THE HUNT - NEW MODEL ARMY (LP GHOST OF CAIN)
C We went into town on the Tuesday night, C Searching all the places that you hang about EC We're looking for you C In the back street cellar dive drinking clubs C In the discotheques and the garning pubs EC We're looking for you
D (V.) You will pay the price for my own sweet brother C (III.) And what he has become D (V.) And a hundred other boys and girls FG And all that you have done...
C We picked up the trail at the Seven Crowns C One of your cronies - he was doing your rounds EC We followed him C Just a silhouette figure up Market Pass C Where the headlamps shine on the broken glass EC We followed him
D Over the bridge by the old canal C Where the shadows dance on the lighted wall D He stopped to light up a cigarette FG And we dived into a doorway
[Chorus:] AGF No police, no summons, no courts of law AGF No proper procedure, no rules of war AGF No mitigating circumstance AGF No lawyers fees, no second chance
C There are larses getting trouble on their own home beat C There are old folk battered in the open street EC In this city of ours C There are eyes that see but say nothing at all C There are ears that hear but they don't recall EC In this city of ours
D So we followed your man back to your front door C And we're waiting for you outside D 'Cos not everybody here is scared of you FG Not everybody passed on the other side
[Chorus]
F (VIII.) And we could spend our whole lives waiting EB For some thunderbolt to come F (VIII.) An we could spend our whole lives waiting EB For some justice to be done FAFAF Unless we make our own
