Capital Cities - Kangaroo Court
Capo 1st 

Intro   Em    |Bm   |Am    |D     ||x3

Verse 1
           Em
There's a dark part of town where the girls get down
         Bm                       Am
And I cannot wait for a chance to go
                     D
Wait for a chance to go

            Em    
I've got my bad luck shoes and every excuse
    Bm                                 Am
To dance these blues away ain't coming home
                D
I ain't coming home

Chorus
 Em                        Bm
Shut up, shut up, shut up, sit up, sit up, sit up
                 Am                D
It's a kangaroo court, a kangaroo court
 Em                        Bm
Shut up, shut up, shut up, sit up, sit up, sit up
                 Am                D
It's a kangaroo court, a kangaroo court

Verse 2
      Em
In a dusty room I come to assume
     Bm                                 Am
That I've been doomed to lose my mind tonight
             D
Too weak to fight
      Em
So I try to save face and I rest my case
     Bm                                   Am
The judge pulls me aside, says, "C'est la vie"
                                  D   
Let your darker side come out to feed

Chorus
 Em                        Bm
Shut up, shut up, shut up, sit up, sit up, sit up
                 Am                D
It's a kangaroo court, a kangaroo court
 Em                        Bm
Shut up, shut up, shut up, sit up, sit up, sit up
                 Am                D
It's a kangaroo court, a kangaroo court

Horn solo  Em   |Bm   |Am   |D    ||x2 (all right, I can't do sexy)
           C    |     |G    |D    ||x3


Verse 3
     Em          
I commit the crime of wasting time
Bm                                 Am
Always trying to rhyme, yes, I am guilty
                    D
But don't misunderstand me
     Em     
I admit defeat then I move my feet
    Bm                     Am
My history will never be repeated
                   D
I won't ever be repeated

Chorus
 Em                        Bm
Shut up, shut up, shut up, sit up, sit up, sit up
                 Am                D
It's a kangaroo court, a kangaroo court
 Em                        Bm
Shut up, shut up, shut up, sit up, sit up, sit up
                 Am                D
It's a kangaroo court, a kangaroo court
 Em                        Bm
Shut up, shut up, shut up, sit up, sit up, sit up
                 Am                D
It's a kangaroo court, a kangaroo court
 Em                        Bm
Shut up, shut up, shut up, sit up, sit up, sit up
                 Am                D
It's a kangaroo court, a kangaroo court
