[Verse 1]
F#/B B F#/B B B4 B B4 B B4
Along the Forest Road, there's hundreds of cars - luxury cars.
F#/B B F#/B B B4 B B4 B B4 G#4 G# G#4 G#
Each has got its load of convertible bars, cutlery cars - superscars!
G# B/F# E F#/B B B F#/B B B
For to---day is the day when they sort it out, sort it out,
Fm7b5 Db7/F Fm7b5 Gadd#11/D A B
'cause they dis-----agree on a gangland boundary.
Fm7b5 Db7/F Fm7b5 Gadd#11/D A B
Yes, they dis-----agree on a gangland boundary.
 
[Verse 2]
F#/B B F#/B B B4 B B4 B B4
There's Willy Wright and his boys - one helluva noise, that's Billy's boys!
F#/B B F#/B B B4 B B4 B B4
With fully-fashioned mugs, that's Little John's thugs, the Barking Slugs -
G#4 G# G#4 G#
supersmugs!
G# B/F# E F#/B B B F#/B B B
For to---day is the day when they sort it out, sort it out,
Fm7b5 Db7/F Fm7b5 Gadd#11/D A B
These Christian soldi-ers fight to protect the poor.
Fm7b5 Db7/F Fm7b5 Gadd#11/D A
East-end hero--es got to score in...
 
[Chorus]
B B4 B
The Battle of Epping Forest,
B B4 B
It's the Battle of Epping Forest,
F#
Right outside your door.
B B4 B
And you ain't seen nothing like it.
B B4 B
No, you ain't seen nothing like it,
F#
Not since the Civil War.
 
[Verse 3]
G#m
Coming over the hill are the boys of Bill,
F# F#4 F#
And Johnny's lads stand very still.
G#m
With the thumpire's shout, they all start to clout
F# F#4 F#
- there's no guns in this gentleman's bout.
G#m
Georgie moves in on the outside left
F# F#4 F#
With a chain flying round his head;
E
And Harold Demure, from Art Literature,
D#m
Nips up the nearest tree.
 
(Here come the cavalry!)
 
[Bridge]
Emaj7 D#m E D#m
 
[Verse 4]
G#
Admidst the battle roar,
Eadd#11/G#
Accountants keep the score: 10-4.
A# C
They've never been alone, after getting a radiophone.
A# Fm Cm C# Fm A#
The bluebells are ringing for Sweetmeal Sam, real ham,
G# D# F#m6 Fm
Handing out bread and jam just like any picnic.
Cm
Picnic.
Fm
Picnic.
B
Picnic.
 
[Bridge]
B E B E
 
[Verse 5]
B E
It's 5-4 on William Wright; he made his pile on Derby night.
B E
When Billy was a kid, walking the streets,
G#
The other kids hid - so they did!
E B
And now, after working hard in security trade, he's got it made.
C# Em6/G F#m7 B
The shops that need aid are those that haven't paid.
 
[Verse 6]
B E
"I do my double-show quick!" said Mick the Prick, fresh out the nick.
B E
"I sell cheap holiday. The minute they leave,
G#
Then a visit I pay - does it pay!"
E B
And his friend, Liquid Len by name, of Wine, Women and Wandsworth fame,
C# Em6/G F#m7 B
Said "I'm breaking the legs of the bastard that got me framed!"
C# Em6/G F#m7 B
"I'm breaking the legs of the bastard that got me framed!"
A/B
"Got me framed..."
 
[Verse 7]
D Em/D D
They called me the Reverend when I entered the Church unstained;
Em/D D
My employers have changed but the name has remained.
A#/F
It all began when I went on a tour,
A#/E
Hoping to find some furniture.
A#/F
I followed a sign - it said "Beautiful Chest".
Gm
It led to a lady who showed me her best.
A G D
She was taken by surprise when I quickly closed my eyes.
A#/F A#/E
So she rang the bell, and quick as hell
A#/F G
Bob the Nob came out on his job
C Em6add9
To see what the trouble was.
B F#6
"Louise, is the Reverend hard to please?"
A#
"You're telling me!"
F6
"Perhaps, sir, if it's not too late.
A
We could interest you in our old-fashioned Staffordshire plate?"
 
[Verse 8]
D Em/D D
"Oh no, not me, I'm a man of repute."
Em/D D
But the Devil caught hold of my soul and a voice called out "Shoot!"
A#/F
To save my steeple, I visited people;
A#/E
For this I'd gone when I met Little John.
A#/F
His name came, I understood,
Gm A G D
When the judge said "You are a robbing hood."
A#/F A#/E
He told me of his strange foundation,
A#/F G7
Conceived on sight of the Woodstock nation;
C Em6add9
He'd had to hide his reputation.
B F#6
When poor, 'twas salvation from door to door.
A# F6
But now, with a pin-up guru every week,
A
It was Love, Peace & Truth Incorporated for all who seek.
D Em/D D
He employed me as a karmamamechanic, with overall charms.
Em/D D
His hands were then fit to receive, receive alms.
 
[Bridge]
D Em/D F# F#4 F# F#7
That's why we came
 
[Chorus]
B B4 B
The Battle of Epping Forest,
B B4 B
This is the Battle of Epping Forest,
F#
Right outside your door.
B B4 B
We guard your souls for peanuts,
B B4 B
And we guard your shops and houses
F#
For just a little more.
 
[Verse 9]
G#m
In with a left hook is the Bethnal Green Butcher,
F# F#4 F#
But he's countered on the right by Mick's chain-gang fight,
G#m
And Liquid Len, with his smashed bottle men,
F# F#4 F#
Is lobbing Bob the Nob across the gob.
G#m
With his kissar in a mess, Bob seems under stress,
F# F#4 F#
But Jones the Jug hits Len right in the mug;
E
And Harold Demure, who's still not quite sure,
D#m
Fires acorns from out of his sling.
 
(Here come the cavalry!)
 
[Bridge]
Emaj7 D#m E D#m
 
[Verse 10]
G#
Up, up above the crowd,
Eadd#11/G#
Inside their Silver Cloud, done proud,
A# C
The bold and brazen brass, seen darkly through the glass.
A# Fm Cm C# Fm A#
The butler's got jam on his Rolls; Roy doles out the lot,
G# D# F#m6 Fm
With tea from a silver pot just like any picnic.
Cm
Picnic.
Fm
Picnic.
B
Picnic.

[Verse 10]
F# B F# B E B
Along the Forest Road, it's the end of the day
E B E
And the Clouds roll 'way.
F# B F# B E B
Each has got its load - they'll come out for the count
C#m G#m
At the break-in of day.
A# Fm Cm C# Fm A#
When the limos return for their final review, it's all through'
G# D# F#m6 F#
- all they can see is the morning goo.
A#m G#m F# F# A#m G#m B F#
"There's no-one left alive - must be draw."
F# A#m G#m B F# A#m G#m B A#
So the Blackcap Barons toss a coin to settle the scoooooooooooooore.
