The Jam – Hey Mister (Guitar)

C                     F
Because it's real you think it's a joke

  C                                    F
Because it's on your doorstep you have to have a poke

       Dm  G7
At someone

     C                     F
It's only a cliche because it's all true

C                          F
Time after time it happens through and through

     Dm            G
To a new generation

C                           F
You're just so smug in your elected seat

                C                               F
You've got your papers sorted out but you can't find your feet

          Dm            G
Well, I'm not surprised

G                    Bm
Hey mister with your head in the clouds

    G
You can't see further than the shillings and pounds

G
The things that you say don't mean nothing anymore

G
You have no control they've broken down all the doors

        F                    Fm
And the only way that you'll fix them up

   C          F  C  F
Is another war

       C                          F
If you think I'm gonna die in a financial war

            C
You've got another thing coming and

    F                   Dm7         G7
And what's more there's lots like me

    C                            F
You juggle lives around with the stroke of a pen

          C                                F
But we've paid to see that move and now we won't pay again

    Dm              G
The cost is too high

G                            Bm
Hey mister your smiles been erased

    G
You can't understand why we're losing face

G
Perhaps it's the promises that you never kept

G
"Never had it so good"

                        F  Fm  C
Well do you want a bet?
