[Chorus] (these words go over the riff)
E                          G     E
Sex and drugs and rock 'n' roll
   E                     G       E
Is all my brain and body need
E                          G     E
Sex and drugs and rock 'n' roll
E     G       B           E
           Is very good indeed
 
[Verse 1]
C#m             G#m     A                     B
Keep your silly ways or throw them out the window
C#m                G#m   A                     B
The wisdom of your ways  I've been there and I know
C#m           G#m    A                B
Lots of other ways,  what a jolly bad show
   D                  B         A  G     E
If all you ever do is business you don't like
 
E   G   E

Sex and drugs and rock 'n' roll
E                          G
Sex and drugs and rock 'n' roll
   B           E
Is very good indeed
 
[Verse 2]
C#m          G#m      A                 B
Ev'ry bit of clothing ought to make you pretty
C#m             G#m       A              B
You can cut the clothing, grey is such a pity
C#m               G#m         A          B
I should wear the clothing of Mr. Walter Mitty
D
See my tailor, he's called Simon,
B           A     G  E
I know it's going to fit
 
[Drum Fill]
 
[Bridge]
E      E6 E  E6  E   E6 E7 E6
Here's a  little bit of advice
E      E6    E7 E6    E  E6 E7
You're quite welcome, it is free
E     E6 E  E6   E    E6 E7  E6
Don't do nothin' that is cut-price
E   E6   E    E6      E    E6  E7
You know what they'll make you be
E    E6   E   E6    E   E6 E7 E6
They will try their tricky de-vice
E    E6  E    E6  E  E6  E7
Trap you with the ordin'ry
E   E6   E     E E6 E E7    E6
Get your teeth into a small slice
E     E7   E6 E
  The cake of liberty
