The Lurking Barrister
Song: The Lurking Barrister
Album: Killingsworth
Chords: Bb, Gm, Ab, D#, F, C (I use barre chords)
Bb
He's never quiet out of sight, he's a shadow in the night
Gm Ab
Is that a document for you to sign
Bb
In the coat of the lurking barrister
Bb
Stationed by the broken neon signs, he might give you a valentine
Gm Ab
I see somebody so demised
Bb
In the eyes of the lurking barrister
Bb
In the hands of the lurking barrister
D# F Bb
He's not there to get you out of jail
C
No no no
D# F Bb
There's never been a case he couldn't fail
C
Yeah yeah yeah
C F C
The lurking barrister takes our irregular feature in the daily mail
Bb
And if you stumbling round in Temple Bar, you don't remember where you parked your car
Gm Ab
It's for sure that he won't be far
Bb
You're in the hand that's the lurking barrister
Bb
There's not a hotel he can't find, he knows the alley exit just behind
Gm Ab
Is that a knife or 45
Bb
In the coat of lurking barrister
Bb
In the hand of the lurking barrister
D# F Bb
He's not there to get you out of jail
C
No no no
D# F Bb
There's never been a case he couldn't fail
C
Yeah yeah yeah
C F C
The lurking barrister takes our irregular feature in the daily mail
C
Read the lurking barrister tales
C
Read the lurking barrister tales
Bb
He's never quiet out of sight, he's a shadow in the night
Gm Ab
Is that a document for you to sign
Bb
In the hands of the lurking barrister
Gm Ab
Is that a catapult or something more benign
Bb
In the coat of lurking barrister
Bb
In the coat of lurking barrister
Bb
In the hands of the lurking barrister
Bb
You're in the hands of the lurking barrister
