Intro E x 4
Verse
[E]Jocks got a vote in parochia
Ten long years and he's still got her
[C#m]Paying tax and [B]doing stir
[A]Worry a[B]bout it [E]later
And the [E]wind blows hard and the wind blows cold
But it blows us good so we've been told
[C#m]Music's food 'till the [B]art biz folds
[A]Let them all [B]eat [E]culture
Chorus
[E]The past is steeped in [G#]shame
But to[A]morrows fair [E]game
For a life that's fit for [G#]living
[A] Good morning [E]Britain
Verse
[E]Twenty years and a loaded gun
Funerals fear and the war ain't won
[C#m]Paddy's still a [B]figure of fun
It [A]lightens up [B]the [E]danger
And a [E]corporal sneers at a Catholic boy
And he eyes his gun like a rich man's toy
[C#m]He's killing more than C[B]eltic joy
De[A]ath is not [B]a [E]stranger
[E]Taffy's time's gonna come one day
It's loud sweet voice but it won't give way
[C#m]A house is not a [B]holiday
Your s[A]on's are leavi[B]ng [E]home Neil
In [E]the hills and the valleys and far away
You can hear the song of democracy
The [C#m]echo of e[B]ternity
[A]With a rak - a - rak - [B]a [E]feel
Chorus
[E]The past is steeped in [G#]shame
But to[A]morrows fair [E]game
For a life that's fit for [G#]living
[A] Good morning [E]Britain

Verse
[E]From the [F#]Tyne to where the Thames does flow
My [A#]English brothers and sisters know
It's [B]not case of where you go
It's [F#]race and creed and colour
From the [F#]police cell to the deep dark grave
On the [A#]underground's just a stop away
Don't [B]be too black, don't be too gay
Just get a little [F#]duller
But [F#]in this green and pleasant land
Where I [A#]make my home I'll make my stand
[B]Make it cool just to be a man
A [F#]uniform's a traitor
[F#]Love is international
And [A#]if you stand or if you fall
Just [B]let them know you gave your all
Worry about it [F#]later
Chorus
[F#]The past is steeped in [A#]shame
But to[B]morrows fair [F#]game
For a [F#]life that's fit for[A#] living
[B] Good morning [F#]Britain
[F#]The past is steeped in [A#]shame
But to[B]morrows fair [F#]game
For a [F#]life that's fit for[A#] living
[B] Good morning [F#]Britain
From 1990, this is one of my favorite songs. It took me ages to figure out.
