Dont Try This At Home

A D A D

[Verse 1]
       A
It's a long walk to the gallows
       D
It's a small step to swing free
A
The crying in the tower
          D
For my conspirators and me
A
Gunpowder and modem
      D
And a dream of liberty
                 E
And then they'll tell you
                  D
Don't try this at home
                E
Oh yes, they'll tell you
                  D
Don't try this at home

[Verse 2]
       A
If you walk on the beach with King 
Canute
          D
You'll be walking back alone
  A
Tonight he'll dine on oysters
         D
While we fall like green acorns
         A
We'll be putting down our roots

             D
Right in the centre of the storm
                E
Oh, but they'll tell you
                  D
Don't try this at home
                E
Oh yes, they'll tell you
                  D
Don't try this at home

[Bridge]
           Bm                F#m
The cry of gulls, the hum of streets
            Bm                   
The buzz of phones, the march of 
F#m
feet
             Bm               F#m
We'll meet tonight to draw up plans
     Bm            F#m     Bm F#m
Exclamations, ampersands

[Verse 3]
A
Somewhere across the water
        D
They're storming palace gates
A
Scared of the moth-flame metaphor
   D
We fall asleep and wait
A
Singing for a future
        D
But the chorus comes too late
                E
Because they'll tell you
                  D
Don't try this at home
                E
Oh yes, they'll tell you
                  D
Don't try this at home

[Outro voice 1]
A                             
Don't, don't, don't, don't,     
  D
don't, don't, don't, dont (repeats 
to end)

[Outro voice 2 starts after two 
repititions of voice 1]
A                               D

 (repeats to end)

[Outro voice 3 starts after two

          Try this at home (repeats

[Outro voice 4 is spoken and starts 
after two repititions of voice 3]
A                               D
                                    
              So we're coming to the
A                               D
last dance                          
              I've got another
A                               D
request                             
              With your best foot
A                               D
forward                             
              We'll lay this ghost 
to
A                               D
rest (repeats to end)
