The Jam

[D] Some people might [Bm] say my life is in a [D] rut.

I'm quite [Bm] happy with what I [D] got.

People might [Bm] say that I should strive for [D] more,

But I'm so [Bm] happy I can't see the [B] point.

Some-thing's happening [D#m7] here today

A [B] show of strength with your [D#m7] boy's brigade

And [B] I'm so happy and [D#m7] you're so kind,

You [B] want more money, of [D#m7] course I don't mind

To buy [E] nuclear textbooks for [F#] atomic crimes

And the [B] public gets what the [D#m7] public wants

But [E] I want nothing this [F#] society's got

I'm going [B] underground (going [Bmaj7] underground)

Well let the [E] brass bands play and feet [F#] start to pound

Going [B] underground (going [Bmaj7] underground)

Let the [E] boys all sing and let the [F#] boys all shout

For to-[B]-morrow [Bmaj7] [E] [F#]

[D] Some people might [Bm] get some pleasure out of [D] hate,

Me I've e-[Bm]-nough already on my [D] plate.

People might [Bm] need some tension to re-[D]-lax,

Me I'm too [Bm] busy dodging through the [B] Flak.

What you see is [D#m7] what you get,

You've [B] made your bed you'd better [D#m7] lie in it

You [B] choose your leaders and [D#m7] place your trust

As their [B] lies wash you down and their [D#m7] promises rust,

You'll see [E] kidney machines replaced by [F#] rockets and guns

And the [B] public wants what the [D#m7] public gets,

But [E] I don't get what this [F#] society wants

I'm going [B] underground (going [Bmaj7] underground)

Well let the [E] brass bands play and feet [F#] start to pound

Going [B] underground (going [Bmaj7] underground)

Let the [E] boys all sing and let the [F#] boys all shout

For to-[C#m]-morrow [B] la la la la [C#m] la la la la

We [C#m] talk and we talk until my [B] head ex-plodes

I [C#m] turn on the news and my [B] body froze

The [D#m] braying sheep on my [E] T.V. screen

Make [F#] this boy shout make this boy scream

Going [C#] underground [C#maj7] [F#] [G#]

I'm going [C#] un-derground [E#m7] [F#] [G#]

I'm going [Badd9] un-derground [D#m] [E] [F#]

I'm going [B] un-derground [D#m] [E] [F#]

[C] (Hey!) [B] La la la la la [C] (Hey!) [B] La la la la la

[C] (Hey!) [B] La la la la la[C] (Hey!) [B] La la la la la

These [D#m] braying sheep on my [E] T.V. screen

Make [F#] this boy shout, make this boy scream

Going [C#] underground (going [C#maj7] underground)

Well let the [F#] brass bands play and feet [G#] start to pound

Going [C#] underground (going [Cmaj7] underground)

Let the [F#] boys all sing and let the [G#] boys all shout

for to-[F#6]-mor-row
