The Police And The Private Chords

(ver. 3)
Metric
After finding the correct chords, which were mostly barchords, I fiddled around 
with some chords and came to this easier solution. By having a capo on the guitar 
you can also change the key like I like to, as the song is 
too deep for my singing voice. Hope the chords are all good. 


Capo on 1st fret


A	       D		       G
Get straight, wait here while I try to find the exit sign
A	   D			     B			     C
When will you stop asking strangers, no one wants what we want
`	      Em			       C	
Keep one eye on the door, keep one eye on the back
                 B
Never expect to be sure

                       C                           Em             
You're working for the police and the private, the pirates and the pilots
G                             C
Fingerprinted waiting for the train
C                           Em      
The doctor, the writer, the hairdresser, 
            G                             C
Felt up and fingerprinted waiting for the train

C                                   Em      
Lord lord mother, you're all losing love
            G                        C 
Lord listen love, you're all missing mama
                                    Em
Lord lord mother, you're all losing love
            G                         C
Lord listen love, you're all missing something I don't got

A		     D  
There's a place that ends here I know
G
When they close the gates I'll cry
A	         D
I'm so tired of never sleeping
       B	                 C
The whole world wants what we're on

C		       Em			        G
Didn't make this up I learned, I learned it from a friend
                    C     
My friend is coming clean, she told me
C                              Em             G
Keep one eye on the door, keep one eye on the bed
                   B                         C(2)Em(2)G(2)C(4)Em(2)G(2)C(2) 
Never expect to be sure, who you're working for

You're working for the police and the private, the pirates and the pilots
G                             C
