[Bb] He's never quiet out of sight, he's a shadow in the night
Is that a [Gm] document for you to [Ab] sign
[Bb] In the coat of the lurking barrister

[Bb] Stationed by the broken neon signs, he might give you a valentine
I see [Gm] somebody so [Ab] demised
[Bb] In the eyes of the lurking barrister
[Bb] In the hands of the lurking barrister

[D#] He's not there to [F] get you out of [Bb] jail
No no [C] no
[D#] There's never been a [F] case he couldn't [Bb] fail
Yeah yeah [C] yeah
[C] The lurking barrister takes our irregular [F] feature in the daily [C] mail

[Bb] And if you stumbling round in Temple Bar, you don't remember where you parked your car
It's for [Gm] sure that he won't be [Ab] far
[Bb] You're in the hand that's the lurking barrister

[Bb] There's not a hotel he can't find, he knows the alley exit just behind
Is that a [Gm] knife or [Ab] 45
[Bb] In the coat of lurking barrister
[Bb] In the hand of the lurking barrister

[D#] He's not there to [F] get you out of [Bb] jail
No no [C] no
[D#] There's never been a [F] case he couldn't [Bb] fail
Yeah yeah [C] yeah
[C] The lurking barrister takes our irregular [F] feature in the daily [C] mail

[C] Read the lurking barrister tales
[C] Read the lurking barrister tales

[Bb] He's never quiet out of sight, he's a shadow in the night
Is that a [Gm] document for you to [Ab]sign
[Bb] In the hands of the lurking barrister

Is that a [Gm] catapult or something more [Ab] benign
[Bb] In the coat of lurking barrister
[Bb] In the coat of lurking barrister
[Bb] In the hands of the lurking barrister
[Bb] You're in the hands of the lurking barrister
