Wire – Ally In Exile (Guitar)

E          G  G#
An ally in exile

E          G  G#
Receives an urgent dispatch

E                   G  G#
When he's already in trouble

E          G  G#
Unable to relax

E                 G  G#
He recognises the cipher

E            G  G#
Quickly resolves the code

E                G  G#
The contents of the message

E              G  G#
State, area and road

E             G  G#
It was, as he feared

E              G  G#
His cover's been blown

E                 G  G#
The extent of the network

E          G  G#
Is now overblown

E               G  G#
Overgrown the apparatus

E           G  G#
To such an unwelcome event

E          G  G#
Incommunicado

E                G  G#
The last word is sent

A#
He knows that resistance

A#
Is futile but still

A#
He awaits the arrival

A#
He awaits the kill

A
Resistance is futile

A
On arrival they kill

A
He awaits the arrival

A
On arrival they kill

A#
He awaits the arrival

A#
On arrival they kill

E                   G  G#
He breaks down in the theatre

E                         G  G#
But hopes not under these lights

E                G  G#
Specifically those

E                    G  G#
Which gain strategic insights

E                     G  G#
By the best of good fortune

E                      G  G#
He had provisions in store

E                   G  G#
He doubles, then trebles

E               G  G#
The locks on his door

A#
He knows that resistance

A#
Is futile but still

A#
He awaits the arrival

A#
He awaits the kill

A
Resistance is futile

A
On arrival they kill

A
He awaits the arrival

A
Sits perfectly still

A#
Resistance is futile

A#
On arrival they kill

A#
On arrival they kill

A#
On arrival they kill
