[Verse 1]
D A D Em11 D
Benny was the bouncer at the Palais de Dance
D A D Em11 D
He'd slash your granny's face up given half a chance
G G7 D A D Em11 D
He'd sell you back the pieces, all for less than half a quid
E7
He thought he was the meanest
A D A D Em11 D
Until he met with Savage Sid
[Verse 2]
D A D Em11 D
Now Sidney was a greaser with some nasty roots
D A D Em11 D
He poured a pint of Guinness over Benny's boots
G
Benny looked at Sidney
G7 D A D Em11 D
Sidney stared right back in his eye
E7
Sidney chose a switchblade
A D A D Em11 D
And Benny got a cold meat pie
[Chorus 1]
G A# A C# D C# D X2
Oh! what a terrible sight
G A# A A/C#
Much to the people's delight

One hell of a fight

X2 { G G7 D A D Em11 D
( E7 A D A D Em11 D
[Chorus 2]
G A# A C# D C# D X2
Sidney grabbed an 'atchet, buried it in Benny's head
G A# A A/C# A/D
The people gasped as he bled
A/D# A/D
The end of a Ted?
[Verse 3]
D A D Em11 D
Well, they dragged him from the wreckage of the Palais in bits
D A D Em11 D
They tried to stick together all the bits that would fit
G
But some of him was missing
G7 D A D Em11 D
And part of him arrived too late
E7
So now he works for Jesus
A D A D Em11 D x2
As the bouncer at St. Peter's Gate
[Ending]
G G7 A Bm E7 A D A D
