C G Am C G Am
F Am Em G Am
[Verse 1]
C G Am C G Am
Summon deputies and constables, The stewards and the judge
F Am Em G Am
The Bailiff of legalities, The magistrates and such
[Verse 2]
C G Am C G Am
From afar we watched you struggle up, This long ascending drive
F Am Em G Am
Saw your march begin through the thick and thin, Now we see you arrive
[Verse 3]
C G Am C G Am
So now all of you be shall repelled, From these our castle gates
F Am Em G Am
Not one inch of ground you’ll pinch, Into our great estates
[Chorus]
C G Am
You scavengers, you jackals and thieves!
C G Am
You slurry of the world, you foul disease
C G Am
You scavengers, you crabs and drains
C Em Am
You vulture’s tongue, you leech and chain
[Verse 4]
C G Am C G Am
Now seize, arrest and apprehend, Persons twelve or more
F Am Em G Am
Riotously assembled outside their master’s door
[Verse 5]
C G Am C G Em
And repudiate all contracts, Cancel every claim
C
Send you back down the way that you came!
[Instrumental]
C G Am C G Am
F Am Em G Am
Em G Am
[Verse 6]
C G Am C G Am
And you wrote the law and you built the church, Such a fine disguise
F Am Em G Am
Like rooks on all the meat you perch, Then you claim to be surprised
Em G Am
To discover you’re all despised
[Verse 7]
C G Am C G Am
So gather and advance my friends, Twelve good souls or more
F Am Em G Am
This jury will assemble outside the master’s door
[Chorus]
C G Am
You scavengers, you jackals and thieves!
C G Am
You slurry of the world, you foul disease
C G Am
You scavengers, you crabs and drains
C Em Am
You vulture’s tongue, you leech and chain
[Verse 8]
C G Am C G Am
So we see your empires rise, We shall see them fall
F Am Em G Am
And through the dust you’ll see us come, Over your castle wall
Em G Am
Coming forward one for all
[Chorus]
C G Am
You scavengers, you jackals and thieves!
C G Am
You slurry of the world, you foul disease
C G Am
You scavengers, you crabs and drains
C Em Am
You vulture’s tongue, you leech and chain
[Outro]
C G Am C G Am
F Am Em G Am
Em G Am
