Subvert
=======

Written by Steve Lake.  The live version appears on the "Belaruse" single.

Lyrics partly taken from Kif's site (see links), some transcribed 
by Alan Bigham.  Chords transcribed by Alan Bigham, 9/12/99.

From what I can gather it's all power chords :

E : x755xx   C : x355xx   D : x577xx
B : 755xxx   A : 577xxx

And remember to use lots of distortion.  Trying to play this on an acoustic
isn't too bad if you slow it down a tad and use these chords instead :

Em : 022000   C : x32010   D : xx0232
Bm : x24432   A : x02220


Intro :
E E C D  x4

Verse I :
E                    C  D
If you've got a job
(E)                    C  D
You could be an agent
         (E)                    C  D
You could work the revolution
          (E)                   D  C
From your place of employment
B
If you've got a job
A
You could be an agent
          B
You could work the revolution
          A
From your place of employment
        B
If your work's doing your back in
         A
Get your spanner in the works
B
Internal sabotage
A                          D
Hit them where it hurts

Verse II :
If you've got a job
Don't they treat you like a slave?
Where they treat you like a zombie
Make you dig for a grave (?)
If you work in the office
Making tea for the bosses
While they're getting richer
On ten times your pay
They think you stupid
But you're working undercover
Hidden potential
To disobey

Chorus

Verse III :
If you've got a job
And there's nothing else to do
Where they've got you trapped in
All the boxes that they choose
If you've got a job
You could be an agent
If you work in the kitchen
You could re-distribute the food
If you're a policeman
You could arrest me
You don't have to do it
You can refuse

Chorus

Fiddle solo  (same chords as verses)

Chorus

Verse IV :
If you've got a job
You could be an agent
You could work the revolution
From your place of employment
If you've got a job
You could be an agent
You could work the revolution
From your place of employment
If your work's doing your back in
Get your spanner in the works
Internal sabotage
Hit them where it hurts
