Lord Anthony

F#m  G  F#m  G  D

[Verse 1]
D                   A
Anthony, bullied at school
             G                 D        A
Get your own back, now you are cool, or are you scared?
D                           A
Bunking off though you're a toff
                    G                        Gm
It's all gone wrong again, you've got double maths
        D                    A
But the teacher's got no control
                   Bm                  Gm
The boys will run riot, you will stay quiet
            Em    Bb
Or you will die

[Verse 2]
D                       A
Tony at the back of the gym
             G                      D
Smoke another one, your chances are slim
     A               D
Cos here they come again
                        A
And they got you on the ground
              G                         Gm
Tasting blood again, at least it's your own

[Chorus 1]
              D                       A
When will you realize that it doesn't pay
                   Bm
To be smarter than teachers
             G
Smarter than most boys?
         D                        A
Shut your mouth, start kicking the football
           Bm                       Gm
Bang on the teeth, you're off for a week boy

[Bridge 1]
                   D                     G
You may as well take it in the guts - it can't get worse
     D                        G                    F#7
Just take it in the guts - it can't get worse that this
                      D             G
'Cause you'll soon be old enough to leave them
    E
Without a notion of a care
       G           Bb                 D
You'll lift two fingers in the air to linger there

[Verse 3]
D                       A
Tony, you're a bit of a mess
       G                    D
Melted Toblerone under your dress
     A                D                                  A
And if the kids could see you they would pass you right by
     G                         Gm
Blue mascara running over your eye

[Chorus 2]
              D                       A
When will you realize that it doesn't pay
                   Bm
To be smarter than teachers
             G
Smarter than most boys?
         D                        A
Shut your mouth, start kicking the football
           Bm                       Gm
Bang on the teeth, you're off for a week boy

[Bridge 2]
                   D
They call you Lord Anthony
             G
But hey - it could be worse than
     D                     G
Lord Anthony, but hey - it could be worse
     D                     G                 F#7
Lord Anthony, but hey - it kind of suits you anyway
                      D             G
You'll soon be old enough to leave them
    E
Without a notion of a care
       G           Bb                 D
You'll lift two fingers in the air to linger there
