Subject: Beautiful South — ‘I Think The Answer’s Yes’
I Think The Answer’s Yes
By Paul Heaton and David Rotheray
C F G C
C F G C
Am F C G
Am F G C
Am F C
I’m walking through these pastures
G Am
I’m picking up sweet fruit
F G
I’m shaking hands with people
C Am
That previously I’d shoot
F C
But nothing will dissuade me
G Am
Nothing will dilute
F G C Am
I want to execute
F C G Am
I want to execute
Dm G C F
And you tend to meet a lot of scum en route
Dm F C G
It doesn’t mean you’ve joined the other side
Dm G C F
And because I still wear shorts and my smile is oh so cute
Dm G C G
It doesn’t mean I’ll run away and hide
[Chorus]
C F G C
To a world where the leaders finally confess
(I think the answer’s yes, I think the answer’s yes)
C F G C
To the burning of the Stock Exchange and bombing of the press
(I think the answer’s yes, I think the answer’s yes)
[end Chorus]
C F G C
I think the answer’s yes, yes, yes, I think the answer’s yes
Am F C G
Am F C
I’m walking through these corridors
G Am
Where crime meets pantomime
F G
They’re laughing and they’re drinking
C Am
On the swill of overtime
F C
And no-one seems to know about
G Am
The death-wish that they’ve signed
F G C Am
Ah, life’s unkind
F C G Am
Ah, life’s unkind
Dm G C F
And they see me as a potential new recruit
Dm F C G
They rub their hands, slap their backs and smile
Dm G C F
But I still wear suspenders underneath my business suit
Dm G C G
So needn’t worry about me for a while
[Chorus]
Am F C G
Am F G C
Am F C
And no-one seems to know about
G Am
The death-wish that they’ve signed
F G C Am
Ah, life’s unkind
F C G Am G Am
Ah, life’s unkind
G Am
Life’s unkind, life’s unkind
G Am
From poor old U2 to poor old Simple Minds
G Am G
No amnesty for murderers of poor old working class
Am G Am
Rope or gas, rope or gas, rope or gas
G Am
No amnesty for murderers of poor old working class
G Am G Am
Rope or gas, rope or gas
