Belle and Sebastian - White Collar Boy: chords

           D
You’re a white collar boy and you gave into the law
      G         D/F#          Em          D
(Give in to the pressure, the cops gonna getcha)
 D
You were a thieving dog at work until
they caught your little paw
       G          D/F#       Dm/F       E7
(Your wage won’t stretch to picking up checks)
      A                   D
A custodial sentence you narrowly avoided
   B7                 Em         Em7
Community service you had to go along with
        A                       A7
You’re banging the rocks at the old city docks
      D        C        G        A
Poor boy poor boy poor boy poor boy
 D        C        G        A
Boy poor boy poor boy poor boy

You were chained to a girl that would kill you
with a look
(It's a nice way to die, she's so easy on the eye)
She said let's get away, but you played it by
the book
(You're a warden's pet, she's a screaming
suffragette)
We ain't in prison, we'll just finish up
and go home
She said, 'Not for me, I've got plans for later on'
So she belted the sarge and she jumped on a barge
(You fell, you fell, you fell, you fell)
(Fell, you fell, you fell, you fell)

Chorus:
G                  F
White collar, got dirt in your pants
        C
You got egg in your hair
         D#
You got spit in your chin
G               F           C
White collar, scared to be bored
G                  F        C
Blue collar, she’s opening doors
G             F           C            D
White collar boy, on the run from the law

She said 'You ain't ugly, you can kiss me if
you like'
(Go ahead and kiss her, you don't know what
you're missing)
My baby, you're special
But there's something not quite right
(She's a Venus in flares and you wanna split hairs!)
Oh, I am innocent, you are the rocket
Things were ok till you took out the copper
Now leave me alone, get used to the chains
(You're a pain, you're a pain, you're a pain,
you're a pain)
(Pain, you're a pain, you're a pain, you're a pain)

Chorus:
White collar, got dirt in your pants
You got egg in your hair
You got spit in your chin
You're a white collar, got dirt in your pants
You got egg in your hair
You got spit in your chin
You're a white collar, scared to be bored
Blue collar, she's opening doors
White collar boy on the run from the law
The law, the law, the law

Get on your bike
Get on your horse
