Verse
C
Heavenly father could you hear the prayers I offer you today,
Em
some of the people in the parish have been asking me to pray for them,
F
they have no strength to help themselves,
F
they need help fending for themselves,
G
and we do all we can do but theres so little that we can do,
[Verse 2]
C
and this is the worst winter I know of even worse than last,
Em
the snow has stayed for too long on the ground and for the second year around,
F
now all across our little Island we give all our sweat and toil
G
and still the crops they have all rotted in the soil,
[Pre-Chorus]
Dm
and all along the Western seaboard they await with open hands
G
for something to feed there children or a ship to foreign lands,
Dm
but there's nothing here to give them except for chicken feed and sand,
G
while Britannia rules the roost with iron hands
[Chorus]
Dm
Lord what can we do now,
Dm
oh good Lord what can we do
G
when we need to feed so many and there's not even for the few,
Dm
Lord what can we do now,
Dm
Lord what can we do,
G
they are starving, they are freezing,
N.F Dm
and their clothes have all worn through
[Bridge]

[Verse 3]
C
Heavenly father your people need you more than ever now,
Em
it is such a desperate situation that the nation's in somehow,
F G
I can't see many pulling through because even if we had the food to feed them many have disease,
G
Lord I hope you hear our pleas,
[Verse 4]
C
they are scattered by the roadside,
C
in the towns and in the fields,
Em
and there is not even food to work for,
nevermind beg, lend or steal,
F
and if we go by the predictions with starvation and eviction
G
some two million will be dead before we're through,
[Pre-Chorus]
Dm
still all along the western seaboard they await with open hands
G
for something to feed their children or a ship to foreign lands,
Dm
for there's nothing here to give them except for chicken feed and sand,
G
while Britannia rules the roost with iron hands
[Chorus]
Dm
Lord what can we do now,
Dm
oh good lord Lord what can we do,
G
when we need to feed so many but there's not even for the few,
Dm
Lord what can we do now,
Dm
Lord what can we do,
G
they are starving,
N.C.
they are freezing,
N.C. Dm
and their clothes have all worn through,
Dm G
[Outro]
G Dm
they have no one else but you.
