Nick Clegg Says Sorry - The Poke
Very simple, just four chords repeated for the whole song
Spoken
N/C.
I'd like to take this Opportunity to put a few things straight
Eb
When I meet people around the country
Bb Db
It's obvious that many of you have strong, pretty mixed reactions,
Ab
to some of the things the liberal democrats have done in government.
Eb Bb
Many of you tell me that you're glad that at a time of real economic uncertainty
Db Ab
we put aside our political differences to provide our country with stable leadership.
Sung
Eb Bb Db
But I also meet people who are dissapointed and are angry that we couldn't
Ab
keep all our promises we couldn't keep all our promises
Eb Bb
above all our promise not to raise tuition fees
Db N/C.
and to those people I say this
Eb
we made a promise before the election
Bb
that we would vote against any rise in fees
Db
we would vote against any rise in fees
Ab
we would vote against any rise in fees
Eb Bb
it was a pledge made with the best of intentions
the best of intentions
Spoken
Db
but we shouldn't have made a promise
Ab
we weren't absolutely sure we could deliver
Sung
Chorus
Eb
I'm sorry, I'm sorry
Bb
I'm so, so, sorry
Db Ab
There's no easy way to say, i'm sorry, i'm sorry
Eb
I'm sorry, I'm sorry
Bb
I'm so, so, sorry
Db Ab
There's no easy way to say, i'm sorry, i'm sorry
When we're wrong we hold our hands up,
but when we're right we hold our heads up too,
you learn from your mistakes and that's what we will do,
I accept that won't be enough for everyone but I owe it to you,
you learn from your mistakes and that's what we will do
Chorus
Eb
I'm sorry, I'm sorry
Bb
I'm so, so, sorry
Db Ab
There's no easy way to say, i'm sorry, i'm sorry
Eb
I'm sorry, I'm sorry
Bb
I'm so, so, sorry
Db Ab
There's no easy way to say, i'm sorry, i'm sorry
Eb
We are sorry, we are sorry
Bb
The liberal democrats are sorry
Db Ab
There's no easy way to say, we are sorry, we are sorry
Eb
We are sorry, we are sorry
Bb
The liberal democrats are sorry
Db Ab
There's no easy way to say, we are sorry,
Spoken
N/C.
And, if we've lost your trust,
that's how I hope we can start to win it back.
