ETON RIFLES             THE JAM

Am  E (x2)

Am  F  G

  C                     Am
Sup up your beer and collect your fags
          C             Am 
There´s a row going on down near Slough
 C                    Am
Get out your mat and pray to the West
 C                     Am              F  G
I´ll get out mine and pray for myself

  C                              Am
Thought you were smart when you took them on
         C                          Am
But you didn´t take a peep in their artillery room
 C                   Am
All that rugby puts hairs on your chest
       C                           Am               F  G
What chance have you got against a tie and a crest?

Chorus:
 F         G    C    Em7/B  Am
Hello, hooray, what a nice day
        Am
For the Eton Rifles - Eton Rifles
 F         G            C  Em7/B  Am
Hello, hooray, I hope rain stops play
          Am
With the Eton Rifles - Eton Rifles

  C                              Am
Thought you were clever when you lit the fuse
      C                                Am
Tore down the House Of Commons in your brand new shoes
    C                     Am
Composed a revolutionary symphony
      C                  Am                  F  G
Then went to bed with a charming young thing

Chorus:
 F         G    C    Em7/B  Am
Hello, hooray, cheers then mate
         Am
It´s the Eton Rifles - Eton Rifles
 F         G         C  Em7/B  Am
Hello, hooray, an extremist scrape
         Am
With the Eton Rifles - Eton Rifles

Am 

 Em              F
What a catalyst you turned out to be
Em                       F                      G
Loaded the guns then you run off home for your tea
  G (N/C)                G (N/C)
Left me standing like a guilty school boy

G  -  G

C  D  C  D  C  D  C  D       Am

Em               F
What a catalyst you turned out to be
Em                        F                     G
Loaded the guns then you run off home for your tea
 G (N/C)                 G (N/C)
Left me standing like a guilty school boy

G  -  G

 C                 Am
We come out of it naturally the worst
  C                           Am
Beaten and bloody, and I was sick down my shirt
 C                           Am
We were no match for their untamed wit
        C                               Am               F  G
Though some of the lads said they´ll be back next week

Chorus (x2):
 F         G              C  Em7/B  Am
Hello, hooray, there´s a price to pay
            Am
For the the Eton Rifles - Eton Rifles
 F         G          C  Em7/B  Am
Hello, hooray, I´d prefer the plague
       Am
To the Eton Rifles - Eton Rifles

 Am
Eton Rifles - Eton Rifles
