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.
