Intro 1
(G major) (D major) (C major) (G major) (C major) (G major)
(C major) (G major) (C major)
(D major) Dressed (G major) up in a Sunday
Verse 1
(G major)
best,
Canon
Dav (D major) is leaves the (E minor) rest. (D major)
(G major) Like last year and the year before,
The (D major)
(G major) Jew (D major) remembers what it's for
(G major) But (D major) the solemn march pro (G major) ceeds
Over (D major) pavements, over growing (C major) weeds
And (D major) everybody someday gets to see
Better days to (G major) save (D major) the least
And (A minor) the mayor's robes are
torn (D major) an d creased
And
(C major) Abra (G major) ham
(D major) Brown is whistling
Britannia (G major) (D major) (C major) (G major) (C major)
(G major) Pleasantries are much the same
So many, so little change (E minor)
(D major) No (G major) one thinks to question why
No one (D major) looks you in the eye
Passed (G major) (D major) along neglected (G major) cards
Rust (D major) ing in sub (G major) urban yards (C major)
(G major) When (D major) in ceremonial fronts
Round the village (G major) up and (D major) down
(A minor) Blessed the people, beat the (D major) battles
One
(C major) Abraham
(G major) Brown (D major) is whistling
Britannia (G major) (C major) (G major) (D major) (C major)
(D major) Paws (G major) of wild eye, nine ounce reach
For
Apep
Smith to make his (E minor) speech
(D major) For (G major) all the hatred, stoke the fiend
The (D major) (G major) same as he does (D major) every year
(G major) But (D major) then a different voice (G major) descends
From a (D major) rusted old
Mercedes (C major) -Benz
A (D major) re cord girl of twenty (C major) -one sits
(D major) laughing in the (G major) winter sun (D major)
I (A minor) hear the thickers of her (D major) farm
And
(C major) Abraham
(G major) Brown (D major) is whistling
Britannia (G major) (D major) (C major) (D major)
(G major) Sat behind the broken wheel
Soaked up, nothing left to (E minor) steal
(D major) Oakley (G major) shades upon her eyes,
oblivious to (D major) cloudy skies
(G major) Laugh (D major) ing at her own re (G major) grets,
(D major) smoking homemade cigar (C major) ettes
One (D major) man's parade is another's farce,
the
Emperor's clothes revealed (G major) at (D major) last
Our (A minor) innocence, like eaves, (D major) has passed
And
(C major) Abraham
(G major) Brown (D major) is whistling
Britanni (G major) a (D major) (C major) (G major) (D major) (C major)
(D major) The (G major) pride of man is a brutal thing
And fragile as an insect's (E minor) wing
(D major) The (G major) bubble burst, the (D major) march re (G major) sumed
A (D major) half (G major) -muttered outrage (D major) solves the wound
(G major) But (D major) as we leave I turn to (G major) see
(D major) The scourge of our soci (C major) ety
Enthroned (D major) in (G major) her auda (D major) city
A lover of cruel (G major) mockery
(D major) You think she (A minor) may be smiled (D major) at me
Whatever (C major) (G major) crown (D major) was
Whistler in
Britanni (G major) a? (C major) (G major) (D major) (C major) (G major) (D major)
(C major) (G major) (D major) (C major)
you
