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