Verse 1:
A5
statue stares, traffic stopped
  D5
a victim's asking for the road to knock
          A5
there's a crowd of boys at Sugar's store
     D5
like yesterday, and the day before
       A5 
at the pass-machine beside the bank
         D5
it says 'minks are kinky,' draw some tank
          A5
but don't look around when you hear your name
         D5
cos they call it and they look away
        A5
and the shades are steamed and driving slowly
D5
wondering which way to go
          A5
while the slash-hook merchants stand and wait
   D5  
to pay respects at the graveyard gates
      E5                            D5
here, buy a line, support the Stars

Chorus:
        A5
can you tell me who the villains are?---|  |
           D5                           |X3|
(whispered)tell me who the villains are_|  |
    E5     E5         
can anyone tell me who the villains are?

Verse 2:
A5
high times are up for grabs
D5
plastic pouches, grams and tabs
     A5
come up the flat man, skin one up
D5
world class, t?m enough
A5
well byes, story? truth
    D5
the bittersweet of mis-spent youth
     A5
will one day fade away
D5
blacks and whites all turn to greys
A5
justice waits up the dublin road
D5
between the alley and the old-folks home
   A5
in innocence personified
    D5
the guilty all wear suits and ties
    E5
and some are driving fancy cars

chorus:
(as before)

Verse 3:
A5
m?-f?iners at the door 
D5
politics, you know the score
A5
mawlya-mungers shake my hand 
        tacet                    D5(one beat) 
saying "Sorry for your troubles, sham,"
    A5(softly)
and pl?m?s stalks the last few pound
D5
leave it with me now, that's sound
A5
liars compare their lies
D5
frauds play broads with sly-head eyes
        A5
there's liars, fairy-tales and lies
D5
everyone's been telling lies
    A5
the band up playing on the stage
D5
teenage songs in middle-age
          E5                                E5
while the young lads burn their bass guitars
        E5                              E5
and the big-boys lick their credit cards
         E5                                  E5    
it's the grace of god that they got this far

Chorus

Can anyone tell me who the villains
    D5     D5
Can anyone tell me who the villains
    E5     E5                          
Can anyone tell me who the villains

A5 till fade.

Well there it is, shams.  There's a couple of little
fills and the solo that I didn't work out but I reckon
this is ok.
