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