Verse 1:

A5            Ab5        A5
 Why must you record my phone calls?
                   Ab5        A5
Are you planning a bootleg L-P?

A5                Ab5            A5
 Said you've been threatened by gangsters;
         D5          C5           E5
Now it's you that's threatening me.

Verse 2:

A5               Ab5           A5
 Can't fight cor-ruption with con tricks,
                 Ab5        A5
They use the law to commit crime.
                      Ab5              A5
And I dread, dread to think, what the future will bring,
           C5         G5        E5
When we're living in gangster time.

(Spoken):

Don't call me scar face!

Verse 3:

A5           Ab5             A5
 Can't inter-rupt while I'm talking,
                      Ab5           A5
Or they'll confiscate all your gui-tars,
                      Ab5         A5
And catch 22 says, if I sing the truth;
           D5          C5         E5
They won't make me an overnight star.

Verse 4:

      A5       Ab5        A5
Don't offer us legal pro-tection,
                 Ab5        A5
They use the law to commit crime.
                      Ab5              A5
And I dread, dread to think, what the future will bring,
           C5         G5        E5
When we're living in gangster time.
