Chords with lyrics

Intro:
A minorAm G+G FF E MajorE

Verse 1:
  A minorAm        G+G
Oh you, you walk on past
   D MajorD
Your lips cut a smile on your face (Your scalding face)
    A minorAm      G+G
To the cage, to the cage
     D MajorD
She was a beauty in a cage

Verse 2:
A minorAm       G+G
Too, too high a price
  D MajorD
To drink rotting wine from your hands (Your fearful hands)
N.C.
Get me to a doctor's I've been told
FF *
Someone's back in town, the chips are down
G+G *
I just cut and blackout
N.C.
I'm under Japanese influence
            A minorAm
And my honour's at stake

Verse 3:
          G+G
The weather's grim, ice on the cages
         FF
Me, I'm Robin Hood and I puff on my cigarette
       E MajorE
Panthers are steaming, stalking, screaming

Pre-Chorus:
E MajorE
If you don't stay tonight
A minorAm   G+G        FF
I will take that plane tonight
   A minorAm       G+G       FF E MajorE
I've nothing to lose, nothing to gain
   A minorAm       G+G
I'll kiss you in the rain
FF           E MajorE
Kiss you in the rain (kiss you in the rain)
A minorAm          G+G
Kiss you in the rain (kiss you in the rain)
FF      E MajorE
In the rain (In the rain)
          FF * G+G *
Get me to the doctor

Chorus:
A minorAm          G+G
Get me off the streets (get some protection)
FF        E MajorE
Get me on my feet (get some direction)
E MajorE
Hot air gets me into a blackout
A minorAm             G+G    FF
Oh, get me off the streets
E MajorE
Get some protection
A minorAm          G+G FF E MajorE
Oh, get me on my feet  (wo-ooh!)

Chorus:
A minorAm
While the streets block off
G+G             FF              E MajorE
Getting some skin exposure to the blackout (get some protection)
A minorAm        G+G  FF      E MajorE          A minorAm G+G FF E MajorE
Get me on my feet  (get some direction, wo-ooh!)
