Song:

This is tabbed for a 24 hole Echo Celeste tremolo


     5    5   5   5   5
Oh, they like to get you
5  5  5  5 -4 -3   4 4 4
In a compromising position
 6    6   6   6   6    6
They like to get you there
5    5   -4  -5   -5
And smile in your face
       5     5     5     5
Well, they think they're so
  5    5    -3  5   5  5   5   -3  4 4
Cute when they got you in that condition
 6  6   6    6   6 6 -4   -4  -5
But I think it's a total disgrace,
5  5 -5
And I say

Chorus:
5   5   5  5  5 5  5  5  5 5 -4 -3   4
I fight authority, authority always wins
 6    6   6    6 6  6 6
Well, I fight authority,
 6  6 5 5  -4 -5  -5
Authority always wins
 5     5    5    5 5  5    5
Well, I've been doing it since
5  5  5   5    5
I was a young kid,
 5   5    -4  -3   4  4
And I’ve come out grinnin'
 6    6  6     6 6  6 6
Well, I fight authority,
6  6 5 5  -4 -4   -5
Authority always wins

Verse 2:
5  5  5   5  5   5   5
So I call up my preacher
5  5      5  5    -4     -3    4    4
I say, "Give me strength for round five”
-4  -5      6   6     6   6     6
He said , "You don't need no strength,
 5    5  5   -4  -5  -5
You need to grow up son"
5  5      5  5   5    5   5   5  5    5
I said, "Growing up leads to growing old
-4   -4  -3  4 4
And then to dying
 6   6 6  6  6   6      6
And dying to me don't sound
5   -4   -4   -4   -5
Like all that much fun"
5  5  5
So I say

(Chorus)

5  5  6  6 -5 5 5  5
I say Oh no     no no
5  5  6  6      5  5
I say Oh no     no no
5  5  6  6      5  5  -5
I say Oh no     no no no

Repeat Chorus 3 times
Fading out on last time
