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