🎸 Verse:
E               B
The odds have built up of the chance you're going down,
       C              B
'cause you're looking pretty guilty in the court of the crown,
    E              B
And my friend's getting eager to complete this mission,
   C            B
It's better all round just to sign the confession.
    E              B
Doesn't matter if you're innocent or guilty as hell,
  C                 B
My friend's got a feeling that you're feeling unwell,
  E             B
Who cares about the truth, the truth's there to bend,
C          B
Do as I say I'm your only friend.

🎸 Verse:
  E                  B
The wicked step father that took a step farther,
      C          B
Played the patron saint in his shining armour,
     E         B
With his sword of power and shield to protect you,
C          B
Tongue hanging out, going to get you.
  E            B
You know I want to hug you, know I want to kiss you,
     C          B
It's your dear old pop and you know I really miss you,
    E         B
In the pantomime of life, he's behind you,
C             B
Says no I'm just here to remind you.

🎸 Verse:
      E            B
Was it the father or the son or the holy ghost,
  C              B
The butler in the kitchen or the game-show host,
  E               B
The policeman on the corner who'll show you the way,
  C              B
The geezer with a beard comes on Xmas day.
       E               B
Could be your mother or your father or your sister or your brother,
    C                 B
Doesn't matter who it is they'll say there ain't no other,
E             B
Might never see 'em or you meet them every day,
  C             B
But who gives a damn when you hear them say.

And call me what you like
