VERSE 1
********
I'm a man from Brummagem town 
And a Brummie won't stay Ddown 
I've worked from dawn, to the sun next morn 
With a shovel and a pick and a deal of brawn 
I Gput the bullring there 
I built Victoria Dsquare 
I saw the nobs give tips with bobs 
And I thought I'd get my Gshare 
----------------------
CHORUS
*******
Well, you Cmight say I'm Gnouveau
Not Cfit to mix with Ggentry
But Cif you make a Gshow 
It's Cmoney gains you Gentry 
I've Cgot my country Ghome 
My Ccarriages and Ghorses 
I Cmight be Gnouveau, Ambut I'm Griche 
DPlaying the market Gforces C  G  Am  G  D  G  
---------------------
VERSE 2
********
Well, a labourer's just a fool 
A pawn and a boss's Dtool 
So, I cast my mind and what did I find? 
Well, I found me a golden rule 
Give Godds of six to four 
Ten to one the Ddraw 
They'll bet all day, they'll always pay 
And then come back for Gmore 
----------------------
CHORUS
*******
Well, you Cmight say I'm Gnouveau
Not Cfit to mix with Ggentry
But Cif you make a Gshow 
It's Cmoney gains you Gentry

I Cmight be Gnouveau, Ambut I'm Griche

VERSE 3
********
Well, it must be god's good plan 
So, I take it all I Dcan 
The chapel gate, the silver plate
Were bought by this god-fearing man 
And my Gson will have it all 
The pub, the lodge, the Dhall 
He's an empire lad just like his dad 
And he's heard his country's Gcall 
---------------------
CHORUS
*******
Well, they Cmight say he's Gnouveau
Not Cfit to mix with Ggentry 
But I Cgave him such a Gshow 
My Cmoney bought him Gentry 
He's Cgot the best there Gis 
In Cuniforms and Ghorses 
He Cmight be Gnouveau, Ambut he's Griche
And an Dofficer in the Gforces C  G  Am  G  D  G

VERSE 4
********
He's smart, that lad of mine 
He'll serve his country Dfine 
The Kaiser dreams of war it seems 
But he'd better toe the line 
Oh, Gwar would bring us hell 
But jobs of work as Dwell 
Be it gun or blade, it's Brummie made 
And we live by what we Gsell 
Be it Dgun or blade, it's Brummie made 
And we live by what we Gsell 
He's smart, that lad of mine 
He'll Dkeep out of the line

VERSE 1

********

I'm a man from Brummagem town

And a Brummie won't stay down

I've worked from dawn, to the sun next morn

With a shovel and a pick and a deal of brawn

I put the bullring there

I built Victoria square

I saw the nobs give tips with bobs

And I thought I'd get my share

----------------------

CHORUS

Well, you might say I'm nouveau

VERSE 2

********

Well, a labourer's just a fool

A pawn and a boss's tool

So, I cast my mind and what did I find?

Well, I found me a golden rule

Give odds of six to four

Ten to one the draw

They'll bet all day, they'll always pay

And then come back for more

----------------------

VERSE 3

********

Well, it must be god's good plan

So, I take it all I can

The chapel gate, the silver plate

Were bought by this god-fearing man

And my son will have it all

The pub, the lodge, the hall

He's an empire lad just like his dad

And he's heard his country's call

---------------------

CHORUS

*******

C G

Well, they might say he's nouveau

C G

Not fit to mix with gentry

C G

But I gave him such a show

C G

My money bought him entry

And an officer in the forces

He's smart, that lad of mine

He'll serve his country fine

The Kaiser dreams of war it seems

But he'd better toe the line

Oh, war would bring us hell

But jobs of work as well

Be it gun or blade, it's Brummie made

And we live by what we sell

Be it gun or blade, it's Brummie made

And we live by what we sell

He's smart, that lad of mine

He'll keep out of the line
