Sex and Drugs and Rock and Roll by Ian Dury and The Blockheads
Worked out by Matt Poole of England, England, using my excellent brain.

This occurs throughout the song - mainly when he's singing sexanddrugsandrockandroll

(these words go over the riff)
Sex and drugs and rock 'n' roll
Is all my brain and body need
Sex and drugs and rock 'n' roll
Is very good indeed
C#m Abm A B
Keep your silly ways or throw them out the window
C#m Abm A B
The wisdom of your ways I've been there and I know
C#m Abm A B
Lots of other ways, what a jolly bad show
D B A G
If all you ever do is business you don't like
play that riff again
Sex and drugs and rock 'n' roll
Sex and drugs and rock 'n' roll
Sex and drugs and rock 'n' roll
Is very good indeed
do the chords again for this verse
Ev'ry bit of clothing ought to make you pretty
You can cut the clothing, grey is such a pity
I should wear the clothing of Mr. Walter Mitty
See my tailor, he's called Simon
I know it's going to fit
vamp on a III pos Em chord over this bit
Here's a little bit of advice
You're quite welcome, it is free
Don't do nothin' that is cut-price
You know what they'll make you be
They will try their tricky devise
Trap you with the ordin'ry
Get your teeth into a small slice
The cake of liberty
verse chords over keys solo
then go berserk on the riff until the song finishes. Or longer, if you prefer.
Sex and drugs and rock 'n' roll
Sex and drugs and rock 'n' roll
Sex and drugs and rock 'n' roll
Sex and drugs and rock 'n' roll - ow! ow!
Sex and drugs and rock 'n' roll - ow! ow! ow! ow!
Sex and drugs and rock 'n' roll ....
Peace.
