     D
She talks like thunder
                      A
She really lets you know
           D
She keep changing the rules
                          A
And leave you nowhere to go

     E
She bore you rigid with the party line
      F#m                          D         A
She's so far left she's gonna get left behind

           D
He wanted six pretty white spots on each side of
     A
the dice
             D
He wants it all to be equal but he needs to throw
  A
twice

               E
Now there's a guy in the corner with a smiling gaze
F#m              D
Turns to me and says

Chorus:
             A
Gonna buy a hat
                         D
'Cos I think it's gonna rain
                      E
Got caught up coming here
                         A
Ain't gonna get caught again

                 A
I'm gonna buy a big one
                    D
Like that Mr. Gorbachov
                                E
And when it's raining all this crap
                        A
Oh my hat will keep it off

Chorus:
                    A
Oh I'm gonna buy a hat
                         D
'Cos I think it's gonna rain
                      E
Got caught up coming here
                         A
Won't gonna get caught again

                 A
I'm gonna buy a big one
                     D
Like that Mr. Gorbachov
                                 E
And when it's raining all this crap
                       A
Oh my hat will keep it off

Now take a look at all them leaders
Desperation in their eyes
The tight faces smiles that cannot hide it
They know no more than you or I

Chorus:
So I'm gonna buy a hat
'Cos here they come again
And everytime they start to blah-blah
It's you and me that gets the rain

             A D E A
Gonna buy a hat
