Riot Gear by Regina Spektor

C
Wake up

C
Put on my riot gear

C                      F   
But in the study of my house

F                         G               
I've got a smoking jacket passed to me from Grand Daddy

      C              G    
It's made of bow and arrow meat

G
Do do do do do do

G
Do do do do do do


C
Come home

C
Take off my riot gear

C           
Put on my smoke jacket

C          F                            G
But in the library of my house I have a laugh

G                          C
Medieval jokes are just as funny now

        G
If you've got a degree


Cm              G
Heaven help the ones who know

C          G         F
What makes the world go slow

Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock


(rest of the song is the same chord patterns)

The night comes
Time to go on the town
And in my best
Sashimi dress
And marble arch supporting shoes
I am a vision in my horse-drawn tank

Da da da da da da
Da da da da da da

Stay out
Drinking into the night
And they are saying those same things
And I'm like "Ha, ha, ha, hee, hee, hee"
'Til half-past three
And then it's time for me to go

Heaven help the ones who know
What makes the world go slow
What makes the world go slow

Come home
Take off my tuna dress
Put on my collard greens
And in my sleep
What dreams may come
Before I'm woken by alarms
Put on my riot gear
