Police On My Back
=================

Written by Eddy Grant (ta to Stephen Turner for that).  From the OTF-issued 
"Police On My Back" 12".  Transcribed by Alan Bigham 15/4/00.  Lyrics nicked 
from Lars site (see Links).

Very rare track!  As far as I know, it only appears on the first OTF issued 
EP.  The chords for the verses are the same throughout.


CAPO 1!

 Down the railway track
 Won't you help me
 Police on my back
 They're gonna shoot me
 If I dare turn back
 Won't you give me
 All the speed I lack
