Great tune.  B-side to their first single.  Unsure of the chords in the solo.

INTRO:    C (x32010@1)  D (xx0232@1) E (022100@1)  E (022100@1) (x lots)

C (x32010@1)  D (xx0232@1) E (022100@1)     
            I just can't take much more of this oppression
            I'm going out of my head and it's war not oppression
            I'm gonna go out for awalk (x02210@1)            I'm gonna sit down and have talk
CHORUS:
Gthey're (320003@1)asking me how and they're asking me why
Ahave (x02220@1)you ever seen grown men cry
Gpolice (320003@1)police police oppression, 
Apolice (x02220@1)police police oppression

VERSE:
really find it hard even walking round the streets
hey I know you son I'll knock you off your feet

CHORUS:
same number a million times before,
shut your mouth son or I'll knock you on the floor
police police police oppression, police police police oppression

BREAK:  guitar solo (chords to be worked out)

VERSE:
I just can't take much more of this oppression
I'm going out of my head and it's war not oppression
I'm gonna go out for a war I'm gonna sit down and have talk

REPEAT CHORUS 1:

REPEAT INTRO:

VERSE:
lying in the cells is really no fun
cut the bricks learn some tricks
ask me no questions and I'll tell you no lies
ain't doing nothing really a crime

CHORUS:
police police police oppression
police police police oppression
police police police police police
