Jam (The)-That's Entertainment - BPM - 107

[Intro - Capo 3 but don't for live]
G  Em  G  Em  Am  F  G  Em
 
[Verse] 
G                  Em
A police car and a screaming siren,
G                   Em
Pneumatic drill and ripped up concrete,
G               Em
A baby wailing, stray dog howling,
G                           Em
The screech of brakes and a lamp light blinking,
 
[Chorus] 
Am          F
That's entertainment,
Am          F
That's entertainment,
 
[Instrumental] 
G Em G Em
 
[Verse] 
G                      Em
A smash of glass and a rumble of boots,
G                       Em
An electric train and a ripped up phone booth,
G                              Em
Paint splattered walls and the cry of a tomcat,
G                      Em
Lights going out and a kick in the balls,
I say
 
[Chorus] 
Am          F
That's entertainment,
Am          F          G
That's entertainment - Ahh!
Em    G        Em
La la la la la la...
 
[Verse] 
G                 Em
Days of speed and slow time Mondays,
G                           Em
Pissing down with rain on a boring Wednesday,
G                      Em
Watching the news, not eating your tea,
G                        Em
A freezing cold flat and damp on the walls,
I say
 
[Chorus] 
Am          F
That's entertainment,
Am          F          G
That's entertainment - Ahh!
Em    G        Em
La la la la la la...
 
[Verse] 
G                     Em
Waking up at 6am on a cool warm morning,
G                       Em
Opening the windows and breathing in petrol,
G                               Em
An amateur band rehearsing in a nearby yard,
G                      Em
Watching the telly and thinking 'bout your holidays,
  
[Chorus]
Am          F
That's entertainment,
Am          F          G
That's entertainment - Ahh!
Em    G        Em
La la la la la la...
 
[Verse]
G                              Em
Waking up from a bad dream and smoking cigarrettes,
G                        Em
Cuddling a warm girl and smelling stale perfume,
G                      Em
A hot summer's day and sticky black tarmac,
G                             Em
Feeding ducks in the park and wishing you were far away,

[Chorus] 
Am          F
That's entertainment,
Am          F          G
That's entertainment - Ahh!
Em    G        Em
La la la la la la...
  
[Verse] 
G                              Em
Two lovers kissing amongst the scream of midnight, 
G                      Em
Two lovers missing the tranquillity of solitude,
G                 Em
Getting a cab and travelling on buses,
G                      Em
Reading graffiti 'bout slashed seat affairs,
I say
  
[Chorus] 
Am          F
That's entertainment,
Am          F          G
That's entertainment - Ahh!
Em    G        Em
La la la la la la...
 
Am          F
That's entertainment,
Am          F          G
That's entertainment - Ahh!
