Verse 1
(A minor) (G major)
(C major) (G major) The po (C major) liceman walked out
(G major) oh so proud on his beat
(C major) When a vision (A minor) came to him of
(G major) stripes on his sleeve
Promo (F major) tion he whispered, (C major) I'll (F major) try for today
(C major) So come with me
Mr. (G major) I to
R 'lyeh (C major)
Come tell me your name
(G major) says the limb of the law
(C major) To the little fat (A minor) man selling wares
(D major) on (G major) the straw
What's (F major) that, my name, (C major) sir?
Why it is (F major) there on display?
(C major) And it's
Moses, (G major) right, oh, rely, oh, (C major) rely, ay!
Now the trial, it came on,
and (G major) it lasted a (C major) week
One judge said it was
(A minor) Ger man, another (D major) it was
(G major) Greek
Prove you're
Ir (F major) ish, said the (C major) po liceman,
(F major) beyond it's a (C major) 'nay
And we said, done it,
(G major) Moses, right, oh, rely, (C major) ay!
Now the prisoner stepped
up there (G major) as stiff as a (C major) crutch
Are you
Irish, or
(A minor) Eng lish, or
German, (G major) or
Dutch?
I'm a
Jew, (F major) sir, I'm (C major) a
Jew, sir, that came over (F major) to (C major) stay
And me name, it is
(G major) Moses, right -oo -ral, aye (C major) -ay
We're two of a kind,
says (G major) the judge to the
(C major) Jew
You're a cousin of
(A minor) Briscoe, and I (G major) am one, too
This numbskull (F major) has (C major) blundered,
and for (F major) it we'll (C major) pay
We sure that's right, says
(G major) Moses, right -oo -ral, aye (C major) -ay
There's a garbage collector
(G major) who works down our (C major) street
He once was a (A minor) po liceman,
the pride (G major) of his beat
And he moans (F major) all the (C major) night and
(F major) he groans all the (C major) day
Singing
Moses
(G major) Wright, oh, ally, oh, ally, (C major) aye
We're (G major) taking applications for the
IRA downstairs in the dressing room,
an (G major) d we'll also accept
donations (G major) to the
United
Jewish
Appeal.
Now, we've been singing and talking about war and destruction and fighting,
and we decided
But we shouldn't leave
you until we sing an anti -war song.
