             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
[Chorus]
A                          C#m7                        Bm7          E  E6  E 
They got a chase last night from men with truncheons 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
[Verse]
            Dmaj7   C#m7 
Please just stop talking 
                    Bm7              Dmaj7 C#m7 
Because they won't find us if you do 
           Bm7               Dmaj7 C#m7 
Oh, those silly boys in blue 
            Bm7                     Dmaj7 C#m7 Bm7 
Well, they won't catch me and you
[Chorus]
A                          C#m7                     Bm7      E  E6  E 
Have you been drinking son, you don’t look old enough to me 
A                      C#m7                          Bm7 
I’m sorry officer, is there a certain age you’re supposed to be? 
       E  E6  E 
nobody told me
[Verse]
              Dmaj7 C#m7 
Up rolled the riot van 
            Bm7                         Dmaj7 C#m7 
And these lads just wind the coppers up 
     Bm7                                Dmaj7 C#m7 
Ask why they don't catch proper crooks 
       Bm7                              Dmaj7 C#m7 
Get their address and their names took 
          Dmaj7 
But they couldn't care less
[Solo]

[Verse]
              Dmaj7 C#m7 
Thrown in the riot van 
    Bm7                            Dmaj7 C#m7 
And all the coppers kicked him in 
     Bm7                           Dmaj7 C#m7 
And there was no way he could win 
      Bm7                        Dmaj7 C#m7 Bm7 
Just had to take it on the chin
