Biography:
Formed during the initial onslaught of U.K. punk in 1976, Manchester's Slaughter & the Dogs were the first group to release a single (the overlooked classic "Cranked Up Really High") on trailblazing hometown independent label Rabid Records. Clearly influenced by the more raucous end of glam rock -- the band's name was drawn from the albums Slaughter on 10th Avenue by Mick Ronson and Diamond Dogs by David Bowie -- the group's lineup consisted of vocalist Wayne Barrett, guitarist Mick Rossi, bassist Howard Bates, and drummer Mad Muffet.

VERSE:
F# B
Wearing boots and short hair cuts
We will kick you in the gut but no luck
They have all grown up
They drink tea from a cup.
Some get married and settle down.
Others they leave for a foreign town.
Fighting gangs every night.
We use sticks hit them in the Kite.
D C bass riff x1
Where have all the boot boys gone ?
Hammy, Jacko, Boots and John
Where have all the boot boys gone ?
It looks like I am the only one. The one
VERSE: same chords as first
Friday came we go to a dance hall.
Battering stuff we have a ball .
We do not know what we have done.
We go see United because we are having fun
We get released on fifty quid bail.
But I know I will end up in jail.
I was a leader I was so proud .
I hung with a gang, what a crowd
REPEAT CHORUS:
VERSE:
Now it has been five years or more.
I am a skin do not know what for .
I do not know what I am.
I do not see or give a damn .
I must stop this M.O.D
I must try, try and be me.
I must listen. I must try.
I must move. Move or die !
CHORUS:
BREAK: main riff dampened x4 then F# E D C# x4 (STOP)

"Come on do you want to scrap ? get ready then"
