I always find peace in arctic monkeys' songs, and this song especially calms me down for some reason unknown. Enjoy the music, I hope you dig the new guitar sound :) I recorded everything in this cover last night instead of studying for my exams..haha, the guitar line is not identical to the original but I still think it sounds good :) again, the song is from arctic monkeys' first album 'whatever people say I am, that's what i'm not'
Chords: Dmaj7 C#m7
Up rolled the riot van
Bm7 Dmaj7 C#m7
And sparked excitement in the boys
Bm7 Dmaj7 C#m7
But the policemen look annoyed
Bm7 Dmaj7 C#m7 Bm7
Perhaps these are ones they should avoid
A C#m7 Bm7 E E6 E
They got a chase last night from men with truncheon's dressed in hats
A C#m7 Bm7
They didn't do that much wrong, still ran away though for the laugh E E6 E
just for the laugh
Please just stop talking
Because they won't find us if you do
Oh those silly boys in blue
Well they won't catch me and you
Have you been drinking son, you don't look old enough to me
I'm sorry officer is there a certain age you're supposed to be?
nobody told me
Up rolled the riot van
And these lads just wind the coppers up
Ask why they don't catch proper crooks
Get their address and their name's took
But they couldn't care less
SOLO

He got thrown in the riot van
And all the coppers kicked him in
And there was no way he could win
Just had to take it on the chin
