[Intro]
---------------------
D5

[Verse 1]
---------------------
    D5                     G5    A5         D5
They  like to get you in a compromising position
G5 A5          D5                     G5         A5            D5
     Well, they  like to get you there  and smile  in your face
G5 A5                D5                          G5         A5        D5
     Yeah, they think  they're so cute when they got you in that condition
G5 A5     D5               G5 A5         D5
     But I  think it's a to__tal disgrace
   G5  A5
And  I say

[Chorus (1)]
---------------------
 D5                   G5      A5         D5
I  fight authority, Authority always wins
G5 A5       D5                   G5      A5         D5
     Well, I  fight authority, Authority always wins
G5 A5                D5                     G5
     Well, I've been doing it since I was a young kid
    A5             D5
And I come out grinnin'
G5 A5       D5                   G5      A5         D5
     Well, I  fight authority, Authority always wins
G5    A5
  (Oh yeah!)
D5 G5 A5 D5 G5 A5  D5
                 I call up my preacher

[Verse 2]
---------------------
      G5        A5                  D5
I say,  "Give me  strength for round  five."
G5 A5         D5                          G5         A5              D5
     He said, "You don't need no strength,  you need to grow up son."
G5 A5        D5                      G5       A5            D5
     I said, "Growin' up leads to growin' old and then to dyin'
G5 A5       D5                     G5     A5                 D5
   Ooo, and dyin' to me don't sound  like all that much fun."
    G5      A5
And so I'll say

[Chorus (2)]
---------------------
 D5                   G5      A5         D5
I  fight authority, Authority always wins

     Well, I  fight authority, Authority always wins
G5 A5                D5                     G5
     Well, I've been doing it since I was a young kid
A5             D5
I come out grinnin'
G5 A5       D5                   G5      A5         D5 G5 A5
     Well, I  fight authority, Authority always wins
