Verse 1: Bm Em Take a look round lively old London Bm F#m Buzzing crowds we sweat and we revel, Em F#m Red-cheeked shouts and songs Bm Bm/A In the flicker of the gaslight. Bm Em Eager Blighty bursts from the cobblestones
Bm F#m Racing, climbing, blooming fertility Em F#m Bm Born from secret seeds that were scattered in the night time. Chorus: Bm F#m London is fed upon the meat of the dead. Em F#m They're one shallow inch below the town. Em Bm F#m Bm Underground underground leave them underground. Verse 2: Bm Em Them that whispered dreams that only poisoned us Bm F#m Them that told us lies of their bravery Em F#m Bm Bm/A Them that preached of progress and put us in the poorhouse. Bm Em Them done horrid murder on bloody stages Bm F#m Them that loudly crowed their humility Em F#m Bm Lords and dames that sung in the chapels on a Sunday Chorus: Bm F#m All quiet now their mouths are stopped by mud Em F#m They lie flung in rags and make no sound. Em Bm F#m Bm Underground underground leave them underground. Instrumental: D A Em G A Bm Outtro: D Those who fought for something better A Em Those who taught by how they lived.
