The chords are Bb - Gm (verse), then Cm - Ab (chorus).



Play them thus:



Bb         Gm        Cm        Ab

EADGBE    EADGBE    EADGBE  EADGBE

688766    355333    x35543  466544



In fact, the Gm is more of a Gm7 that resolves to Gm (in tune with the

la-la-la-la-las), but it's a pig to play that and sing the words (which don't

really scan properly) at the same time, so I don't bother. It sounds okay.

THAT'S ENTERTAINMENT- The Jam



Bb                 Gm

A police car and a screaming siren

Bb                  Gm

Pneumatic drill and ripped up concrete

Bb              Gm

A baby wailing, stray dog howling

Bb                        Gm

The screech of brakes and lamp light blinking

Cm          Ab        Cm          Ab    Bb  Gm  Bb  Gm

That's entertainment, that's entertainment



The smash of glass and the rumble of boots

An electric train and a ripped up phone booth

Paint splatters walls and the cry of a tomcat

Lights going out and a kick in the balls



I say that's entertainment, that's entertainment-Ahh! (la la la)



Days of speed and slow time Mondays

Pissing down with rain on a boring Wednesday

Watching the news and not eating your tea

A freezing cold flat, and damp on the walls



I say that's entertainment, that's entertainment



Waking up at 6am on a cool warm morning

Opening the windows and breathing in petrol

An amateur band rehearsing in a nearby yard

Watching the telly and thinking about your holidays



That's entertainment, that's entertainment-Ahh! (la la la)



Waking up from bad dreams and smoking cigarettes

Cuddling a warm girl and smelling stale perfume

A hot summer's day and sticky black tarmac

Feeding ducks in the park and wishing you were far away



That's entertainment, that's entertainment



Two lovers kissing amongst the scream of midnight

Two lovers missing the tranquility of solitude

Getting a cab and travelling on buses

Reading the grafitti about slashed seat affairs



I say that's entertainment, that's entertainment-Ahh! (la la la)



La la la... (to fade)





NOTE: At last, the complete correct words!  I can't understand a thing 

Paul Weller ever says, but luckily I have the lyric sheet from "Sound 

Affects".  P.S.- does anyone have the words for "The Bitterest Pill"?  I 

kind of figured out the guitar but I don't have the slightest idea what 

he's saying.

(from Sound Affects, 1980)
