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