(GET A) GRIP (ON YOURSELF)
--------------------------
intro: keyboard riff of D A C F G (whole band come in on the G).

guitar stays on the chord of G, while the keyboard riff is played another
three times.

G
Didn't have the money round to buy a Morry Thou
F C G
Been around and seen a lot to shake me anyhow
G
Begged and borrowed sometimes I admit I even stole
F C G
But the worst crime that I ever did was playing rock'n'roll

D F G
But the money's no good, just get a grip on yourself
D F G
But the money's no good, just get a grip on yourself

G
Suffering convictions on a two way stretch inside
F C G
The air in here in pretty thin, I think I'll go outside
G
Committed for insanity and crimes against the soul
F C G
The worst crime that I ever did was play some rock'n'roll

D F G
But the money's no good, just get a grip on yourself

But the money's no good, just get a grip on yourself
