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