Intro: A 

(Verse 1) 

   Bm          G         A           Bm 
We wanna get a statement, for Jesus' sake 
G                            A 
It's like I'm talking to the wall 
     Bm        G        A          Bm 
He's in communicado, no comment to make 
G                         A 
He's saying nothing at all 
 
(Chorus) 

               G        D                  Em         D 
Yeah but in the communiqué, you know he's gonna come clean 
G             D       Em 
Think what he say, say what he mean 
  G        D             Em            D 
Maybe on a Monday he got something to say 
G         Bm  A        Bm

Communiqué 
 
(Verse 2) 
  
Maybe he could talk about the tricks of the trade 
 
Maybe he could talk about himself 
 
Mabye he could talk about the money that he made 
 
Maybe he be saying something else 
 
(Chorus) 
 
But in the communiqué you know he's gonna come clean 
 
Think what he say, say what he mean 
 
Maybe on a Monday he got something to say 
 
Communication, communiqué 
 
Communiqué 
 
(Verse 3) 
  
Then we got the story, the serious piece 
 
And a photograph a-taken in the hall 
 
And you don't have to worry with the previous release 
 
Right now he's saying nothing at all 
 
(Chorus) 
 
But in the communiqué you know he's gonna come clean 
 
Think what he say, say what he mean 
 
Maybe on a Monday he'll have something to say 
 
Communication, communiqué 
 
Communiqué 
 
(Bridge) 

A 
Well now the rumours are flying, speculation rife 
 
They say that they been trying someone else's wife 
 
Somebody at the airport, somebody on the phone 
 
Says he's at the station and he's coming alone 
 
(Chorus) 
 
Yeah but in the communiqué he's gonna come clean 
 
Think what he say, say what he mean 
 
Maybe on a Monday he got something to say 
 
Communication, communiqué 
 
Communiqué
