Biografia:
Three bands have performed and recorded under the name "Show of Hands".
1) Show Of Hands are England's most successful acoustic roots duo - Steve Knightley and Phil Beer. Their widespread appeal is based on the combined power of Steve's original songs, the quality of their vocals and harmonies, and their multi-instrumental virtuosity.

"Country Life"
by Show of Hands
Transcribed by Chris Parker
Em G C
Working in the rain cutting down wood
G D
Didn't do my little brother much good
Em G C
Lost two fingers in a chainsaw bite
G D
All he does now is drink and fight
C D G
Sells a bit of grass hots up cars
Am G C
Talks of travel never gets far
C D G
Loves his kids left his wife
Am G C
An everyday story of country life
Em G C
And the red brick cottage where I was born
G D
Is the empty shell of a holiday home
Em G C
Most of the year there's no-one there
G D
The village is dead and they don't care
C D G
Now we live on the edge of town
Am G C
Haven't been back since the pub closed down
C D G
One man's family pays the price
Am G C C
FOr another man's vision of country life
C Em C D
I'm singing oooooooh oh ooh
Em C D
oooooooh oh ooh...
Em G C
My old man is eighty four
G D
His generation won the war
Em G C
He left the farm forever when
G D
They only kept on one in ten
C D G
Landed gentry county snobs
Am G C
Where were you when they lost their jobs
C D G
No-one marched or subsidised
Am G C
To save a country way of life
Em
Silent fields empty lanes
Drifting smoke distant flames
Picture postcard hills on fire
Cattle burning in funeral pyres
C D G
Out to graze they look so sweet
Am G C
We hate the blood we want the meat
C D G
Buy me a beer I'll take my knife
Am G C C
Cut you a slice of country life
C Em C D
I'm singing oooooooh oh ooh
Em C D
oooooooh oh ooh...
Em C
If you want cheap food well here's the deal
D
Family farms are brought to heel
Em C
Hammer blows of size and scale
D
Foot and mouth the final nail
Em C
The coffin of our English dream
D
Lies out on the village green
Em C
While agri-barons CAP in hand
D
Strip this green and pleasant land
Em C
Of meadow, woodland, hedgerow, pond
D
What remains gets built upon
Em C
No trains, No jobs
D
No shops, no pubs
Em C D
What went wrong
D Em C D
Country life Country life
N/A Em
It's a little bit of country life
