C5                 F  Em  C5             F  Em

I am an Anti-Christ.  Ah, I am an anarchist.

C5                                       F    Em

Don't know what I want but I know how to get it.

  C5

I wanna destroy the passerby.

 

CHORUS:

G5          F5     E5   D5    C5    F Em  C5         G5

I---- wanna be----, ah, anarchy!  Ah---!  No dogsbody.

 

Anarchy for the U.K.  It's coming sometime, maybe.

I give a wrong time, stop a traffic line.

You're future dream is a shopping scheme.

 

CHORUS:  [replace "No dogsbody." with "It's the city."]

 

INSTRUMENTAL OVER:  Dm  Em  [3x]  Dm  G5   A  G

 

How many ways to get what you want.  I use the best I use the rest.

Ah, I use the enemy.  Ah, I use anarchy.

 

CHORUS:  [replace "No dogsbody." with "It's the only way to be."]

 

BRIDGE:  D5  G  F#m  [2x]  D5

 

Is this the M.P.L.A. or is this the U.D.A.?

Is this the I.R.A.?  I thought it was the U.K.

   G5     F5  E5 D5 C5  F  Em C5

Or just another country.      Another council tenancy.

 

CHORUS:  [2x]

 

G5          F5     E5   D5  C5       F Em  C5         G5

I---- wanna be----, an anarchist!  I get-- pissed.  Destroy!
