De Do Do Do De Da Da Da
The Police
Zenyatta Mondata 1980


This song is about the way 'upper class' people
use words to confuse and manipulate people.
The chords are easier than they look.

A          F#m    C#m
Don't think me unkind
A         F#m      C#m
Words are hard to find
A             F#m                C#m
They're only cheques I've left unsigned
A                  F#m         C#m
From the banks of chaos in my mind
D                          E
And when their eloquence escapes me
D                          E        D
Their logic ties me up and rapes me


  Aadd9        E7sus4/A
De do do do de da da da
   Eadd9                    D
Is all I want to say to you
  Aadd9        E7sus4/A
De do do do de da da da
      Eadd9                          D
Their innocence will pull me through
  Aadd9        E7sus4/A
De do do do de da da da
   Eadd9                    D
Is all I want to say to you
  Aadd9        E7sus4/A
De do do do de da da da
        Eadd9                           D
They're meaningless and all that's true



Poets, priests and politicians
Have words to thank for their positions
Words that scream for your submission
And no-one's jamming their transmission
'Cos when their eloquence escapes you
Their logic ties you up and rapes you



De do do do de da da da
Is all I want to say to you
De do do do de da da da
Their innocence will pull me through
De do do do de da da da
Is all I want to say to you
De do do do de da da da
They're meaningless and all that's true

De do do do de da da da
Is all I want to say to you
De do do do de da da da
Their innocence will pull me through
De do do do de da da da
Is all I want to say to you
De do do do de da da da
They're meaningless and all that's true
