Verse 1
Db
Heavenly Father,
could you hear the prayers I offer You today?
Ab
Some of the people in the parish have been
asking me to pray for them
Bbm
They have no strength to help themselves,
they need help fending for themselves
Gb
And we do all we can do,
but there's so little that we can do
Verse 2
Db
And this is the worst winter I know of,
even worse than last
Ab
The snow has stayed for too long on the ground,
and for the second year around now
Bbm
All across our little island,
we give all our sweat and toil
Gb
And still, the crops,
they have all rotted in the soil
Verse 3
Ab
And all along the western seaboard,
they await with open hands
Gb
For something to feed their children
or a ship to foreign lands
Ab
But there's nothing here to give them,
except for chicken feed and sand
Bbm
While Britannia rules the roost
Gb
with Ire land hands
Verse 4
Ebm
Lord, what can we do now? Oh, good Lord,
what can we do
Eb
Ab
When we need to feed so many,
and there's not even for the few?
Ebm
Lord, what can we do now? Lord,
what can we do?
Eb
Ab
They are starving, they are freezing
And their clothes have all worn
Bbm
through

Verse 5
Db
Heav enly Father,
Your people need You more than ever now
Ab
It's such a desperate situation that
the nation's in somehow
Bbm
I can't see many pulling through,
'cause even if we had the food to feed them
Gb
Many have disease, Lord,
I hope You hear our pleas
Verse 6
Db
They are scattered by the roadside,
in the towns and in the fields
Ab
And there's not even food to work for,
never mind beg, lend or steal
Bbm
And if we go by the predictions,
with starvation and eviction
Gb
Some two million will be dead
before we're through
Verse 7
Ab
Still, all along the western seaboard,
they all wait with open hands
Gb
For something to feed their children or
a ship to foreign lands
Ab
But there's nothing here to give them,
except for chicken feed and sand
Bbm
While Britannia rules the roost
Gb
