Back when I was younger they were talkin' at me

Never listened to a word I said

Back when I was younger they were talkin' at me

Never listened to a word I said

Always yap yap yappin' and complainin' at me

Made me think I'd be better off dead
D A E A
I don't wanna talk about it

They would always teach me that to swear was a sin

Always speak your mind but not aloud

Think of something that you wanna do with your life

Nothin' that you like that's not allowed
D A E A
I've no time to talk about it

All your stupid hopes and dreams
D A E A
Get your feet back on the ground son
G D E
It's exams that count not football teams
Chorus
------
D E A
And I'm runnin' at the edge of their world

Livin' on the edge of their town

And I won't be shot down
Verse 3

Taught me to defend myself and to be a man

How to kick someone and run away

Gave me everythin' that any young man could need

Here's your room and here's your records
D A E A
Here's your home and here you'll stay

Wish someone would take it all away

"A Scotsman in Germany"
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official STIFF LITTLE FINGERS tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
