Intro: Dm Am7 C G |2x
C G
It's a sunny afternoon
Am G
I try to write a song
C
A little bit of this
G
And a little bit of that
Am G
On tape before it's gone
F
It sounds a bit like r.e.m.
Am G
And a little bit like sting
F
Mix it in a bucket, let' see what it might bring
Dm Am7 C G
Na na na na all in all we're just brilliant thieves

C G
It seems that something's missing
Am G
So we add a piece of cure
C G
But now it is not hard enough
Am G
We're changing that for sure
F
Just a bit metallica
Am G
And a little spoon of clash
F
Ready is the fury song, o.k. transfer the cash
