Intro: G/B F/C C/G
F G C
G/B F/C C/G
Running like a band of angry schoolboys
F G C
Up and down the well lit streets today
Dm G Am F6
Bashing in the heads of tax collectors
C G Fmaj7
And anybody else who's in our way
C G F
C G F
G/B F/C C
Bathing in the sunlight that's our birthright
F G C/G
Waiting for someone to set the scene
Dm G Am F6
Last time he came to town, a few stray coins came raining down
C G F G
We scrambled in the dirt for them like ants around the queen
Am7 G6
We take aim at the dawning day
Fmaj7(13)
And we shoot
C G/D
Starving to death, starving to death
C G/D Fmaj7/C
For the low hanging fruit
C G/D F(add9)/C
C G/D F/C
C G/D F/C
Then all at once here comes the motorcade
Slow and steady down the beaten track
As we're bashing out the windows of the limo
We notice there's nobody in the back
And a helicopter lands atop the palace
The Royal Guard assembles at the gate
The country's gonna burn and we'll still have to wait our turn
Last among contenders of the super featherweights
We take aim at the dawning day
And we shoot
Starving to death, starving to death
For the low hanging fruit
