[Verse 1]
G            E
 Dragnet for gun-blast man
G           E
 The papers had a father
G        E
 Holding up a picture
G           E
 His son-in-law killed her


[Interlude]
| G   E   | G   E   |


[Verse 2]
G      E
Yes he killed his wife
G                E
 She was wasting his life
G                      E
 His veins are full of evil serum
G           E
 But what's done is done


[Chorus]
G                            A5
 Now he's trapped in flat of angles
G                    A5
 Hiding in flat of angles
G                  A5
 Right down to its gables


[Interlude]
| G   E   | G   E   |


[Verse 3]
    G              E
And sometimes bell bust under
G                 E
 The rings from many callers
G               E
 Coupon and gas-board man
G                E
 Dragnet for gun-blast man


[Chorus]
G                         A5
 Who's trapped in flat of angles
G                       A5
 Rented cage is flat of angles
G                  A5
 Right down to its gables


[Interlude]
| G   E   | G   E   |


[Verse 4]
    G                   E
And first he started on the floorboards
G      E
 120 degrees from window
G                  E
 Doors open to specification
G                 E
 And keeps out stupid neighbours


[Chorus]
G                     A5
 Very safe is flat of angles
G                           A5
 Cheap rent too his flat of angles
G            A5
 Down to its gables


[Interlude]

[Verse 5]
G              E
Here he fights to type
G                   E
 Story of murder in his life
G                   E
 Or soap operas all day
G                      E
 In rooms of dirty laundry


[Chorus]
G                   A5
 But I'm in flat of angles
G                  A5
 Hiding in flat of angles
G                  A5
 Right down to its gables


[Interlude]
| G   E   | G   E   |


[Verse 6]
        G                   E
And the sun dragged him out one day
G         E
 From his laundry
G       E
 He saw mercenary eyes
G                             E
 The streets are full of mercenary eyes


[Chorus]
G                          A5
 Well stretched in flat of angles
G                         A5
 Not long left in flat of angles
G            A5
 Down to the gables


[Interlude]
| G   E   | G   E   |


[Verse 7]
          G                E
There's a   big reward for gun-blast man
G                     E
 A big reward for gun-blast man
G                     E
 A big reward for gun-blast man
G                     E
 A big reward for gun-blast man
