No Thugs In Our House

	  		
Intro E  Esus4/F#   x10 


verse 1 
E 
The insect-headed worker wife 
E 
Will hang her waspies on the line 
E 
The husband burns his paper, sucks his pipe 
E 
While studying their cushion-floor 
E 
His viscous poly-paste breath comes out 
E 
Their wall-paper world is shattered by his shout 
E 
A boy in blue is busy banging out a headache On the kitchen door 


Pre-Chorus 
C#m               A 
And all the while Graham slept on 
B                                  E 
Dreaming of a world where he could do 
B            E    B E 
Just what he wanted to 


 
A                     A/G           F 
No thugs in our house, are there dear? 
              B 
We made that clear 
               D                            A 
We made little Graham promise us he'd be a good boy 
A                     A/G           F 
No thugs in our house, are there dear? 
              B 
We made that clear 
               D                            A 
We made little Graham promise us he'd be a good boy 


E  Esus4/F#  x4 


verse 2 
E 
The young policeman who just can't grow a moustache 
E 
Will open up his book 
E 
And spoil their breakfast with reports of Asians Who have been so badly kicked 
E 
Is this your son's wallet I've got here? 
E 
He must have dropped it after too much beer! 
E 
Oh, officer, we can't believe our little angel Is the one you've picked! 


Pre-Chorus 
C#m               A 
And all the while Graham slept on 
B                                  E 
Dreaming of a world where he could do 
B            E    B E 
Just what he wanted to

We made that clear 
               D                            A 
We made little Graham promise us he'd be a good boy  
                                             


Bridge 
A                                       Amaj7 
They never read those pamphlets in his bottom drawer 
Bm                    Bbdim 
They never read that tattoo on his arm 
A                                Amaj7 
They thought that it was just a boys club badge he wore 
Bm                      Bbdim              A 
They never thought he'd cause folks any harm 

E   Esus4/F# 


verse 3 
E 
The insect-headed worker-wife 
E 
Will hang her waspies on the line 
E 
She's singing something stale and simple 
E 
Now this business has fizzled out 
E 
Her little tune is such a happy song 
E 
Her son is innocent, he can't do wrong 
E 
'Cos Dad's a judge and knows exactly What the job of judging's all about

And all the while Graham slept on 
B                                  E 
Dreaming of a world where he could do 
B            E    B E 
Just what he wanted to 

 
A                     A/G           F

We made little Graham promise us he'd be a good boy
