Classic 1980 punk single.
[Intro]
G x15 D D
G D
Think about the fat men who wear their slippers to drive they're cars
G D
while their machines are running, they wont walk very far
C D
they never realise what they've got, one day they will lose the lot because
[Chorus]
E G D
What's gonna happen when the buses don't run
E G D
and what's gonna happen when the winter comes
C
what are you gonna do,
D
what are you gonna do when the oil runs out?
[BREAK]
D G D G D G C

Think about the record industry and the people its used

[CHORUS]

What's gonna happen when the buses don't run

what are you gonna do when the oil runs out?

what about the tax exiles who live in the sun
C G D
when the oil runs out, they'll have no-where to run

they're forever panic buying, Oh in case things run out
C D
they never realise what they've got, one day they will lose the lot because....
[Chorus]
E G D
What gonna happen when cycling becomes a strain

what are you gonna do when the oil runs out?
