Hanging Around

Written by Jet Black/Jean-Jacques Burnel/Hugh Cornwell/Dave Greenfield

	  		intro: drum counts in on hi-hat, keyboard plays chord of Am twice 

Am C G (x6, bass enters 3rd time) 


Am                                    C            G 
Big girl in the red dress, she's just trying to impress us 
          Am                            C               G 
And she's got the barley fever, but she doesn't make a sound 
           Am             C G            Am             C G 
She's just hanging around ... She's just hanging around 
Am                                  C                   G 
Down the Court Road early, with the hustlers big and burly 
          Am                              C               G 
There's a million of them selling and the buyers can't be found 
             Am             C G              Am             C G 
They're just hanging around ... they're just hanging around 


Am G C 

Dm                                    F                 C 
Christ has told his mother, Christ he told her not to bother 
         Dm                            F              C 
Coz he's alright in the city, coz he's high above the ground 
          Dm             F          C 
He's just hanging around (hanging around) (<- repeat x4) 


Dm C F G 


Am                                   C             G 
One of them comes closer, he's got a monkey on his shoulder 
        Am                                C               G 
And the monkey's getting grinner, but his eyes are on the ground 
          Am             C G           Am             C G 
He's just hanging around ... he's just hanging around 
    Am                               C            G 
I'm moving in the Coleherne with the leather all around me 
        Am                                C               G 
And the sweat is getting steamy but their eyes are on the ground 
             Am             C G              Am             C G 
They're just hanging around ... they're just hanging around 


Am G C 

Dm                                    F                 C 
Christ has told his mother, Christ he told her not to bother 
         Dm                            F              C 
Coz he's alright in the city, coz he's high above the ground 
          Dm             F          C 
He's just hanging around (hanging around) (<- repeat x4) 


Dm C F G
