That’s Entertainment | Chords + Lyrics (Capo 3)
Intro
| G | Em | G | Em |
| Am | F | G | Em |
Verse 1
||: G | Em :||
A police car and a screaming siren.
A pneumatic drill and ripped up concrete.
A baby wailing, stray dog howling.
The screech of brakes and lamp light blinking.
Chorus 1
| Am | F | Am | F | G | Em |
That’s entertainment, that’s entertainment.
Verse 2
||: G | Em :||
A smash of glass and the rumble of boots.
An electric train and a ripped-up phone booth.
Paint-splattered walls and the cry of a tomcat.
Lights going out and a kick in the balls.
Chorus 2
| Am | F | Am | F |
I say that’s entertainment, that’s entertainment.
| G | Em | G | Em |
Ah. La la la la la, ah. La la la la la, ah.
Verse 3
||: G | Em :||
Days of speed and slow time Mondays (La la la la la, ah).
Pissing down with rain on a boring Wednesday (La la la la la, ah).
Watching the news and not eating your tea (La la la la la, ah).
A freezing cold flat and damp on the walls (La la la la la, ah).
Chorus 3
| Am | F | Am | F | G | Em |
I say that’s entertainment, that’s entertainment.
Verse 4
||: G | Em :||
Waking up at six AM on a cool warm morning.
Opening the windows and breathing in petrol.
An amateur band rehearsing in a nearby yard.
Watching the tele and thinking about your holidays.
Chorus 4
| Am | F | Am | F |
That’s entertainment, that’s entertainment.
| G | Em | G | Em |
Ah. La la la la la, ah. La la la la la, ah.
| G | Em | Am | F | G | Em |
La la la la la, ah. La la la la la, ah.
Verse 5
||: G | Em :||
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.
Chorus 5
| Am | F | Am | F | G | Em |
That’s entertainment, that’s entertainment.
Verse 6
||: G | Em :||
Two lovers kissing amongst the scream of midnight.
Two lovers missing the tranquility of solitude.
Gettin’ in a cab and traveling on buses.
Reading the graffiti about slashed seat affairs.
Chorus 6
| Am | F | Am | F |
I said that’s entertainment, that’s entertainment.
Outro
||: G | Em | G | Em |
Ah. La la la la la, ah. La la la la la, ah.

La la la la la, ah. La la la la la, ah.

Here’s TAB for the main strumming chord riff that appears throughout the tune.
For the chorus, apply the same strumming pattern as you saw above for the G chord to the Am (II) and F chord (IV).
