Intro: Cbma7 Gbma7  E

Eb              Db                                 Cb

  Who put fifty tons of shit on the Foreign Office roof?

Eb                       Cb

   Who suffers from nine known diseases?

Gbma7     E

      Who gets up in the morning when the sun comes up

    Eb                 Db

And make their beds of paper clips and bus tickets

Cb

All around their heads

    Bb                      C

Who congregate around Tra - falgar Square

D                         Gm

  Taking pot shots at the tourists

          Cm

Oh you've got to watch out

         Gm                             Cm

When you wander round the square in the morning

F11

   Cause they're everywhere, they're everywhere.



Cbma7                         Gbma7

Here we have an honest man, a civil servant to boot

   E                            Eb

He lived high up in the Ministry

            Db                         Cb

And when he wished to make a point, he knew just what to do

Eb                            Cbma7             Gbma7

   His window ledges were all covered in grease

E                  Eb

I want them out of here

                 Db

He said to me, I want them gone

     Bb             C

Be - cause you see,   oh don't you see

D                          Gm

None of us are getting any younger

              Cm

You've got to follow your nose

          Gm                           Cm

And if it tells you that you've got to go

                   F11

Well that's because   they're everywhere, they're everywhere...



Cbma7                            Gbma7

So we called in those men, those horrible men

    E                           Eb

And set them to work on the rooftops

              Db                       Cbma7

You see their van is very plain, and I know they're too ashamed

   Eb                                 Cbma7

To wear their "by-appointment" badges any-more

Gbma7                        E

Sometimes they use Vaseline, sometimes they use the pill

Eb                      Db         Cbma7

   I've often seen them with a gun

           Bb               C

But as the years go by, old habits seem to die

    D                             Gm

And nowadays they knockatize them all

          Cm

Oh you've got to watch out

       Gm                              Cm

As you wander 'round the Square in the morning

F11

   They're everywhere, they're everywhere.
