Good Morning Britain
Intro E x 4
Verse
E
Jocks got a vote in parochia
Ten long years and he's still got her
C#m B
Paying tax and doing stir
A B E
Worry about it later
E
And the wind blows hard and the wind blows cold
But it blows us good so we've been told
C#m B
Music's food 'till the art biz folds
A B E
Let them all eat culture
Chorus
E G#
The past is steeped in shame
A E
But tomorrows fair game

For a life that's fit for living
A E
Good morning Britain
Verse
E
Twenty years and a loaded gun
Funerals fear and the war ain't won
C#m B
Paddy's still a figure of fun
A B E
It lightens up the danger
E
And a corporal sneers at a Catholic boy
And he eyes his gun like a rich man's toy
C#m B
He's killing more than Celtic joy
A B E
Death is not a stranger
E
Taffy's time's gonna come one day
It's loud sweet voice but it won't give way
C#m B
A house is not a holiday
A B E
Your son's are leaving home Neil
E
In the hills and the valleys and far away
You can hear the song of democracy
C#m B
The echo of eternity
A B E
With a rak - a - rak - a feel
Chorus
E G#
The past is steeped in shame
A E
But tomorrows fair game
G#
For a life that's fit for living

Verse
E F#
From the Tyne to where the Thames does flow
A#
My English brothers and sisters know
B
It's not case of where you go
F#
It's race and creed and colour
F#
From the police cell to the deep dark grave
A#
On the underground's just a stop away
B
Don't be too black, don't be too gay
F#
Just get a little duller
F#
But in this green and pleasant land
A#
Where I make my home I'll make my stand
B
Make it cool just to be a man
F#
A uniform's a traitor
F#
Love is international
A#
And if you stand or if you fall
B
Just let them know you gave your all
F#
Worry about it later
Chorus
