Jam

Jam - Thats Entertainment guitar tab

The chords are Bb - Gm (verse), then Cm - Ab (chorus).

Play them thus:

Bb Gm Cm Ab

EADGBE EADGBE EADGBE EADGBE

688766 355333 x35543 466544

In fact, the Gm is more of a Gm7 that resolves to Gm (in tune with the

la-la-la-la-las), but it's a pig to play that and sing the words (which don't

really scan properly) at the same time, so I don't bother. It sounds okay.

THAT'S ENTERTAINMENT- The Jam

Bb Gm

A police car and a screaming siren

Bb Gm

Pneumatic drill and ripped up concrete

Bb Gm

A baby wailing, stray dog howling

Bb Gm

The screech of brakes and lamp light blinking

Cm Ab Cm Ab Bb Gm Bb Gm

That's entertainment, that's entertainment

The smash of glass and the rumble of boots

An electric train and a ripped up phone booth

Paint splatters walls and the cry of a tomcat

Lights going out and a kick in the balls

I say that's entertainment, that's entertainment-Ahh! (la la la)

Days of speed and slow time Mondays

Pissing down with rain on a boring Wednesday

Watching the news and not eating your tea

A freezing cold flat, and damp on the walls

I say that's entertainment, that's entertainment

Waking up at 6am on a cool warm morning

Opening the windows and breathing in petrol

An amateur band rehearsing in a nearby yard

Watching the telly and thinking about your holidays

That's entertainment, that's entertainment-Ahh! (la la la)

Waking up from bad dreams and smoking cigarettes

Cuddling a warm girl and smelling stale perfume

A hot summer's day and sticky black tarmac

Feeding ducks in the park and wishing you were far away

That's entertainment, that's entertainment

Two lovers kissing amongst the scream of midnight

Two lovers missing the tranquility of solitude

Getting a cab and travelling on buses

Reading the grafitti about slashed seat affairs

I say that's entertainment, that's entertainment-Ahh! (la la la)

La la la... (to fade)

NOTE: At last, the complete correct words! I can't understand a thing

Paul Weller ever says, but luckily I have the lyric sheet from "Sound

Affects". P.S.- does anyone have the words for "The Bitterest Pill"? I

kind of figured out the guitar but I don't have the slightest idea what

he's saying.

(from Sound Affects, 1980)
