Policemen & Pirates Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][C][G][D][C]
[G]The house

[Verse 1]
caught
on fire in the winter
The bosses lay slain
And each of [C]the work[G]ers decided
to ten-fold their their pay
And they saw in the mirror the sun
had been shot down [C]in flames
And nobody minded the hole
in the sky or the rain
[G]

[Verse 2]
But it doesn't really mat[D]ter [C]when
the judgments [G]are said
'cause we all take our [D]chances to find
out [C]romance is in some others [G]bed
And you might burn your [D]fingers [C]hock
your best rings [G]for those
Who'd have you standing na[D]ked then
publicly auc[C]tion the use of [G]a hose

[Verse 3]
[G][D]
All the chil[G]dren were laughing
their faces in half at [C]the pain
Of the girl who [G]loved talking to
walls and jumping at trains
And the words that ring true in the
playground of fools will remain
[C]And nobody minded the
hole in the sky or the rain
[G]

[Verse 4]
But it doesn't really mat[D]ter [C]when
the rights [G]have been read
'Cause we all take our [D]chances to glance
at the [C]wife in the opposite [G]bed
And I bet Nero and Pi[D]late
[C]could easily expla[G]in
How policemen and [D]pirates get stoned
in glass [C]houses just finding their [G]way

[Verse 5]
[Ab]The [Eb]house[D][C][Ab][Eb][G][D][C]
[G]
caught on fire in the winter
The bosses lay slain
And each of the workers decided
to ten-fold their their pay
And they saw in the mirror the sun
[F]had been shot down in [C]flames
And nobody minded the hole
in the sky or [G]the rain

[Verse 6]
[G]
But it doesn't really mat[D]ter [C]when
the judgments are [G]said
'cause we all take our [D]chances to find
out ro[C]mance is in some others [G]bed
And you might burn your [D]fingers [C]hock
your best rings [G]for those
Who'd have you standing na[D]ked then
publicly auc[C]tion the use of a hose
[G]

[Verse 7]
And it doesn't really mat[D]ter [C]when
the rights have been [G]read
'Cause we all take our [D]chances to glance
at the [C]wife in the opposite [G]bed
And I bet Nero and Pil[D]ate
[C]could easily ex[G]plain
How policemen [D]and pirates get stoned
in glass [C]houses just finding their [G]way
Yeah policemen and [D]pirates get stoned in
glass [C]houses just finding [G]their way
Yeah policemen and [D]pirates get stoned
in glass [C]houses just finding their [G]way
