Fight Dirty

      Gm
"Fight dirty, "
               Gm
That's what he said
      Gm                    
After 7 pints of beer and 30 
 Gm
cigarettes.
Cm
Cue ball corner pocket
Cm
Blue chalk on his chin
  Gm
A lonesome bullseye
In a sky of dents
      Eb7
Gotta throw them a curveball
  D7
A swing and a miss

[Verse 2]
     Gm
Play nicely
                 Gm
That's what they taught to me
     Gm                            
Said share-fairing good sports will
 Gm
 do the same
        Cm
But the more that I sweat, the more 
that I bleed
          Gm
While the hotshot on top loses count
 of his beans
   Eb7                  D7        
He highlit & backspaced my 
           Gm
father's factory

[Chorus]
          Cm                Gm
'Cause as far back as I can remember
                  D7               
The ballfield was never that level 
   Gm
or even
                Cm
The wind in the tides
                Gm
The sand in our eyes
               D7
So if we're to rise
               Eb7         D7
Gotta stand on each others backs
          Gm
And fight dirty.

[Verse 3]
        Gm
No more fooling around for me
     Gm                      Gm
With permits and escorts and picnics
 for peace
          Cm
There's a top to take back like a 
bus seat to keep
        Gm
Time to put down your dukes
Scratch, bite, kick and scream!
Eb7                             
I just wanna see the schoolyard 
D7
bullies cry and bleed.

[Verse 4]
      Gm
Fight dirty
      Gm
Hit below the waist
                Gm
That's how it's done to us
              Gm
Behind closed doors each day
Cm
Rules they don't follow,
Treaties they snap
       Gm
With a shake and a putt
And the raise of a glass
   Eb7
You fixed the game?
     D7                        
I'll cheat if I must to take it 
 Gm
back.
D7
Take it back!

[Verse 5]
     Gm
So I shrug, take a shot
   Gm
He says, "You disagree?"
        Gm
Well go on with the same old
    Gm
And beg of the thieves
          Cm
That your job will be saved
Your prisoners freed
            Gm
That they'll stop starving millions
And cure all the disease
     Ebm
See me, I'm the spanner,
    D7                         
And they've always got desks to 
       Gm
clean

[Chorus]
          Cm                Gm
'Cause as far back as I can remember
                  D7               
The ballfield was never that level 
   Gm
or even

So if we're to rise
               Eb7         D7
Gotta stand on each others backs
D               Eb7          D7
Gotta beat them at their own game
D                        Eb7     
Throw the tear gas right back in 
      D7
their face
          Gm      Eb7 D7
and fight dirty!
      Gm    Eb7 D7
Fight dirty
      Gm    Eb7 D7
Fight dirty
      Gm    Eb7 D7
Fight dirty
Gm
Yeah!
