tail,[/tab]\r\n[tab]            [ch]G[/ch]             [ch]G7[/ch]\r\nFor they’ve had us out by marches,[/tab]\r\n[tab]            [ch]C[/ch]      [ch]F[/ch]       [ch]C[/ch]\r\nAnd they’ve had us

   [ch]F[/ch]       [ch]C[/ch]\r\nWhere nothing does no good,[/tab]\r\n[tab]       [ch]C[/ch]\r\nAnd he sends us heaps of comfort,[/tab]\r\n[tab]    [ch]C[/ch]\r\nAll bought from his
