B6 C#m

Pack up what you own,

B6 C#m

and you dial up who you can phone,

D#m C#m

and you save up all your pennies,

D#m C#m

and we hope but, oh -- is there any --

D#m C#m E6

and we wonder, oh, how can he put you out tonight?

B5 C#5

Go back in your mind,

B5 C#5

twenty years in time,

D#m C#m

and we’ll go a-walking through your garden;

D#m C#m

see the trees you planted in your yard then.

D#m C#m

All your work, it didn’t seem so hard then,

but it’s hard tonight.

B5 C#5

Five years further on,

B5 C#5

from the stage it looked like we’d won,

D#m C#m

but how many of those who heard you play

D#m C#m

have gone their insouciant ways?

D#m C#m

And the streets run bloody to this day,

and to your house tonight.

D#m C#m

And we, still so touched,

D#m C#m

can we offer you that much

D#m C#m

more than those who you fought

D#m C#m

and who left you with nought,

E6 D#m

and who lied to you?

E6 D#m

They lied to you

E6 D#m

but this you always knew.

B6 C#m

So pack up your bulls and smalls,

B6 C#m

and we’ll tack up your painting on our walls,

D#m C#m

and we’ll write down all our songs then,

D#m C#m

and we’ll right up all our wrongs then,

D#m C#m

and we’ll tear up the streets a million strong then,

in your name tonight.
