C                        D
sup up your beer and collect your fags
C                    D
there's a row goin on down near slough

Em                     F                       G
loaded your guns and you ran off home for your tea

and left me standing like a naughty schoolboy

thats about all you need to know, unless you wanna put the guitar noise in at the beging 
of my arrangement of the bass part.

i haven't put the piece in running order, figured i'd give you a challenge!

if you can try and play the different versions of the chords which i have indicated in 
right place to get the full affect of the song.
