Verse
F#
Heavenly father could you hear the prayers I offer you today,
A#m
some of the people in the parish have been asking me to pray for them,
B
they have no strength to help themselves,
B
they need help fending for themselves,
C#
and we do all we can do but theres so little that we can do,
[Verse 2]
F#
and this is the worst winter I know of even worse than last,
A#m
the snow has stayed for too long on the ground and for the second year around,
B
now all across our little Island we give all our sweat and toil
C#
and still the crops they have all rotted in the soil,
[Pre-Chorus]
G#m
and all along the Western seaboard they await with open hands
C#
for something to feed there children or a ship to foreign lands,
G#m
but there's nothing here to give them except for chicken feed and sand,
C#
while Britannia rules the roost with iron hands
[Chorus]
G#m
Lord what can we do now,
G#m
oh good Lord what can we do
C#
when we need to feed so many and there's not even for the few,
G#m
Lord what can we do now,
G#m
Lord what can we do,
C#
they are starving, they are freezing,
N.B G#m
and their clothes have all worn through
[Bridge]
G#m C# G#m C#
[Verse 3]
F#
Heavenly father your people need you more than ever now,
A#m
it is such a desperate situation that the nation's in somehow,
B C#
I can't see many pulling through because even if we had the food to feed them many have disease,
C#
Lord I hope you hear our pleas,
[Verse 4]
F#
they are scattered by the roadside,
F#
in the towns and in the fields,
A#m
and there is not even food to work for,
nevermind beg, lend or steal,
B
and if we go by the predictions with starvation and eviction
C#
some two million will be dead before we're through,
[Pre-Chorus]
G#m
still all along the western seaboard they await with open hands
C#
for something to feed their children or a ship to foreign lands,
G#m
for there's nothing here to give them except for chicken feed and sand,
C#
while Britannia rules the roost with iron hands
[Chorus]
G#m
Lord what can we do now,
G#m
oh good lord Lord what can we do,
C#
when we need to feed so many but there's not even for the few,
G#m
Lord what can we do now,
G#m
Lord what can we do,
C#
they are starving,
N.C.
they are freezing,
N.C. G#m
and their clothes have all worn through,
G#m C#
[Outro]
C# G#m
they have no one else but you.
G#m C# G#m D
