[Ebm]When it's not to be your n[Ab]ight[A]

[A]Upon the drifting ice
[Dmaj7]Caught behind enemy lines

[A#m]Kids knee-deep in rubb[C7]le
[Fm]London urchins grey wit[Cm]h dust
[C#]Packed off o[G#]urs in evacuations[F#]
[Ebm]To farmers' wives

Green and pleasant lives
Far f[Ab]rom the doodlebu[A]gs
[A#m]Nanna Doll she still remembe[C7]rs
[Fm]Leaving town in worn-ou[Cm]t shoes
[C#]Now she's back o[G#]ut west in she[F#]ltered accommodations
[Ebm]Homes for the old where pills a[Ab]ren't the o[A]nly blues

Chorus:

[A#m]Tread carefully, so carefully
[A]Upon the drifting ice
[Dmaj7]Staring blank into the TV guide
[E]In 200[F]9

[A#m]How it's hurting me, I[A]'ve only seen her twice
[Dmaj7]Since you went west for the second time
[E]Since 19[F]39
