For five generations my family have farmed,
D C#m Bm E
by horse and by tractor, by hoe and by hand,
A Bm C#m E
but that won't stave off the bank's latest demand.
Bm E A
Singing oh the hard times of old England
Bm E A
In old England very hard times
A C#m F#m E
Time was, I could sell what I grew at the shop,
D C#m Bm E
Then Tesco's turned up, all of that had to stop.
A Bm C#m E
Now I can't make a living out of my crop.
Bm E A
Singing oh the hard times of old England
Bm E A
In old England very hard times
A C#m F#m E
More and more of our village gets sold every day,
D C#m Bm E
To folks from the city who are happy to pay,
A Bm C#m E
For their holiday cottage to stand empty all day.
Bm E A
Singing oh the hard times of old England
Bm E A
In old England very hard times
A C#m F#m E
The Countryside Alliance expects, I suppose,
D C#m Bm E
My support when they're marching to bloody Blair's nose,
A Bm C#m E
But they said not a word when our post office closed.
Bm E A
Singing oh the hard times of old England
Bm E A
In old England very hard times
A C#m F#m E
The hedgerows my grandfather tended have gone,
D C#m Bm E
And with them the lapwing and the corncrake's sad song.
A Bm C#m E
I fear I'll be carried off before long.
Bm E A
Singing oh the hard times of old England
Bm E A
In old England very hard times
A C#m F#m E
And now to conclude and to finish my song;
D C#m Bm E
Let's hope that these hard times they will not last long,
A Bm C#m E
And I may soon have occasion for to alter my song
Bm E A
Singing oh the good times of old England
Bm E A
In old England very good times
