VERSE: (guitar plays main riff)
Its a very small world in the middle of a crowd
The room gets dark when the music gets loud
Treble cuts thru when the rhythm takes the bite
But theres no room to move cause the floor is packed tight

D                   E               F              F
A voice shouts loud we ll never surrender
A voice in the crowd never surrender
A hand in the crowds flying propaganda
never surrender, we ll never surrender

VERSE:  
The skins in the corner are staring at the bar
The rude boys are dancing to some heavy heavy ska
Its getting so hot people dripping with sweat
The punks in the corner are speeding like a jet

CHORUS:
E E  G                              E E   G
    Staring at the rude boys    staring at the rude boys
E F E F E F E F E F E F E F E F E F E F E F E F E F E F E F E F
    Dancing with the rude boys        dancing with the rude boys
E E  G                              E E   G                  C (with bass run)  
    Staring at the rude boys    staring at the rude boys



VERSE:  BASS PLAYS RIFF 
A bunch of peers march in on the d.m.s
With some standing there saluting the air
They wanna be pirates but the sea is not calm
Tattooed crossbones on their arms

PRE-CHORUS:  BASS PLAYS RIFF 
D                   E                F             F
A voice shouts loud we ll never surrender
A voice in the crowd never surrender
A hand in the crowds flying propaganda
never surrender, we ll never surrender

SOLO:    D   G   x4

VERSE:  BASS PLAYS RIFF
The lights come alive in a blinding flash
Dance hall clears as the mutants clash
D
Everyone leaves when the heavys arrive
Someone hits the floor someone takes a dive

CHORUS:
E E G                              E E  G
    Staring at the rude boys    staring at the rude boys
E F E F E F E F E F E F E F E F E F E F E F E F E F E F E F E F
    Dancing with the rude boys        dancing with the rude boys
E E  G                              E E   G                  C with bass run  
    Staring at the rude boys    staring at the rude boys



E E G                              E E  G
    Staring at the rude boys    staring at the rude boys
E F E F E F E F E F E F E F E F E F E F E F E F E F E F E F E F
    Dancing with the rude boys        dancing with the rude boys
E E  G                              E E   G                    C with bass run
