Verse
F# C#
They're out of sorts in Sunderland
F# D#7
And terribly cross in Kent,
G#m C#
They're dull in Hull
F# D#7
And the Isle of Mull
G# C#7
Is seething with discontent,
F# C#
They're nervous in Northumberland
F# B
And Devon is down the drain,
A#
They're filled with wrath
D#m
On the firth of Forth
G# C#7
And sullen on Salisbury Plain,
C#m F# B
In Dublin they're depressed, lads,
D#7 G#m
Maybe because they're Celts
C# C#7
For Drake is going West, lads,
G# C#7
And so is everyone else.
G#7 C# C#
Hurray, hurray, hurray!
RIFF C#7 - strum once
Misery's here to stay.
[Chorus 1]
N.C. F# G#m C# F# F#7
There are bad times just around the corner,
B D#7 G#m
There are dark clouds hurtling through the sky
C# C#7
And it's no good whining
F# D#m
About a silver lining
G# G#7 C# C#7
For we know from experience that they won't roll by,
F# F#7
With a scowl and a frown
B B7
We'll keep our peckers down
G# G#7 C# C#7
And prepare for depression and doom and dread,
F# G#m C# F# B A#
We're going to unpack our troubles from our old kit bag
D#m G# C# F# C# F#
And wait until we drop down dead.
[Verse 2]
F# C#
From Portland Bill to Scarborough
F# D#7
They're querulous and subdued
G#m C#
And Shropshire lads
F# D#7
Have behaved like cads
G# C#7
From Berwick-on-Tweed to Bude,
F# C#
They're mad at Market Harborough
F# B
And livid at Leigh-on-Sea,
A#
In Tunbridge Wells
D#m
You can hear the yells
G# C#7
Of woe-begone bourgeoisie.
C#m F# B
We all get bitched about, lads,
D#7 G#m
Whoever our vote elects,
C# C#7
We know we're up the spout, lads.
G# C#7
And that's what England expects.
G#7 C# C#
Hurray, hurray, hurray!
RIFF C#7 - strum once
Trouble is on the way.
[Chorus 2]
N.C. F# G#m C# F# F#7
There are bad times just around the corner,
B D#7 G#m
The horizon's gloomy as can be,
C# C#7
There are black birds over
F# D#m
The grayish cliffs of Dover
G# G#7 C# C#7
And the rats are preparing to leave the D#BC
F# F#7
We're an unhappy breed
B B7
And very bored indeed
G# G#7 C# C#7
When reminded of something that Nelson said.
F# G#m C# F# B A#
While the press and the politicians nag nag nag
D#m G# C# F# C# F#
We'll wait until we drop down dead.
[Verse 3]
p.m. F# C#
From Colwyn Bay to Kettering
F# D#7
They're sobbing themselves to sleep,
G#m C#
The shrieks and wails
F# D#7
In the Yorkshire dales
G# C#7
Have even depressed the sheep.
F# C#
In rather vulgar lettering
F# B
C# very disgruntled group
A#
Have posted bills
D#m
On the Cotswold Hills
G# C#7 - back to open strum
To prove that we're in the soup.
C#m F# B
While begging Kipling's pardon
D#7 G#m
There's one thing we know for sure
C# C#7
If England is a garden
G# C#7
We ought to have more manure.
G#7 C# C#
Hurray, hurray, hurray!
RIFF C#7 - strum once
Suffering and dismay.
[Chorus 3 - 3/4 timing]
N.C. F# G#m C# F# F#7
There are bad times just around the corner
B D#7 G#m
And the outlook's absolutely vile,
C# C#7
There are Home Fires smoking
F# D#m
From Windermere to Woking
G# G#7 C# C#7
And we're not going to tighten our belts and smile, smile, smile,
F# F#7
At the sound of a shot
B B7
We'd just as soon as not
G# G#7 C# C#7
Take a hot water bottle and go to bed,
F# G#m C# F# B A#
We're going to un-tense our muscles till they sag sag sag
D#m G# C# F# C# F#
And wait until we drop down dead.
[Chorus 4 - normal timing]
F# G#m C# F# F#7
There are bad times just around the corner,
B D#7 G#m
We can all look forward to despair,
C# C#7
It's as clear as crystal
F# D#m
From Bridlington to Bristol
G# G#7 C# C#7
That we can't save democracy and we don't much care
F# F#7
If the Reds and the Pinks
B B7
Believe that England stinks
G# G#7 C# C#7
And that world revolution is bound to spread,
F# G#m C# F# B A#
We'd better all learn the lyrics of the old 'Red Flag'
D#m G# C# F# C# F#
And wait until we drop down dead.
