Echobelly King of the Kerb Lyrics

INTRO.
Variations on:
VERSE.
There are two guitars playing here, one plays a similar pattern to the first two bars of the intro
The other seems to just be playing the chords
Sugar smile savvy the king of the kerb
Got a temper in the style of a bomb
Got his friends in his pocket and safe behind bars
All the local boys know what he's done
He turns it on
He turns it on
He turns it on
Lead Guitar Fill in to the chorus:
Bar 5th block chords will do here, up to the very last F# in the chorus, e.g.
B: e|- D#m: e|- G#m: e|-
and so on
Same boys are doing it for themselves
There's somebody out there doing it for you
Safe while you're paying out for your health
They're the kings of the kerb
And everybody knows what their worth
INTRO REPEAT
Sugar smile savvy the king of the kerb
Keeps the order in this part of town
All the shadows in the alley the shapes at the bar
Like to service him when he does the rounds
He turns it on
He turns it on
He turns it on
Lead Guitar Fill in to the chorus:
Same boys are doing it for themselves
There's somebody out there doing it for you
Safe while you're paying out for your health
They're the kings of the kerb
And everybody knows what their worth
MIDDLE 8
Safe from harm and safe from
Greed. A little protection is all that you
Need. Safe from harm and safe from
(Block chord at 9th fret) 022300
Greed. You're just a racket ma-

Lead Guitar Fill in to the chorus:
Same boys are doing it for themselves
There's somebody out there doing it for you
Same boys are doing it for themselves
There's somebody out there doing it for you
Same boys are doing it for themselves
There's somebody out there looking out for you
Safe while you're paying out for your health
They're the kings of the kerb
They're the kings of the kerb
They're the kings of the kerb
And everybody knows what their worth
