Author's Note - You can play the F G Gm F progression as bar chords. But I think it
sounds better as such:
F G Gm F
e|-1--3--3--1-----|
B|-1--3--3--1-----|
G|-2--4--3--2-----|
D|-3--5--5--3-----|

[Intro]
F G Gm F F G Gm F
F G Gm F F G Gm F
[Verse 1]
F G Gm F
Poor britannia, drowning in your waves
F G Gm F
With the body of the unknown soldier, and the best of the brave
Dm Am Bb F
I have known you ever since I was a child
Am Dm Bb C
How come you don't salute me now when I smile
[Verse 2]
F G Gm F
You was always so young, and on all o' that money
F G Gm F
How come new mourners pass you by and think it's so funny
Dm Am Bb F
I'd be there with you but I'm chained unto this stake
Am Dm Bb C F
For I am loyalty but my mast I cannot forsake
F G Gm F F G Gm F
[Verse 3]
F G Gm F
I looked down on a bunch of amusements, I looked down walls
F G Gm F
I've looked on hangings 'n parades 'n city halls
Dm Am Bb F
And I've seen love in so many living rooms
Am Dm Bb F
And I've seen rich men slowly die inside their tombs
[Bridge]
C Dm G C
I know we're just two charms but it's heavy on my mind
Am Dm Bb C
Have faith in me I said, now, look at time
C Dm G C
I know you're just a victim of your history
Am Dm Bb
Trust in me, I said and, you would be free
F G Gm F F G Gm F
[Verse 4]
F G Gm F
You pull me up, and you pull me down
F G Gm F
And when the queen's in residence, I hang around
Dm Am Bb F
I don't wave madly 'cos the climate's civilised
Am Dm Bb C
Just flutter sadly 'cos I'm, old 'n I'm wise
[Verse 5]
F G Gm F
And you, you been up, and you, you been down
F G Gm F
You been through many things I know you been around
Dm Am Bb F
I have fought armies for you in the, conflicts of the past
Am Dm Bb C F
Britannia, I implore you, do not lower me by half
