Joyriders, by Pulp

I couldn't get the original one I did, that e-mail account got wiped.
So here they are once again

Lyrics from Anthony Bailey's Pulp Pages:
http://www.cs.man.ac.uk/~baileya/Pulp/L-joyriders.html

\chord{C}{} We like driving on a\chord{G}{}Saturday\chord{Am}{}night

\chord{C}{} past the Leisure Centre, \chord{G}{l}eft at the li\chord{B}{g}hts

Oh we don't look for tr\chord{C}{o}uble, but if it co\chord{F}{m}es we don't r\chord{Em}{u}n

Looking out for tr\chord{C}{o}uble is what w\chord{F}{e} call f\chord{Em}{u}n

\chord{B}{\space{20}}\space{20}
Hey y\chord{B}{o}u, you in the Jesus sandals

\chord{C}{w}ouldn't you l\chord{G}{i}ke to c\chord{B}{o}me

over and watch some vandals

\chord{C}{s}mashing up som\chord{G}{e}one's ho\chord{B}{m}e?

[VERSE 2] (same  chords as 1)

We can't help it we're so thick we can't think
can't think of anything but shit, sleep and drink
Oh and we like women; "Up the women!" we say
and if we get lucky yeah we might even meet some one day


\chord{C}{M}ister, we just want your c\chord{Em}{a}r

`cos we're t\chord{C}{a}king a girl to the re\chord{Em}{s}ervoir

\chord{F}{O}h all the pap\chord{F#}{e}rs say it's a tr\chord{B}{a}gedy
but don't you want to come and see?

\chord{C}{\space{20}}\space{20}\chord{G}{\space{20}}\space{20}\chord{Am}{\space{20}}\space{20}
\chord{C}{\space{20}}\space{20}\chord{G}{\space{20}}\space{20}\chord{B}{\space{20}}\space{20}
\chord{C}{\space{20}}\space{20}\chord{F}{\space{20}}\space{20}\chord{Em}{\space{20}}\space{20}
\chord{C}{\space{20}}\space{20}\chord{F}{\space{20}}\space{20}\chord{Em}{\space{20}}\space{20}
\chord{B}{\space{20}}\space{20}\chord{C}{\space{20}}\space{20}\chord{G}{\space{20}}\space{20}
\chord{B}{\space{20}}\space{20}\chord{C}{\space{20}}\space{20}\chord{G}{\space{20}}\space{20}
\chord{B}{\space{20}}\space{20}

Mister we just want your car
`cos we're taking a girl to the reservoir
Oh all the papers say it's a tragedy
Mister...

[end]
it's a tr\chord{B}{a}gedy.

Have fun!
