventurous type gets out of the car

F/A
And follows his new friends into a bar

G7/B
And after a few unspeakable drinks

Em/B
And plates of inedible food he thinks

F/C
The adventurous type can do better than this

Dm
He says: "What's that over there?" and slips

Bb/D
Away through the kitchen into the alley

G
Into the midst of a facist rally

C/G
They goose step, goose step back through the bar

F/A
His former companions are raising their arms

G7/B
And singing a song that sounds a bit like

Em/B
"Death to all adventurous types"

F/C
Then with a crash, a hundred police

Aaug/C#
With tear gas and truncheons blast in from the street

Dm
Chaos ensues, he runs for the door

F
But is hit by a bottle and slumps to the floor
[Chorus]
Bb                       Eb
I want to know what it's like

Bb                       Eb
I want to know what it's like

C7       F7
To be the adventurous type
[Instrumental] Bb Eb Bb Eb C7 F7 B6 [Bridge]
Abm
The adventurous type wakes up in a pool

E/Ab
Of mud and blood and fish and drool

Em/B
He looks at his watch, his watch isn't there

Em/B
Along with his wallet and most of his hair

C7b5
That's when he notices he's on a ship

C7
That's rolling and pitching and making him sick

Cm7/F
He scans the horizon, no land in sight

F7
Oh my god, what a brilliant night!
[Pre-Chorus]
Bb/F                     Bb/G
I want to know what it's like

I want to know what it's like

To be the adventurous type

(...       know what it's like) I want to know what it's like

(I want to sleep with your wife)

Bb                       Eb
(I want to know what it's like)
