Play them thus:

Bb         Gm        Cm        Ab
EADGBE    EADGBE    EADGBE  EADGBE

688766 355333 x35543 466544 In fact, the Gm is more of a Gm7 that resolves to Gm (in tune with the la-la-la-la-las), but it's a pig to play that and sing the words (which don't really scan properly) at the same time, so I don't bother. It sounds okay. From: Harlan L Thompson <[email protected]> THAT'S ENTERTAINMENT- The Jam

Bb                 Gm
A police car and a screaming siren

Bb                  Gm
Pneumatic drill and ripped up concrete

Bb              Gm
A baby wailing, stray dog howling

Bb                        Gm
The screech of brakes and lamp light blinking

Cm          Ab        Cm          Ab    Bb  Gm  Bb  Gm
That's entertainment, that's entertainment

The smash of glass and the rumble of boots An electric train and a ripped up phone booth Paint splatters walls and the cry of a tomcat Lights going out and a kick in the balls I say that's entertainment, that's entertainment-Ahh! (la la la) Days of speed and slow time Mondays Pissing down with rain on a boring Wednesday Watching the news and not eating your tea A freezing cold flat, and damp on the walls I say that's entertainment, that's entertainment Waking up at 6am on a cool warm morning Opening the windows and breathing in petrol An amateur band rehearsing in a nearby yard Watching the telly and thinking about your holidays That's entertainment, that's entertainment-Ahh! (la la la) Waking up from bad dreams and smoking cigarettes Cuddling a warm girl and smelling stale perfume A hot summer's day and sticky black tarmac Feeding ducks in the park and wishing you were far away That's entertainment, that's entertainment Two lovers kissing amongst the scream of midnight Two lovers missing the tranquility of solitude Getting a cab and travelling on buses Reading the grafitti about slashed seat affairs I say that's entertainment, that's entertainment-Ahh! (la la la) La la la... (to fade) NOTE: At last, the complete correct words! I can't understand a thing Paul Weller ever says, but luckily I have the lyric sheet from "Sound Affects". P.S.- does anyone have the words for "The Bitterest Pill"? I kind of figured out the guitar but I don't have the slightest idea what he's saying.
