Verse 1:

A5

statue stares, traffic stopped

D5

a victim's asking for the road to knock

A5

there's a crowd of boys at Sugar's store

D5

like yesterday, and the day before

A5

at the pass-machine beside the bank

D5

it says 'minks are kinky,' draw some tank

A5

but don't look around when you hear your name

D5

cos they call it and they look away

A5

and the shades are steamed and driving slowly

D5

wondering which way to go

A5

while the slash-hook merchants stand and wait

D5

to pay respects at the graveyard gates

E5 D5

here, buy a line, support the Stars

Chorus:

A5

can you tell me who the villains are?---| |

D5 |X3|

(whispered)tell me who the villains are_| |

E5 E5

can anyone tell me who the villains are?

Verse 2:

A5

high times are up for grabs

D5

plastic pouches, grams and tabs

A5

come up the flat man, skin one up

D5

world class, tóm enough

A5

well byes, story? truth

D5

the bittersweet of mis-spent youth

A5

will one day fade away

D5

blacks and whites all turn to greys

A5

justice waits up the dublin road

D5

between the alley and the old-folks home

A5

in innocence personified

D5

the guilty all wear suits and ties

E5

and some are driving fancy cars

chorus:

(as before)

Verse 3:

A5

mé-féiners at the door

D5

politics, you know the score

A5

mawlya-mungers shake my hand

tacet D5(one beat)

saying "Sorry for your troubles, sham,"

A5(softly)

and plámás stalks the last few pound

D5

leave it with me now, that's sound

A5

liars compare their lies

D5

frauds play broads with sly-head eyes

A5

there's liars, fairy-tales and lies

D5

everyone's been telling lies

A5

the band up playing on the stage

D5

teenage songs in middle-age

E5 E5

while the young lads burn their bass guitars

E5 E5

and the big-boys lick their credit cards

E5 E5

it's the grace of god that they got this far

Chorus

Can anyone tell me who the villains

A5 till fade.

Well there it is, shams. There's a couple of little

fills and the solo that I didn't work out but I reckon

this is ok.
