E                                riff 3	 
Sex and drugs and rock 'n' roll, 
E                                riff 4 
is all my brain and body need  
E                                riff 5 
Sex and drugs and rock 'n' roll,  
riff 6 
is very good indeed  
 
 
 
C#m             G#m      A                    B 
Keep your silly ways or throw them out the window 
C#m                G#m   A                     B 
The wisdom of your ways, I?ve been there and I know 
C#m           G#m   A                
Lots of other ways, what a jolly bad show 
   D                  B        A   G     E 
If all you ever do is business you don't like

C#m          G#m      A                 B 
Every bit of clothing ought to make you pretty 
C#m             G#m      A                B 
You can cut the clothing grey it's such a pity 
C#m               G#m         A             B 
I should wear the clothing of Mister Walter Mitty 
D                               B           A     G  E 
See my tailor he?s called Simon I know it's going to fit 
 
 
 
E 
Here's a little bit of advice, you're quite welcome it is free 
 
Don't do nothing that is cut-price you know what that'll make you be 
 
They will try their tricky device, trap you with the ordinary 
 
Get your teeth into a small slice of the cake of liberty
