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