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