Am    F                     C
I'm walking through these pastures
    G                Am
I'm picking up sweet fruit
    F                  G
I'm shaking hands with people
     C              Am
That previously I'd shoot
    F               C
But nothing will dissuade me
G            Am
Nothing will dilute
F G C          Am
I   want to execute
F C G          Am
I   want to execute

        Dm             G              C F
And you tend to meet a lot of scum en route
   Dm                  F                C    G
It doesn't mean you've joined the other side
    Dm                   G             C              F
And because I still wear shorts and my smile is oh so cute
   Dm                G            C    G
It doesn't mean I'll run away and hide

[Chorus]
     C               F       G       C
To a world where the leaders finally confess
(I think the answer's yes, I think the answer's yes)
       C              F                  G              C
To the burning of the Stock Exchange and bombing of the press
(I think the answer's yes, I think the answer's yes)
[end Chorus]

  C                  F                G                  C
I think the answer's yes, yes, yes, I think the answer's yes

Am F C G

Am  F                     C
I'm walking through these corridors
      G                Am
Where crime meets pantomime
        F                    G
They're laughing and they're drinking
       C            Am
On the swill of overtime
    F               C
And no-one seems to know about
    G                       Am
The death-wish that they've signed
F G C          Am
Ah,   life's unkind
F C G          Am
Ah,   life's unkind

         Dm          G               C  F
And they see me as a potential new recruit
     Dm               F                    C     G
They rub their hands, slap their backs and smile
    Dm              G            C                 F
But I still wear suspenders underneath my business suit
   Dm             G             C     G
So needn't worry about me for a while

[Chorus]

Am F C G
Am F G C

Am  F               C
And no-one seems to know about
    G                       Am

F G C          Am
Ah,   life's unkind
F C G          Am   G Am
Ah,   life's unkind
         G              Am
Life's unkind, life's unkind
     G              Am
From poor old U2 to poor old Simple Minds
   G                        Am                     G
No amnesty for murderers of poor old working class
        Am           G            Am
Rope or gas, rope or gas, rope or gas
   G                        Am
No amnesty for murderers of poor old working class
        G            Am  G Am
Rope or gas, rope or gas

Am    F                      Cmaj7

So needn't worry about me for a while

          C            F/C             G           C
So to a world without hunger, where royalty face death
(I think the answer's yes, I think the answer's yes)
          C               F/C         G                   C
To the breaking down of barriers of North, South, East and West
     C                F/C      G                 C
(I think the answer's yes, I think the answer's yes)

And no-one seems to know about

The death-wish that they've signed
F G C        Am
Ah, life's unkind
F G C        Am
Ah, life's unkind

Life's unkind, life's unkind

From poor old U2 to poor old Simple Minds

No amnesty for murders of poor old working class

Rope or gas, rope or gas

No amnesty for murders of poor old working class

Rope or gas, rope or gas
