On the wire like a ragged old scarecrow

Bloody hands and broken back

When they fire see him pirouette solo

Jump in time to the rat-a-tat

x2,

[Verse 3]

By the wall in a silhouette standing

Bm A G D Dsus4

Through a flash of sudden light

Cigarette from his mouth just hanging

Bm A G D

Paper square to his heart pinned tight

[Interlude]

G D A G

[Verse 4]

Oooh..

Gather 'round reluctant marksmen

They dispatch their precious cargo

Bm A G D Dsus4

And knock him back right off his feet

D G A

And they pray may no one follow

Bm A G D Dsus4

Better still to face the beast

D G A

When the field has become a garden

Bm A G D Dsus4

And the wall has stood the test

D G A

Children play and the dogs run barking

Bm A G D Dsus4

Who would think or who would guess?
