[Intro]
Am Am G D
[Verse 1]
My Gneighbours don't drink at the Dlocal
Or have Gkippers for breakfast like Dme
The Amfood that they eat smells disCgusting
They'd Amrather drink coffee than Dtea
[Verse 2]
It's Gtrue that their kids are reDspectful
They Ggave me their seat on the Dbus
But it's Amjust that there's so many Cof them
That I Amfear what will become of Dus
[Verse 3]
I'm not Emracist, all I Bwant is
To Cmake things how they used to GbeD  
But Emchange is Bstrange and
CNobody's listening to GmeD  
[Verse 4]
I Gcheered when our side won the DCold War
Spread Gfreedom and peace all aDround
Now there's Amfolks speaking Russian in CTesco's
It's a Amshame the wall had to come Ddown
[Verse 5]
I Gknow some are fleeing from Dwar zones
To Gkeep their young children from Dharm
But my Amparents stayed put through the CBlitz years
And Amme? I was sent to a Dfarm
[Verse 6]
Yeah the Emsun shines, but Bsometimes
I don't Cfeel like this is my counGtryD  
But to Emsay so? BOh no
I Cnever get no sympaGthyD  
[Verse 7]
GOnce we ruled over an Dempire
So it Gfeels like some kind of deDfeat
To comAmply with rules drawn up by Cstrangers
And Ammeasure in metres not Dfeet
[Verse 8]
We Gdon't want to go but by DJingo
If we Gcan't be in charge, then we Dmust
But Amdon't be offended, dear Cneighbour
It's not Amyou: this is all about Dus
[Verse 9]
But it's Emalright, Balright
I Cthink I've found a remeGdyD  
Yes it's Emalright, gonna be Balright
It's a CFull English Brexit for GmeD  
[Outro]

Am Am G D

[Verse 1]

G D

My neighbours don't drink at the local

G D

Or have kippers for breakfast like me

Am C

The food that they eat smells disgusting

Am D

They'd rather drink coffee than tea

[Verse 2]

G D

It's true that their kids are respectful

G D

They gave me their seat on the bus

Am C

But it's just that there's so many of them

Am D

That I fear what will become of us

[Verse 3]

Em B

I'm not racist, all I want is

C G D

To make things how they used to be

Em B

But change is strange and

C G D

Nobody's listening to me

[Verse 4]

G D

I cheered when our side won the Cold War

G D

Spread freedom and peace all around

Am C

Now there's folks speaking Russian in Tesco's

Am D

It's a shame the wall had to come down

[Verse 5]

I know some are fleeing from war zones

To keep their young children from harm

But my parents stayed put through the Blitz years

And me? I was sent to a farm

[Verse 6]

Yeah the sun shines, but sometimes

C G D

I don't feel like this is my country

Em B

But to say so? Oh no

C G D

I never get no sympathy

[Verse 7]

G D

Once we ruled over an empire

G D

So it feels like some kind of defeat

Am C

To comply with rules drawn up by strangers

Am D

And measure in metres not feet

[Verse 8]

G D

We don't want to go but by Jingo

G D

If we can't be in charge, then we must

Am C

But don't be offended, dear neighbour

Am D

It's not you: this is all about us

[Verse 9]

Em B

But it's alright, alright

C G D
