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