A/A/A/A5 x 2 

A5                              
Kids are playing gangster wars 

     C#5                           
They don't believe in Santa Claus 

    D5                                
The baseball bats are soft of course 

    E5                          
The blood is just tomato sauce 

   A5                             
As icebergs go it's just the tip 

    C#5                          
The start of the apprenticeship 

  D5                                 
A short sharp Glasgow kiss me quick 

E5                            
Karate chop and Kung Fu kick 


    A5                              
And in the wings the grannies wait 

C#5                              
doing things that grannies hate 

D5                     
Queuing to accumulate 

  E5                               
A pittance from the welfare state 

     A5                         
Then back home on a forty four 

C#5                              
Put the chain on, lock the door 

D5                           
Cross another five bar gate 

E5            
Sit and wait 


       
CHORUS 

A5              F#5  
Don't open the door 

              B5         
Don't talk to strangers 

               G5      
You've not met before 

              A5     
Your guardian angel 

                F#5 
Will watch over you 

                 B5     
If your guardian angel 

                   G5  
Has got nothing to do 


   A5                                
In space no one can hear you scream 

        C#5                        
Because no one's really listening 

      D5                              
Saint Peter's got his gates to clean 

    E5              F#5     E5        
And God's too busy saving queens 

   A5                           
To ever get down off the fence 

    C#5                              
And give the meek their inheritance 

D5                         
So it's only common sense 

   E5                      F#E5             
To get yourself some self defence 


         
(CHORUS) Same chords as first chorus except last chord is E

B5 C#5 Eb5   F#5 F#/F#5 x 2

(CHORUS)

B5              Ab5  
Don't open the door 

              C#5         
Don't talk to strangers 

               A5      
You've not met before 

              B5     
Your guardian angel 

                Ab5 
Will watch over you 

                 C#5    
If your guardian angel 

                   F#5  
Has got nothing to do 


    C#5                             
And so we leave this nusery rhyme 

     F5                         
This grizzly gruesome pantomime 

         F#5                         
From the cradle to a life of crime 

               
And back again 

    Eb5  Bb5   Eb5       
And now it's time 

   C#5  Eb5  F#5     Eb5 Eb/Eb5 
To say goodbye
