          EXERCISING SOME CONTROL
             ROY HARPER

INTRO:
NONE

VERSE:
 D MajorD
I`ve got a dog he`s like a two ton frog
  G+G         D MajorD
I call him `some control`
 A augmentedA
Yesterday I took him for his walkies in the park
    D MajorD     G+G     D MajorD
He`s a beautiful thundering soul

  A augmentedA               D MajorD    G+G   D MajorD
At first he never took a fancy to anyone passing by
     E MajorE
Until a big fat cop came into his sights
                A augmentedA
And he had to know the reason why

PRE-CHORUS:
    D MajorD
So he took his little piece out of the gentleman`s leg
     G+G           F#F#
And the gentleman was sore surprised
   G+G            D MajorD  F#F#  B minorBm
And limping up to me he whispered quietly
D MajorD   F#F#    BB
 `What are you playing at?`


CHORUS:
   E MajorE     A augmentedA    D MajorD  F#F# BB
`I`m exercising some control, I said
 E MajorE     A augmentedA    D MajorD F#F# BB
`Exercising some control
 E MajorE     A augmentedA    D MajorD F#F#
Exercising some control.`

VERSE:
 D MajorD
When I awoke I gave meself a poke
  G+G              D MajorD
To make sure that I was still alive
  A augmentedA
I noticed I was standing in a courtroom with a judge
    D MajorD         G+G        D MajorD
So I thought I`d better show him how to jive

  A augmentedA
As I was freaking out with me fancy
   D MajorD     G+G      D MajorD
The judge said, `Give us a kiss`
  E MajorE
I said, `Oh dear, that`s a little bit queer
                   A augmentedA
I think I`ll have to give this one a miss.`


PRE-CHORUS:
   D MajorD
But just as I was planning on a trip to the moon
    G+G         F#F#
In me everlasting rubber John
  G+G             D MajorD    F#F#   B minorBm
He said `OK Mutton Jeff— it`s no good acting deaf
D MajorD    F#F#   BB
 Fined twenty quid you creep


CHORUS:
   E MajorE     A augmentedA    D MajorD F#F# BB
For exercising some control-ol-ol`
 E MajorE     A augmentedA    D MajorD F#F# BB
Exercising some control
 E MajorE     A augmentedA    D MajorD F#F#
Exercising some control


BREAK:
 B minorBm              BB
Underneath the washing powder headlines
    E minorEm   E MajorE
We`ll meet at ten past nine
 A augmentedA
You can do a clog-dance on the top of my chapatti
D MajorD  F#F#  BB
 I don`t care no more


OUTRO:
    E MajorE     A augmentedA    D MajorD F#F# BB
About exercising some control-ol-ol
 E MajorE       A augmentedA    D MajorD  F#F#  BB
Swimming in the tadpole bowl-owl-owl
    E MajorE        A augmentedA    D MajorD  F#F#  BB
Whilst drinking in the tadpole bowl-owl-owl
 E MajorE       A augmentedA    D MajorD  F#F#  BB
Leaking in the tadpole bowl-owl-owl
 E MajorE     A augmentedA    D MajorD
Exercising some control
