De Do Do Do De Da Da Da
The Police
Zenyatta Mondata 1980
This song is about the way 'upper class' people
use words to confuse and manipulate people.
The chords are easier than they look.

[Verse]
A F#m C#m
Don't think me unkind
A F#m C#m
Words are hard to find
A F#m C#m
They're only cheques I've left unsigned
A F#m C#m
From the banks of chaos in my mind
D E
And when their eloquence escapes me
D E D
Their logic ties me up and rapes me
[Chorus]
Aadd9 E7sus4/A
De do do do de da da da
Eadd9 D
Is all I want to say to you
Aadd9 E7sus4/A
De do do do de da da da
Eadd9 D
Their innocence will pull me through
Aadd9 E7sus4/A
De do do do de da da da
Eadd9 D
Is all I want to say to you
Aadd9 E7sus4/A
De do do do de da da da
Eadd9 D
They're meaningless and all that's true
Poets, priests and politicians
Have words to thank for their positions
Words that scream for your submission
And no-one's jamming their transmission
'Cos when their eloquence escapes you
Their logic ties you up and rapes you
[Chorus]
Aadd9 E7sus4/A
De do do do de da da da
Eadd9 D
Is all I want to say to you
Aadd9 E7sus4/A
De do do do de da da da
Eadd9 D
Their innocence will pull me through
Aadd9 E7sus4/A
De do do do de da da da
Eadd9 D
Is all I want to say to you
Aadd9 E7sus4/A
De do do do de da da da
Eadd9 D
They're meaningless and all that's true

Their innocence will pull me through

De do do do de da da da
Eadd9 D
Is all I want to say to you
Aadd9 E7sus4/A
De do do do de da da da
Eadd9 D
They're meaningless and all that's true
