Chords for The Real McKenzies - Droppin' Like Flies

_ _ _ _ I went along to the rehearsal rooms in Camden to ask Clash
Why do you think punk rock started in the first place?
_ _ Well, because it's like, it's got nothing to do with them anymore
when like, Rod Stewart gets up there and starts
like, going on with his string orchestra, you [D] know what I mean?
It's not what you feel like, so you've got to have some music that's what you feel like
otherwise you go barmy, [Ab] don't you? _ _ _ _
_ [Eb] _ _ [Bb] _ _ [C] _ _ [Bb] _
_ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ [Bb] _
_ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ [Bb] _
_ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ [Bb] _
_ Well I don't call back at [C] 79, it was just a [Bb] weekend living in a box
You can drink and dance in this [C] small town, it's great, so it's [Bb] gonna hurt
But, and you know I needed more, [F] so I called up [Bb] and asked for the record store
And I bought all the records that I could [F] afford and I played them [Bb] all on my [G] stereo
They [Eb] say it's a song [Bb] saluting punk [F] rockers' [G] lives
And [Eb] what they did, they [Bb] changed the [F] times
_ [G] But [Eb] such a lifestyle, [Bb] they burned them on both sides
[Eb] Now they're dropping like flies, [F] all those punk rock _ [Eb] guys
_ [Bb] _ _ [C] _ _ [Bb] _
_ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ [Bb] _
Well I became a band and I remained that [C] way
And to this day [Bb] I'm still blown away
Well the band's just cut me to the bone [C] like, damn, the [Bb] pitch was tender amongst them
We just want to say, [C] they made us [Bb] who we are today
So every time we play, [F] we remember [Bb] those of yesterday
[Gm] This [Eb] is a song [Bb] saluting punk [C] rockers' lives
[Gm] And [Eb] what they did, they [Bb] changed the times
[F] _
_ [G] But [Eb] such a lifestyle, [Bb] they burned them on [F] both sides
[Eb] Now they're dropping like flies, [F] all those punk rock [Eb] guys
_ [Bb] _ _ [C] _ _ [Bb] _
_ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ [Bb] _
Well I became a band and I remained that [F] way
And to this [Bb] day I'm still blown away
And I've been asked me, I'm not dead [F] yet, but you never ever [Bb] know who I should be [Gm] next
This [Eb] is a song [Bb] saluting punk [F] rockers' [Gm] lives
And [Eb] what they did, they [Bb] changed the times
[F] _
_ [G] But [Eb] such a lifestyle, [Bb] they burned them [F] on both sides
[Eb] Now they're dropping like flies, all [F] those punk rock guys
[Eb] They're dropping like flies, all [Bb] those punk [C] rock guys
[Eb] They're dropping like flies, all [F] those punk rock [C] guys
