Capo on 3rd fret
 
[Intro]
 
G Em G Em Am F G Em
 
[Verse]
 
G Em
A police car and a screaming siren,
G Em
Pneumatic drill and ripped up concrete,
G Em
A baby wailing, stray dog howling,
G Em
The screech of brakes and a lamp light blinking,
 
[Chorus]
 
Am F
That's entertainment,
Am F
That's entertainment,
 
[Instrumental]
 
G Em G Em
 
[Verse]
 
G Em
A smash of glass and a rumble of boots,
G Em
An electric train and a ripped up phone booth,
G Em
Paint splattered walls and the cry of a tomcat,
G Em
Lights going out and a kick in the balls,
I say
 
[Chorus]
 
Am F
That's entertainment,
Am F G
That's entertainment - Ahh!
Em G Em
La la la la la la...
 
[Verse]
 
G Em
Days of speed and slow time Mondays,
G Em
Pissing down with rain on a boring Wednesday,
G Em
Watching the news, not eating your tea,
G Em
A freezing cold flat and damp on the walls,
I say
 
[Chorus]
 
Am F
That's entertainment,
Am F G
That's entertainment - Ahh!
Em G Em
La la la la la la...
 
[Verse]
 
G Em
Waking up at 6am on a cool warm morning,
G Em
Opening the windows and breathing in petrol,
G Em
An amateur band rehearsing in a nearby yard,
G Em
Watching the telly and thinking 'bout your holidays,
 
[Chorus]
 
Am F
That's entertainment,
Am F G
That's entertainment - Ahh!
Em G Em
La la la la la la...
 
[Verse]
 
G Em
Waking up from a bad dream and smoking cigarrettes,
G Em
Cuddling a warm girl and smelling stale perfume,
G Em
A hot summer's day and sticky black tarmac,
G Em
Feeding ducks in the park and wishing you were far away,
 
[Chorus]
 
Am F
That's entertainment,
Am F G
That's entertainment - Ahh!
Em G Em
La la la la la la...
 
[Verse]
 
G Em
Two lovers kissing amongst the scream of midnight,
G Em
Two lovers missing the tranquillity of solitude,
G Em
Getting a cab and travelling on buses,
G Em
Reading graffiti 'bout slashed seat affairs,
I say
 
[Chorus]
 
Am F
That's entertainment,
Am F G
That's entertainment - Ahh!
Em G Em
La la la la la la...
 
Am F
That's entertainment,
Am F G
That's entertainment - Ahh!
