THAT'S ENTERTAINMENT

 

The Jam

 

Capo on 3

 

[G][Em][G][Em]

 

[G] A police car and a [Em] screaming siren

[G] Pneumatic drill and [Em] ripped up concrete

[G] A baby wailing, [Em] stray dog howling

[G] The screech of brakes and [Em] lamp light blinking

[Am] That's enter-[F]-tainment,

[Am] That's enter-[F]-tainment [G][Em][G][Em]

 

[G] The smash of glass and the [Em] rumble of boots

[G] An electric train and a [Em] ripped up phone booth

[G] Paint splatters walls and the [Em] cry of a tomcat

[G] Lights going out and a [Em] kick in the balls

I say [Am] that's enter-[F]-tainment,

[Am] That's enter-[F]-tainment, [G] Ah [Em][G] la, la, [Em] la

 

[G] Days of speed and [Em] slow time Mondays

[G] Pissing down with rain on a [Em] boring Wednesday

[G] Watching the news and not [Em] eating your tea

[G] A freezing cold flat, and [Em] damp on the walls

I say [Am] That's enter-[F]-tainment,

[Am] That's enter-[F]-tainment [G][Em][G][Em]

 

[G] Waking up at 6am on a [Em] cool warm morning

[G] Opening the windows and [Em] breathing in petrol

[G] An amateur band rehearsing in a [Em] nearby yard

[G] Watching the telly and [Em] thinking about your holidays

[Am] That's enter-[F]-tainment,

[Am] That's enter-[F]-tainment [G]Ah [Em][G] la, la, [Em] la

 

[G] Waking up from bad dreams and [Em] smoking cigarettes

[G] Cuddling a warm girl and [Em] smelling stale perfume

[G] A hot summer's day and [Em] sticky black tarmac

[G] Feeding ducks in the park and [Em] wishing you were far away

[Am] That's enter-[F]-tainment,

[Am] That's enter-[F]-tainment [G][Em][G][Em]

 

[G] Two lovers kissing amongst the [Em] scream of midnight

[G] Two lovers missing the tran-[Em]-quility of solitude

[G] Getting a cab and [Em] travelling on buses

[G] Reading the grafitti about [Em] slashed seat affairs

I say [Am] That's enter-[F]-tainment,

[Am] That's enter-[F]-tainment [G]Ah [Em][G] la, la, [Em] la
