[Verse]
Now CI'm a Gsocial Coutcast
A Fmodern-day Crefugee
FJoy turns to Ggloom when I Fwalk into a Groom
They Dall turn their back upon Gme

I've Fnot murdered anyone Emyet
But Fyou would Fthink I was GCharles bloody AmManson
When DI light up a GcigaretCteA  
[Bridge]
D  G  C  G
[Verse]
CSome folk get their Gkicks from Calcohol
FSome stuff their nose with Ccocaine
FSome folk like Gknocking old Fwomen Gabout
DSome like tae batter their Gweans
There's Cmasochists, Gsadists or Crapists
FFolk that like dressing in Emdrag
FI'm no' like Fthem, Gthat's no' my Amgame
Gimme Dpeace just to Glight one more CfagA

D  G  C  G
[Verse]
You can Csnuff it doing Gtoo much Cexercise
You can Fsnuff it not doing Cenough
You can Fsnuff it by Geating too Flittle
You Gknow, you can Dsnuff it eating too Gmuch
You can Csnuff it Gstaying out Clate at night
You can Fsnuff it lying in your Embed
So my Fway of Fsnuffing is to Gkeep right on Ampuffing
It's Don my Gown bloody CheadA  
It's Don my Gown bloody CheadG  
[Outro]
Spare a Cthought for Gall the Csmokers
FDoing their bit for the CCrown
FRemember Gwhen a Fsmoker lights Gup

Yes he is
He's Dkeeping your Gincome tax Cdown
