        D                       

1. They said release 'Remote Control',

           A                                   D

    but we didn't want it on the label.

        D

    They said, "Fly to Amsterdam".

             A                                    D

    the people laughed, but the press went mad.

 

     Bm  G     A                           D

    Ooh oh, someone's really smart !

     Bm  G             A

    Ooh oh, complete control, that's a laugh !

 

                  D

2. On the last tour my mates couldn't get in,

           A                                                   D

    I'd open up the back door, but they'd get run out again.

                    D

    At every hotel we was met by the Law,

      A                            D

    come for the party, just to make sure !

 

     Bm  G             A                                D   

    Ooh oh, have we done something wrong ?

     Bm  G             A

    Ooh oh, complete control, even over this song.

 

+ instrumental = complete verse 2

 

        D

3. They said we'd be artistically free,

         A                                     D

    when we signed that bit of paper.

        D

    They meant let's make a lot of money,

              A                  D

    and worry about it later.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

     Bm  G         A                 D

    Ooh oh, I'll never understand,

     Bm  G            A              

    Ooh oh, complete control, lemme see your other hand !

 

A            G               - Bm                                          - C - G     D

   I don't judge you,            why do you judge me ?                Huh?

A                       G                Bm

    All over the news spread fast,

                 C                         - G                            D

    they're dirty, they're filthy,      they ain't gonna last !

 

A                      G        Bm

    This is Joe public speaking,

           C                                - G                              D

    I'm controlled in the body,       controlled in the mind.

A                     G                   - Bm

    This is the punk rockers,

                      C                                     G                             D

    we're controlled by the price of the hard drugs we must find.

 

A          G   - Bm      C        G         D

    Control,            freedom is control !  (3x)....
