Intro
C# F# C# A#m G# x2
C# F#
Father mows the lawn and Mother peels potatoes
C# A#m G#
Grandma lays the table alone
C# F#
And adjusts a photograph of the unknown soldier
C# A#m G#
In this Holy of Holies the Home
F# C# D#m Fm
And from the TV an unwatched voice
F# C# D#m Fm
Suggests the answer is to plant more trees
F# C# D#m Fm
The scrawl on the wall says what about the workers
F# C# D#m Fm
And the voice of the people says more salt please
C# F#
Mother shakes her head and reads aloud from the newspaper
C# A#m G#
And Father puts another lock on the door
C# F#
And reflects upon the violent times that we are living in
C# A#m G#
While chatting to the wife beater next door
F# C# D#m Fm
If paradise to you is cheap beer and overtime
F# C# D#m Fm
Home truths are easily missed
F# C# D#m Fm
Something that every football fan knows
F# C# D#m G# A#m
It only takes five fingers to form a fist
G# D#m Fm
And when it rains here, it rains so hard
D#m Fm F# G#
But never hard enough to wash away the sorrow
D#m Fm F# G#
I'll trade my love today for a greater love tomorrow
D#m Fm F# G#
The lonely child looks out and dreams of independence
D#m Fm F# G#
From this family life sentence
C# F#
Mother sees but does not read the peeling posters
C# A#m G#
And can't believe that there's a world to be won
C# F#
But in the public schools and in the public houses
C# A#m G#
The Battle of Britain goes on
F# C# D#m Fm
The constant promise of jam tomorrow
F# C# D#m Fm
Is the New Breeds litany and verse
F# C# D#m Fm
If it takes another war to fill the churches of England
F# C# D#m Fm
Then the world the meek inherit, what will it be worth
C# F#
Mother fights the tears and father, his sense of outrage
C# A#m G#
And attempts to justify the sacrifice
C# F#
To pass their creed down to another generation
C# A#m G#
Anything for the quite life
F# C# D#m Fm
In the Land of a Thousand Doses
F# C# D#m Fm
Where nostalgia is the opium of the age
F# C# D#m Fm
Our place in history is as clock watchers
F# C# D#m Fm
Old timers, window shoppers
[Outro]
C# F# C# A#m G# x4
Fade into Blake's Jerusalem...
