Standard Tuning
[Verse 1]
G D
Domestic abuse in a bottle,
Em C
Chemicals staining my brain
G D
Beans on my plate before breakfast and a
Em D C
Tiny blue wakeup call up in my face
Am C
Switching the side of the road
Am C D
I’ve lost my wits but I’m still hanging on
[Chorus 1]
G Bm
Rise and shine boys we got work to do
Em D C
Kilos to cover but we don’t have a clue how
G Bm
To get to the quayside, have you got the back line?
Em D C
Oh no - I guess that’ll do
Am C D G
Stoke up the fires tonight, we’re stinging the beehive
Am Bm C
[Verse 2]
G D
Gut string guitar through a bass amp,
Em C
Children’s kick drum on the floor
G D
Second-hand Strat through a seven watt amp
Em D C
And the crowd won’t be yelling for more
Am C
When you’re grinding your teeth down to stumps,
Am C D
Feeling the sting of the blood on your gums
[Chorus 2]
G Bm
Rise and shine boys we got work to do
Em D C
Kilos to cover but we don’t have a clue how
G Bm
To get to the quayside, have you got the back line?
Em D C
Oh no - I guess that’ll do
Am C D G
Stoke up the fires tonight, we’re stinging the beehive
Am Bm C D C
G Am Bm C D
[Verse 3]
Am C
Close your eyes tight and you can’t feel the plight
Em D
That’s creeping up the leg of your trousers
Am C
Smoke from the room at the top of the stairs
Em D
But the firemen won’t be responding
[Chorus 3]
G Bm
Rise and shine boys we got work to do
Em D C
Kilos to cover but we don’t have a clue how
G Bm
To get to the quayside, have you got the back line?
Em D C
Oh no - I guess that’ll do
G Bm Em D C
Up and at ‘em, load up the truck, but that damn one way system is holding us up
Am C
Stoke up the fires tonight
Am C
Get all the pins on your gigging vest right
Am C D G
Break out the chemicals; turn out the lights at the beehive
[Outro]
