Ne Plus Ultra chords by Ted Egan

Verse 1
Nay, (G major) plus ultra. No Fog (C major) Island. No (F major) worse.
There is none here (C major) on Earth.
The only thing (G major) you can be
(C major) sure of.
(F major) You'll be flabbed at No Fog (G major) Island
for all (C major) their worth.
You might get (G major) three hundred
lashes (C major) (F major) at Northrop,
they know how to flaw. (C major)
Then they'll (G major) cut you dead and salt (C major) you
Or they (F major) surely wouldn't do
(G major) that to a mad (F major) (C major) dog
For the (G major) triangles are ready, waiting
And the (C major) scourge is there, salivating
Ready to strip the flesh
from off your (G major) frames
And (C major) every Norfolk lag
Knows the (F major) crank mill and the gag
Or you're (G major) only a statistic,
a (F major) pawn (G major) in England's (C major) games
You might well (G major) hurt North Oak Is (C major) land
(F major) Be appointed killer of (C major) your mate
So you can (G major) be Santa Sid (C major) ney,
swinging from (F major) the head that rope (G major) is
Much the better fate (C major) when
you get (G major) to La Boca (C major) Land,
(F major) you might worry that you won't survive,
(C major) but when price (G major) has finished flog (C major) ging,
you will only (F major) feel (G major) despondent
that you are (F major) still alive. (C major)
For the (G major) Triangles are ready,
waiting and (C major) the Scourge is there, salivating,
ready to strip the flesh
from off your (G major) frames.
And (C major) every Norfolk lag
knows the (F major) crank mill and the gag,
for (G major) you're only a statistic,
a (F major) pawn in (G major) England's games.
(C major) Dante wrote of (G major) Hell's Inferno
(C major) But (F major) his view of torment was remis (C major) s
For there's never (G major) been a cistern (C major)
No, there's nev (F major) er been a (G major) cistern
As barbar (F major) ous as (C major) this
cursed fungal (G major)
And flogger -fines (C major) (F major) Morrison and
Anderson as well (C major)
Curse their mas (G major) ters
Back in England (C major)
For (F major) they surely all deserve (G major) to
Burn in (F major) bloody hell (C major)
For the (G major) triangles are ready
Waiting in (C major) the surges there
Salivating, ready to strip the flesh
from off your (G major) frames
And (C major) every norfolk lad
Knows the (F major) crank mill lad and the gag
For (G major) you're only a statistic
A (F major) pawn (G major) in England's (C major) game,
named last of all. (G major)
No man (C major) can end, no (F major) worse.
There is none (G major) here on (C major) earth. (G major)
