...WHAT DO YOU DO?... by The Proclaimers
---------------------...................
*from 'Sunshine on Leith' (1988)*
Intro:
G G7 C Cm, G D7 C
Verse 1:
G G7
Yeah, I know you're right, I see it in your fierce eyes.
C Cm
But me I've never thought straight, since the day I had the first doubt.
G D7
Yes, I know you're right, and I'll back you to a point, pal.
C G
But I'll never be constrained by, a-nother man's ideas now.
Verse 2:
G G7
I spent too long on this road, looking for the answers,
C Cm
But poverty and failure, aren't what I'm after.
G D7
I painted "fight" on factories, but they closed the factory down, pal.
C G
I want to find out where the heart's gone, find out where the nerves gone.
Chorus 1:
D C G
What do you do, when de-mocracy fails you?
B7 C G
Ah, ah, ah, ah.
D C G
What do you do, when the rest can't see it's true?
B7 C G
Ah, ah, ah, ah.
Verse 3:
G G7
Pat votes the Scots way, just like her mother,
C Cm
But south always takes all; just like her brother.
G D7
The next time she might vote; so might the others,
C G
But time's running out, pal, 'cos they're giving up in numbers.
Chorus 2:
D C G
What do you do, when de-mocracy's all through?
B7 C G
Ah, ah, ah, ah.
D C G
What do you do, when mi-nority means you?
B7 C G
Ah, ah, ah, ah.
