          A        D             A 
THE PRISONER MEETS THE MUPPET HI-FI   
G                Bm 
NORTH OF WATFORD JUNCTION   
D                A 
WE GET IN BUT WE DON'T HAVE FUN   
G                       Bm    A 
AN' WE LEAVE BEFORE THE TRUNCHEONS 
G                     F#m 
SO IT'S BACK TO WATCH THE DAY TO DAY   
G             F#m 
SAGA OF WORKING PEOPLE   
G               F#m                  D 
HANGING OUT THE WASHING AND CLIPPING COUPONS 
        A   
AND GENERALLY BEING DECENT   


          A        D             A 
JOHNNY TOO BAD MEETS JOHNNY BE GOOD   
G                Bm 
IN THE CHARING CROSS ROAD   
D                A 
THAT'S THE ONLY THING THAT HAPPENED TODAY   
G                       Bm    A 
SAYS THE WEST END JUNGLE CODE   
G                     F#m 
AND ALL THE GERMANS AND ALL THE FRENCH   
G             F#m 
JAM THEMSELVES DOWN THE TUBE   
G               F#m                  D 
AND RE-ENACT THE SECOND WORLD WAR   
        A   
WHILE THE RUDE BOYS GET RUDE!   


A     D (n.c)        D 
AND I LOOK TO MY LEFT 
                      G  
AND I LOOK TO MY RIGHT 
D       A   
AND I'M LOOKING FOR A MAN   
    G 
I'M LOOKING FOR A SIGN   
  D             Bm   G         
I DON'T WANNA BE THE PRISONER   
  D             Bm   G        A 
I DON'T WANNA BE THE PRISONER   
   
      A        D             A    
THE PRISONER LIVES IN CAMDEN TOWN    
G                Bm 
SELLING REVOLUTION   
D                A 
THE PRISONER LOADS HIS TRACKING ARM UP    
G                       Bm    A 
WITH SELF-DISILLUSION   
    G                  F#m 
YOUR MOTHER DOES THE WASHING UP    
    G                  F#m 
YOUR OLD MAN DIGS THE GARDEN   
G               F#m                  D 
YOU'RE ONLY FREE TO DODGE THE COPS    
           A
AN' BUNK THE TRAIN TO STARDOM
