De Do Do Do De Da Da Da
The Police
Zenyatta Mondata 1980
This song is about the way 'upper class' people
use words to confuse and manipulate people.
The chords are easier than they look.

[Verse 1]
ADon't think F#mme unkC#mind
AWords are F#mhard to fC#mind

DAnd when their eloquence esEcapes me
DTheir logic ties me up and Erapes meD

[Verse 2]
APoets, F#mpriests and poliC#mticians
AHave words to F#mthank for their poC#msitions

D'Cos when their eloquence esEcapes you
DTheir logic ties you up and Erapes youD
