Intro
F – C – F – C – Dm – Am – Dm – C –
F – C – F – C – Dm – Am – Dm C Dm
Verse 1
Dm – Gm – A7 – Dm – x4
I've played a lot of places, and I'll play them all again
And everywhere I go I hear the same old thing again
Somebody dies in police custody
Soon there are questions from the family
At first the situation makes the lawmen look so filthy
But they investigate themselves and it turns out that they're not guilty

Chorus 1
F – C – F – C – Dm – Am – Dm – C –
F – C – F – C – Dm – Am – Dm C Dm
Hey, hey, Daloy Polizei!
It means the same thing now as yesterday
Out of your houses, into the streets
Everybody say, "Fuck thе police!"
Post-Chorus 1
F – C – F – C – Dm – Am – Dm – C –
F – C – F – C – Dm – Am – Dm C Dm
Verse 2
Dm – Gm – A7 – Dm – x4
Ian Bush's parents didn't know he was a killеr
When Constable Koestler took him in for an open can of Miller
The video at the station house, it somehow got erased
But the bull was there so we can know exactly what took place
The boy jumped on his back, but the cop was quick instead
He reached around and shot him, right in the back of the head
Constable Koestler would not demonstrate just how this thing was done
If you think that it's impossible, then the coroner's not alone

Chorus 2
F – C – F – C – Dm – Am – Dm – C –
F – C – F – C – Dm – Am – Dm C Dm
Well hey, hey, Daloy Polizei
It means the same thing now as yesterday
Out of your houses, into the streets
Everybody say, "Fuck the police!"

Post-Chorus 2
Dm – Gm – A7 – Dm – x4
Verse 3
Dm – Gm – A7 – Dm – x4
There must be something magic down in the holding cells
Cause there's stuff that happens there that just don't happen nowhere else
Healthy people dying from a sudden heart attack
Men who hang themselves with their hands tied behind their back
There's lots of good and brave police, it must be true, I guess--
It's brave to work with a murderer sipping coffee by your desk

Chorus 3
F – C – F – C – Dm – Am – Dm – C –
F – C – F – C – Dm – Am – Dm C Dm
Well hey, hey, Daloy Polizei
It means the same thing now as yesterday
Hey, hey, Daloy Polizei
It means the same thing now as yesterday
Out of your houses, into the streets
Everybody say, “Fuck the police!”
