I'm right to whine, cut back
Stop being white, get red and black
Stop having to pay that estate
I was born [Bb] with a plastic [Eb] spoon in my mouth
I know sad [Ab] about my face and [Eb] hate from my big mouth
[F] Are you gonna be in the eye?
And look at me as I watch me cry
I tell you I'm from London and they get what I'm from
I work it out somehow, and I won't [Bb] keep a file
Stop being you, love [Eb] your back
I'll see you right through, [Eb] plastic man
I love to be white, get red and black
I won't have to make that estate
Stop [Bb] [Eb]

Stop being you

I'll stop being you
I'll stop being you

To jam and learn Sex Pistols - (Dave Goodman Wessex Studio Session / 1976) Substitute chords, your primary focus should be mastering these chords sequence: Bb, Ab, Eb, Bb and Eb. I suggest starting at a calm pace of 39 BPM, and as you gain confidence, approach the song's BPM of 79. With Eb Major as the song's key, tweak the capo to cater to your vocal pitch and chord likes.
