Itinerant child
De akkoorden in dit nummer
Intro: C7 Verse 1: C7 I took out all the seats, And away I went, F7 Its a right old banger, C7 And the chassis bent. It's got a great big peace sign, Across the back, F7 And most of the windows, C7 Have been painted black, (Painted black). Verse 2: C7 The windshields cracked, Its a bugger to drive, F7 It starts making smoke, C7 Over forty-five. It's a phsychedelic nightmare, With a million leaks, F7 It's home-sweet-home, C7 To some sweet arse freaks. Chorus 1: C7 Slow down, F7 I-tinerant child, Bb7 C7 The road is full of danger. C7 Slow down, F7 I-tinerant child, Bb7 C7 Theres no more welcome, stanger. Verse 3: C7 Soon I was rumbling, Through the morning fog, F7 With my long haired children, C7 And my one eyed dog. With the trucks and the buses, And the trailer-vans, F7 My long throw horns, C7 Playing Steely Dan, (Steely Dan). Verse 4: C7 We straggled out for miles, Along the Beggars Hill, F7 When the word came down, C7 That we'd lost Old Bill. You can bet your boots I'm coming, When the times are hard, F7 That's why they keep my dossier, C7 At Scotland Yard. Chorus 2: C7 Slow down, F7 I-tinerant child, Bb7 C7 You're still accele-rating. C7 Slow down, F7 I-tinerant child, Bb7 C7 The boys in blue are waiting. Break: Gm F Itinerant child, C7 Gm Dont do what your doing, F Itinerant child, You'd better slow down. Solo: C7 Verse 5: C7 We drove into Happy Valley, Seeking peace and love, F7 With a lone helicopter, C7 Hanging up above. We didnt realise, Until we hit the field, F7 There were four hundred cozzers, C7 Holding riot sheilds. Verse 6: C7 They terrorized our babies, And they broke our heads, F7 It's a stone fucking miracle, C7 There's no-one dead. They turned my ramshackle home, Into a burning wreck, F7 My one-eyed dog, C7 Got a broken neck. Chorus 3: C7 Slow down, F7 I-tinerant child, Bb7 C7 The road is full of danger. C7 Slow down, F7 I-tinerant child, Bb7 C7 Theres no more welcome, stanger. C7 Slow down, F7 I-tinerant child, Bb7 C7 You're still accele-rating. C7 Slow down, F7 I-tinerant child, Bb7 C7 The boys in blue are waiting. Solo: C7
