Capo 2nd fret (goes for the whole song)
Intro: G, C, Em,  Dx2
GRazor tea-Ccups and tip top cEmraic
of the crooked, DBackstreet Lovers and Gsons
Lawless law Cmen walk the streets Emof
Dirty meadows of Dfoul mouthed mothers and Gguns
Brick blacked-up Ckids mugged me the dEmay I
Dran off with your sGister
a young school Cmaid, caught up in a Emworld of
Backstreet DLovers.
Lovers and sCons, I wDaved her Emaway to a GfriendC  
at lDeast that's what she sGaid.
GRotting teeth Cof a grubby gEmran
fill the alleys of the Dstolen roll-ups and Gblunts
a skin-head Cdad came cap in Emhand
with a duster and fDlash of switch blade Gfun
still on the Cdole, though the picket was Embroken
a Dsoiled age agGo.
But he's caught Cup, caught up in a wEmorld of
Backstreet DLovers
Lovers and sCons, I wDaved her Emaway to a GfriendC  
at lDeast that's what she Emsaid.
tangled in the rCoots and tangled in the Gweeds
of a concrete jDungle came that girl from EmLeeds
in torn dress and Ctights,
she ain't no sGlag.
i won her oDver with a '40 Cbag.
I wDaved her Gaway to a fCriendC  
at lDeast that's what she sGaid.
GRazor tea-Ccups and tip top cEmraic
of the crooked, DBackstreet Lovers and Gsons
Lawless law Cmen walk the streets Emof
Dirty meadows of Dfoul mouthed mothers and Gguns
Brick blacked-up Ckids mugged me the dEmay I
Dran off with your sGister
a young school Cmaid, caught up in a Emworld of
Backstreet DLovers.
Lovers and sCons, I wDaved her Emaway to a GfriendC  
at lDeast that's what she sGaid.
GRotting teeth oCf a grubby grEman
fill the alleys of the Dstolen roll-ups and Gblunts
a skin-head Cdad came cap in Emhand
with a duster and fDlash of switch blade Gfun
still on the Cdole, though the picket was Embroken
a Dsoiled age agGo.
But he's caught Cup, caught up in a wEmorld of
