D Bm The policemen of the city wear a uniform of blue F#m A walkin' within the city's border D protecting all the people Bm that's what they're paid to do, F#m A D maintaining law and order. [Verse 2] D You see them walkin' down the street Bm swingin' around the club F#m A pistols hangin' loosely from the holster D and the something of the soldier Bm in the shedding of the blood F#m A D maintaining law and order. [Verse 3] D And at the police academy Bm they're trainin' for the day F#m A where the rookies are training to be colder D Bm learning to be as hard as the hard world they face F#m A D maintaining law and order. [Verse 4] D Now in many Southern cities Bm they don't need to use their hands F#m A oh, they throw them roughly in the corner D Bm and tell the other prisoners "Here's a nigger-lovin' man" F#m A D while maintaining law and order. [Verse 5] D Now I'll be the first to tell you Bm that their pay is not the best F#m A for they all have a wife and must support her D Bm so the gamblers and the prostitutes pay them the rest F#m A D while they maintain law and order. [Verse 6] D These are bitter words of warning Bm and they have to leave you sad F#m A cause a cop may save my life tomorrow D Bm but it's really for the good man that I'm singing about the bad F#m A D who are maintaining law and order. [Verse 7] D Now they ask for greater power Bm from the bottom to the top F#m A their demands daily growing bolder D Bm but who maintain the police and who maintain the cops F#m A D while they maintain law, law and order.
