Verse 1

G
High on the mountain stands a boat
Bm
But are they gods or real folk?
G
We can't see the fire but we smell the smoke
Bm
Who'll take the plough? Who'll be the yoke?
G
Night after night I don't believe
Bm
We are the ones you won't deceive
G
Not a thing will you achieve
Bm
'cos we belong and we won't leave

Chorus:

G
Trouble, trouble
Bm
I try to chase trouble but it's chasing me
G
Trouble, trouble
Bm
Trouble with a capital T

Verse 2

G
Lay down your silver and your gold
Bm
I'm a man who can't be sold
G
And, even when my heart grows cold
Bm
I'll curse your evil stranglehold
G
The waves are running much too high
Bm
It's got so dark can't see the sky
G
But a change is coming by and by
Bm
A time to laugh, a time to die

Chorus

G
Trouble, trouble
Bm
I try to chase trouble but it's chasing me
G
Trouble, trouble
Bm
Trouble with a capital T

Verse 3

G
Been so long away from home
Bm
I almost made this place my own
G
Now it seems I'll soon be gone
Bm
Moving on and all alone
G
High on the mountain stands a boat
Bm
But are they gods or real folk?
G
We can't see the fire but we smell the smoke
Bm
Who'll take the plough? Who'll be the yoke?

Outro

G
Trouble, trouble
Bm
I try to chase trouble but it's chasing me
G
Trouble, trouble
Bm
Trouble with a capital T

G
Trouble, trouble
Bm
I try to chase trouble but it's chasing me
G
Trouble, trouble

Not sure about the guitar solo as it sounds a bit dodgy against the studio version but
perfect with live versions. Also when he plays it live, he uses some bends at the start
the solo.

Enjoy :)
