Chords for The Stranglers - Lies and Deception

A wonderful story there.
Now, they're causing havoc backstage by the way, everybody.
To be honest, I was a little nervous when I found out I'd be interviewing my next guests.
In their time, they've had, well, they've tied up and left a journalist in the desert.
Goodness, I don't know what's going to happen tonight, I know.
And one of their members has a black belt in karate.
They are, incredibly, the Stranglers.
Local members! _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Well done, well done.
_ _ _ _ _ _

_ _ _ _ John Jack.
Hello.
John Jack, JJ, they call you.
That's right.
What are you doing at [G] the moment?
Pardon?
What are you doing with yourselves at the moment?
I'm looking down your cleavage at the moment. _ _
I meant, _ [Ab] _ I meant like, what are you doing with your tour?
_ Well, we're in the middle of, yeah, we're in the middle of a tour.
Yeah, what sort of venues do you like playing at?
What's your favourite venues?
_ Well, anywhere where there's people.
Anywhere where there's people.
_ Norwich.
Norwich.
Yeah, we played University here.
Yeah, what's the new single?
It's called Lies and Deception.
And I presume it's about lies and deception.
Absolutely, very good.
Very good.
I've got to, can we see, can we get a camera quickly on the belly?
Oh, no.
Please.
I thought you were on the skinniest and the fattest man.
No, not at all. _ _ _ _
_ _ We've worked together a long time, though.
Right, thank you, guys.
That's muscle control, though.
It is muscle control.
They'll be playing their new single, Lies and Deception, in a couple of minutes right now.
Lee!
Lee! _
Lee!
_ _ Listen.
[N] _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ Thanks very much. _ _
_ _ Thanks very much, The Stranglers.
That's it for this week.
We'll be back at the same time next week with more topical comedy, debate,
and reports on more of the weird and wonderful things people get up to in the Anglia region.
Roy Wood from Wizard is my star of the 70s.
Do you remember him?
All that hair and makeup, years before George, even.
And Doctor Who star Sophie Audre will be telling Dan why being a child star wasn't all it's cracked up to be.
So it just leaves us to say goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, everybody.
And leave you with, preparing to go, The Stranglers, Lies and Deception. _ _ _ _

_ Everything you ever said
[Fm] You brought it down, you turned around
What was said was said
[Bbm] The deed is done, you've had your fun
And home again you run
