Intro: D C9 D x4

D                             C9            D
Once there was a crooked man, living in the shadows
D                                     C9        D
Made a living pilfering, anything the wind blew in
D                              C9              D
Now he's turning on the charm, working for the counting house
D                          C9             D
Now he is an honest thief, winning smile, perfect teeth


Chorus:
D                                                    C9      D 
Criminals in pinstripe suits, pecking the flesh from our backbones
D                                                 C9    D
Criminals in pinstripe suits, that's the way your money goes
D                                                    C9      D
Criminals in pinstripe suits, pecking the flesh from our backbones
D                                                 C9    D 
Criminals in pinstripe suits, that's the way your money goes


D C9 D x4

D                             C9                 D
Once there was a crooked man, spouting all about one for all
D                            C9                   D
Watching all our wages fall, holding tight to his bonus ball
D                              C9               D
Now he's turning on the charm, in the bank that we restored
D                            C9                    D
Now he sits on his fat arse, selling the dreams we can't afford


Chorus:
D                                                    C9      D 
Criminals in pinstripe suits, pecking the flesh from our backbones
D                                                 C9    D
Criminals in pinstripe suits, that's the way your money goes
D                                                    C9      D
Criminals in pinstripe suits, pecking the flesh from our backbones
D                                                 C9    D 
Criminals in pinstripe suits, that's the way your money goes
