caveat:  I did this by ear...

Some of these parts are actually doubled/played by bass guitar, and I
can hear at least two guitars.

This erratic haphazard, fluttering, this toing and

frowing,   like a confused

D                       G
moth.  The collusion, illusion, and it's all

ad infinitum.   You're a really sad per-

for?  What friends are for?  What friends are

for?  What friends are for?  What are friends for?        So sad.

outro:
|: D                 G
   Fools and horses, running their courses,

D                     G
and brow beaten down, like dust on the ground.

AI                G
You cheat easily, like sweet charity.

1.,2. D                       G
      And all of the bastards the world despises

D                   G
springing surprises in newer disguises.

AI                G                              :|
You cheat easily, like all (2nd.: sweet) charity.

Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture Cicely aka Icic Badass	#1 by Cicely aka Icicles and CSkank Shankle (if u stalk me i will shoot you.) at Nov 14, 1975 at 2:20 PM EST
	An attack on punk as a fashion statement / uniform, but mainly a parting / opening shot at Malcolm McClaren - two sides to every story...... I will not be treated as property.

No Picture Chris Average	#2 by Chris Essery at Nov 9, 1987 at 3:21 AM EST
	This song I reckon is Lydon telling us that he is not "Johnny Rotten", and that everyone will always see him as this trouble making punk but he's saying that's not always him.

No Picture Ulti` Average	#3 by Ulti` 89 at May 18, 1999 at 3:08 AM EST
	At the beginning he's also saying that some of those "punks" that the Sex Pistols influenced only saw it as an image without paying much attention to the ideas and messages they were expressing in and out of the music. And he says he's going to be an individual, not a cliched cartoon. It's ironic how today most punk has become a cliche, which is what they were originally railing against.

No Picture taris Average	#4 by taris leoncho at Jan 30, 2005 at 6:39 PM EST
	I agree. Also, this song rocks.

No Picture Phillip Average	#5 by Phillip Nguyen at May 29, 2007 at 1:58 PM EST
	good point. I hate people who try to be punks just to sell records without caring about the punk ideas and it original meaning. Joe Strummer must be rolling in his grave. They are doing exactly what great punks like Lydon were against.
