INTRO: A
VERSE 1:
A
It's Lucy in the sky and all kinds of apple pie
A
She giggle at the screen 'cos it looks so green
D A
There's carpets on the pavement and feathers in her eye
E D
But sooner or later, her new friends will realise
A A
That Julie's been working for the drug squad, that Julie's been working for the drug squad
A
She won't even look you in the eye
VERSE 2:
A
Well, it seemed like a dream, too good to be true
A
Stash it in the bank while the tablets grow high
D A
In their millions and everybody's high, high, high, high man
E D
But there's someone looking down from that mountain side
A
'Cos Julie's been working for the drug squad, 'cos Julie's been working for the drug squad, Gumbo
CHORUS:
D A D A E A
Ten years for you, nineteen for you, and you can get out in twenty-five, that is if you're still alive
Oh alive, oh alive, oh alive, oh
SOLO: D A E D A
VERSE 3:
A
And then there came the night of the greatest ever raid
A
They arrested every drug that had ever been made
D
They took eighty-two laws through eighty-two doors
E D
And they didn't halt the pull till the cells were all full
A A
'Cos Julie's been working for the drug squad, 'cos Julie's been working for the drug squad
BREAK: A
VERSE 4:
A
They put him in a cell, they said you wait here
You've got the time to count all of your hair
D
You got fifteen years, it's a mighty long time
E D
You could have been a physicist, but now your name is on the mailbag list
A A
Julie's been working for the drug squad, Julie's been working for the drug squad, Gumbo
CHORUS:
D A D A E A
Ten years for you, nineteen for you, and you can get out in twenty-five, that is if you're still alive
Oh alive
