                   EXERCISING SOME CONTROL
                         ROY HARPER

INTRO:
NONE

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

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


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


CHORUS:
      E          A        D   F#  B
`I`m exercising some control, I said
  E          A        D F# B
`Exercising some control
 E          A        D  F#
Exercising some control.`


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

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


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


CHORUS:
     E          A        D  F# B
For exercising some control-ol-ol`
  E         A        D  F#  B
Exercising some control
 E          A        D  F#
Exercising some control


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


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