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