Biografía:
The Stranglers siempre supieron, unas veces más afortunadas que otras, especialmente en su primera y fenomenal etapa, pero casi siempre con interés, acomodarse a las tendencias sonoras del momento.
Así, con influencias de la Velvet Underground, Television, The Kinks, Zappa, The Rolling Stones, The Doors o, en general, el garage-rock/proto-punk 60’s, pasaron con facilidad del pub rock al punk, la new wave o al pop de sintetizadores, en una larga carrera principiada a mediados de los años 70.

intro: keyboard riff of D A C F G (whole band come in on the G).
guitar stays on the chord of G, while the keyboard riff is played another
three times.
G
Didn't have the money round to buy a Morry Thou
F C G
Been around and seen a lot to shake me anyhow
G
Begged and borrowed sometimes I admit I even stole
F C G
But the worst crime that I ever did was playing rock'n'roll
D F G
But the money's no good, just get a grip on yourself
D F G
But the money's no good, just get a grip on yourself
G
Suffering convictions on a two way stretch inside
F C G
The air in here in pretty thin, I think I'll go outside
G
Committed for insanity and crimes against the soul
F C G
The worst crime that I ever did was play some rock'n'roll
D F G
But the money's no good, just get a grip on yourself
D F G
But the money's no good, just get a grip on yourself
And you should know!
(during this bit, the guitar and bass stay on D while
the keyboard plays the chords)
D A/D C/D F/D G/D
Ooh... ooh... ooh... ooh... ooh... (x3)
D A/D C/D F/D G
Ooh... ooh... ooh... ooh... ooh...
keyboard solo:
D A C F G (x4)
D A C F G
Ooh... ooh... ooh... ooh... ooh... (x2)
G
Now I find from week to week the sentence sticking fast
F C G
Turn the corner, rub my eyes, and hope the world will last
G
Stranger from another planet, welcome to our hole
F C G
Just strap on your guitar and we'll play some rock and roll
D F G
But the money's no good, just get a grip on yourself
D F G
But the money's no good, just get a grip on yourself
And you should know!
(during this bit, the guitar and bass stay on D while
the keyboard plays the chords)
D A/D C/D F/D G/D
Ooh... ooh... ooh... ooh... ooh... (x3)
D A/D C/D F/D G
Ooh... ooh... ooh... ooh... ooh...
keyboard solo:
D A C F G (over oohs, x3) D A C F F/G
end on F/G.
