Arctic Monkeys - Riot Van

[chorus]
              Dmaj7 C#m7
Up rolled the riot van
   Bm7
And sparked excitement
             Dmaj7 C#m7
in the boys
   Bm7                          Dmaj7 C#m7
But the policemen look annoyed
   Bm7
Perhaps these are ones they should
       Dmaj7 C#m7 Bm7
avoid

[verse]
A
They got a chase last night
C#m7
 from men with truncheons
        Bm7      E  E6  E
dressed in hats
A
They didn't do that much wrong,
C#m7                              Bm7
  still ran away though for the laugh
                   E  E6
just for the laugh

[bridge]
            Dmaj7   C#m7
Please just stop talking
Because they won't
 Bm7              Dmaj7 C#m7
find us if you do
           Bm7               Dmaj7 C#m7
Oh, those silly boys in blue
            Bm7
Well, they won't catch me and
      Dmaj7 C#m7 Bm7
you

[pre-chorus]
A
Have you been drinking son,
C#m7                          Bm7 E E6 E
 you don’t look old enough to me
A
I’m sorry officer,
    C#m7                          Bm7
is there a certain age you’re supposed to be?
             E
cause nobody told me

[chorus]
E6  E              Dmaj7 C#m7
Up rolled the riot van
            Bm7
And these lads just wind the
           Dmaj7 C#m7
coppers up
     Bm7
Ask why they don't catch
               Dmaj7 C#m7
proper crooks
       Bm7
Get their address and their
      Dmaj7 C#m7 Bm7
names took
But they couldn't care less

[solo] x2
Dmaj7  C#m7  Bm7  E

[chorus]
              Dmaj7 C#m7
Thrown in the riot van
    Bm7
And all the coppers
               Dmaj7 C#m7
kicked him in
     Bm7
And there was no way
              Dmaj7 C#m7
he could win
      Bm7
Just had to take it
             Dmaj7 C#m7 Bm7
on the chin
