[E]These days I [D#m]find that [C#m]I don't [B]listen,
[E]These days I [D#m]find that we're [C#m]out of [B]touch,
[E]These days I [D#m]find that [C#m]I'm too [B]busy,
So [E]why the [D#m]attention now you [C#m]want my [B]assistance -
[C]What have you [D]done for [E]me?
[G]You've gone and got [C]yourself in [D]trouble,
[G]Now you want me to [C]help you [D]out.
[E]These days I [D#m]find that [C#m]I can't be [B]bothered,
[E]These days I [D#m]find that it's [C#m]all too [B]much,
To [E]pick up a [D#m]gun and [C#m]shoot a [B]stranger,
But [E]I've got no [D#m]choice so [C#m]here I [B]come
[C]war [D]game[E]s.

[G]Come on out[Em]side - I'll [G]sing you a [Em]lullaby,
Or [Am]tell a [Em]tale of how [Am]goodness [Em]prevailed.
We [G]ruled the [Em]world - we [G]killed and [Em]robbed,
The [Am]fucking [Em]lot - but [Am]we don't feel [Em]bad.
It was [F]done beneath the [C]flag of de[G]mocrac[Am]y,
You'll [G]bel[F]ieve and I [Am]do - yes I [G]do - yes I do -

[E]These days I [D#m]find that [C#m]I can't be [B]bothered,
To [E]argue [D#m]with them well [C#m]what's the [B]point,
Better to [E]take your [D#m]shots and [C#m]drop down [B]dead,
then they [E]send you [D#m]home in a [C#m]pine over[B]coat
[C]With a [D]letter to your [E]mum
Saying [E]find en[D#m]closed one [C#m]son - one [B]medal and a [A]note -
to [B]say he [E]won.
