Enough Is Enough chords by Peggy Seeger
Verse 1
D
Bm
D
Something
always
keeps you scurrying
G
With problems and with worrying
A
D
There's additives in the fittles
E
A
And there's poisons in the air
G
A
There's kids with problem parents
And you can't imagine
B
Where you'll get the money
To pay the bills
You're getting old, getting fat
Behind the Joneses
Lost your job and a top batch
E
A
You've got no matches for the gas
G
F#m
Your head is always aching
A
D
And the earth is always quaking
A
And the kids are runnin' wild
E
Cuts, cuts, more cuts
Cholesterol, a national front
Traffic jams, a neutron bomb
Afghanistan is rainin' on your holidays
A
And still you try to smile
G
A
Deficits and overflows
B
A
The hurdles and the undertoes
D
Bm
Have we got enough without
E
A
The nuclear sideshow?
D
Every time you turn around
G
You're shellin' out another pound
A
D
The mortgage, the petrol
E
A
The insurance and the rent
A flutter on the pools
This could be a ruinous event
B
B -A -T -P -A -Y -E -E -E -C
Alimony by 83 will be on our knees
And the Portuguese will
E
A
send us foreign aid
G
A
You pay to read the news about inflation
D
And the nation doesn't
A
buy the kids their shoes
E
Kirby grips a kitty cat,
a drop of booze
And little things like clothes,
food, heat, light, rates
And your Mediterranean cruise
A
Plenty of ways to lose your pence
Bm
A
From dire need to extravagance
D
Haven't we got enough without
E
A
the nuclear expenses?
D
Everything without a doubt
G
A
is wearing thin and wearing out
D
Ebdim
Gas and oil are given out,
E
A
the pop runs out of beer
G
A
Your teeth are full of fillings
and the peace talks disappear
D
B
Along with the strike negotiations,
relations with your relations
Cities crumbled
Bb
E
A
and there's holes in all the sheets
G
F#m
Your marriage needs repairing,
A
lots of truncheons
D
Wearing out with hidden folks
A
D
between the ears
A
E
Broken -down machines
combine to wear you down
A
more than the passing of your years
Whatever it is that's getting you down
B
A
by breaking up and breaking down
D
Haven't we got enough
E
A
without a nuclear meltdown?
D
The finest plans of men and mice of
G
A
ten don't turn out so nice
D
The little mite, the microwave,
E
A
the bridge across the Tay
Getting married can be great
D
until the second day
A
B
DC -10s again and again,
DDT, Rolling Point, Concord
Join the army,
E
A
don't forget your dolk on shield
G
A
There's junctions like spaghetti
D
and we elect the Iron Lady
A
And the B -man in the suit,
E
Agent Orange
Mini Metro, Maxi Hindenburg
They even built a hospital
with an enema room without a
A
E
loo
A
Longadoodledoo
G
A
Guinea pigs of every nation,
Bm
B
A
let's announce our abdication
D
Haven't we had enough
E
without a nuclear miss?
A miss is who?
A
Calculation
D
You can die of suffocation
G
or go up in a conflagration
A
D
If you find the transportation
E
A
you can die among the wheels
G
There's drowning,
A
falling down the stairs
and choking on your meals
B
Cigarettes and drugs or guns
and clubs and knives
In the hands of thugs and mugs
E
A
of husbands an d their wives
G
A
There's suicide and cancer
D
or there's falling off a cliff
A
Or just an overdose of flu
E
Dying of shock on budget day,
drinking all your cares away
Cholera, diphtheria, hysteria,
or snakebite
A
in the jungles of Peru
Plenty of ways of getting faster
Bm
A
to the day you breathe your last
D
Oh, Ham, we got enough
E
A
D
without a nuclear disaster
All the things you like to do,
G
the very things you'd hate to lose
D
Sons and lovers, wife and kids,
E
A
the smell of treacle tart
West Ham winning at home,
we're dabbling in the arts
B
Bacon and egg,
and bacon and egg,
and bacon and egg,
and books, flowers, clouds
Garden men and fishin',
sleepin' in and wishin' you was winning
E
A
The bonds are simply gazing into space
G
D
A
Once upon a time a loaf of bread,
a double bed,
D
A
a glass of wine, my love and you
E
I've even heard it said
that women get their kicks
from watching little heartbeat
A
soldiers marching down the loo
E
A
Doo -da -loo -da -loo
All the good things that attract you,
B
Bm
A
don't forget that it's a fact
D
that all of it could be lost
E
A
because of a nuclear reactor.
D
There's answers everywhere you look,
G
A
they could be in the holy book.
D
There's power in the wind and water,
E
A
power from the sun.
G
A
There's energy from outer space,
D
from now to kingdom come.
B
Insulation, conservation,
control the population,
make McDonald's with a soybean.
And all things geothermal,
they're infernal,
E
A
cause no profits can be made.
G
A
Of course we could share out the wealth,
D
but some will say it'd ruin their health.
A
They'd have to go by
E
train or by cycling.
And recycling all the plastic
and the glass,
the news of the world, the metals,
and the nasty biodegradable things
A
that live down in the drains.
A
There's reforming of
our institutions,
B
A
maybe a little re volution.
D
A
Just remember that the nuclear way
A
D
may any day turn out to be
A
D
a very final solution.
you
