B G#m E B G#m
[Verse 1]
EAm I an Bagitator?

G#mDoes that make me a traitor
Before you Etoss that woBrd around
Please underEstand that I Blove this land of F#mine
[Pre-Chorus]
EAnd ya, it's true God ain't my thing
BBut if He was I'd F#rather sing

[Instrumental]
B G#m B G#m
[Verse 2]
And EBritain could be Bgreater
If it had F#fairness at it's heart
Oh, this Bnation altogether 
is more than the Esum of it's Bparts
But they'll call you a G#mtraitor
For even daring to Bbelieve. 
A slight of Ehand from those who Bbleed this land F#dry
[Pre-Chorus]
And Eya, it's true God ain't my thing
BBut if He was I'd F#rather sing
EFor all of the refugees
BPerishing in F#foreign seas
Thoses bodies Ewashed upon the shores
BFor fleeing our state F#sponsored wars
And Eour leader sleeps sound at night
'BCause he's got all the F#lyrics right

EWell, God save the Bhungry
F#God save the G#mpoor
EGod save Bthose desperate souls
F#Whose lives were torn G#mapart by war
G#mGod save the homeless
And those with F#dis-a-G#mbilities
EAnd all the other Btargets of

And there's a long and Bshameful list
F#Of folks we need God G#mto assit
But those who Esleep in pBalaces at F#night
