G C x 2
G D C
I once had a teacher
G D C
Who said "Silence is golden
G D C
Put your name on everything
G D Em D
If you don't want it stolen"
G D C D
But Sir who owns the rolling fields?
G C Em D
And Sir who owns the standing stones?
G C Em Am
And Sir who owns the restless sea?
C D
It's not you
G D C
And it's not me
G D C
G D C
I Once had a teacher
G D C
Who said "You'll grow up too soon
G D C
You'll get washed up on higher moral ground
G D Em D
Singing Tory party pop tunes"
G D C
I once had a teacher
G D C
Who said "You'll come to no good
G D C
You want to be a fitter?
G D Em D
That's the best one I've heard all year"
G D C D
But Sir you only knew my name
G C Em D
You never really knew me at all
G C Em Am
And Sir you only ever sent
C D
Me to face
G D C
The wall
G D C
G D C
I used to live off outrage
G D C
But now I've got a mortgage
G D C
I used to be the cock of the school
G D
But now I'm just a no bill paying
Em G D
Tax evading fool
G D C D
But Sir I've walked the rolling fields
G C Em D
And felt the magic crying
G C Em Am
And seen the sorrow in the silver sky
C D
That tells you that hope is dying
G D C D
So come and stand on Pendle Hill
G C Em D
And watch the sun rising
G C Em Am
To understand that there's a light shining still
C D
Whether you're laughing
G D C
Or you're crying
G D C
You're crying
G D C
You're crying
G D C
You're not crying
G D C
You're crying (Come all you shipwrecked angels)
G D C
You're crying (Who stand here on a wire)
G D C
You're not crying (I see the sun is rising)
G D C
You're not crying (To fill our hearts with fire)
