Rat Trap Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

GThere was a lot of rocking going Emon that night

Cruising time for the young, bright lights

Just down past the gasworks, by the meat factory door

The fCive lamp boys were coming on strong

GThe Saturday night city beat had alEmready started and the

The pulse of the corner boys just sprang into action

And young Billy watched it under the yellow street light

And said tonightC of Dall nights there's gonna be a fEmight

GBilly don't like it living here iEmn this town (He Says)

Traps have been sprung long before he was born (He Says)

Hope bites the dust behind all the closed doors

And pus and grime ooze from its scab-crusted sores

There's screamiCng and crying in the high-rise blocks

It's a ratG trap, Billy, but you're aDlready caught

And you canEm make it if you want to or you need it bad enough

You're yoCung and good-looking and you're acting kind of tough

Put on a bEmright suit, Billy, head for the right side of town

It's oCnly eight o'clock, but you're already bored

You don't Gknow what it is, but there's Dgot to be more

You'd better Emfind a way out, hey, kick down that door

It's a raCt traCp, D and you've been caughEmt

AmIn this town Billy says everybody's trying to tell you Emwhat to do

In this town Billy says everybody says you gotta follow rules

You walk up Amto the traffic lights

You switch from your left to your right

You push in that button, and that button comes alight and it's
