[Intro]
C7
[Verse 1]
I got a C7letter this morning with some serious news
That's gone and ruined my day
The F7borough surveyor's used compulsory purchase
To acC7quire my domain
They're gonna G7pull up the floors
They're gonna F7knock down the walls
They're gonna C7dig up the drains
[Verse 2]
Here come the C7people in grey
They're gonna take me away to Lord knows only where
But I'm sF7o unprepared
I got no time to pack and I've got C7nothing to wear
G7Here come the people in F7grey
To take me aC7way
[Verse 3]
C7Me and my baby gonna get on a train
That's gonna take us away
I'm gonna F7live in a tent
We're gonna pay no more rent
We're gonna C7pay no more rates
We're gonna G7live in a field
We're gonna F7buy me a gun to keep the poC7licemen away
[Chorus]
I'm gonna C7pass me a brand new resolution
I'm gonna fight me a one man revolution, some way
Gonna F7beat those people in C7grey
But G7here come the people in F7grey
To take me C7away
[Solo]
C7 F7 C7
Here G7come the people in F7grey
To take me C7away
[Verse 4]
The C7people in grey have gone and taken away
My right to voice my complaint
Her F7Majesty's Government have sent me a form
I must coC7mplete it today
But it's G7making me blue
Don't wanna F7tell all my secrets to
The C7people in grey
[Chorus]
Gonna C7pass me a brand new resolution
Gonna fight me a one man revolution, someF7way
Gonna start my rebellion toC7day
But G7here come the people in F7grey
To take me C7away
[Outro]
C7Oh, F7Lord, those people in C7grey
I gotta F7get back at those people in C7grey**
G7Here come the people in F7grey
To take me C7away

** In the recorded version I linked to, there
are a couple of extra words in this line that
I cannot make out and which also do not appear
in any of the published lyrics that I've found.
