Verse 1
If the (F major) sons of company director (C major) s
an (F major) d (G major) the judges' (D major) private daugh (F major) ters
Had to go to school in a (C major) slum (F major) school
(C major) Dumped (G major) by some (C major) joker (G major) in
a (D major) damp back (D minor) alley
(C major) Had to (F major) herd into classrooms
(D minor) cramped (C major) with worry
With a (D major) view onto (C major) slack heaps
(F major) and stagnant pools
Had to file through corridors grey with (C major) age
And play in a crackpot (F major) concrete cage
(C major) Buttons (F major) would (C major) be pressed
Rules would be broken (D minor) (C major)
(F major) Strings would be (C major) pulled
(D major) An (C major) d magic (F major) words spoken
(C major) Invisible (D major) fin (C major) gers
(F major) would (G major) mould (C major) palaces (A minor) of (C major) gold (B major)
(C major) If (F major) prime ministers and advertising
exec (C major) utives
Royal personages and bank
managers' wives
Had (F major) to live out their lives
(C major) in dank rooms
Blinded (F major) by smoke (C major) an d the
(A minor) foul air of sewer (C major) s
Rot (F major) on the (C major) walls and rat (D minor) s in (D major) the cellars
In (C major) rows of dumb houses
like (F major) mouldering (G major) tomb (F major) s
(C major) Had to bring up (F major) their children
and watch them grow
(G major) In (F major) a wasteland of dead streets
(C major) where noth (D major) ing will (C major) grow (F major)
(C major) Buttons (F major) would (C major) be pressed
Rules (F major) would (C major) be broken
String (F major) (C major) (F major) s would be (E flat major) pulled (C major)
(G major) an d magic (C major) words spoken
Invisible (F major) fingers would (G minor) mould
(C major) palaces (D minor) (A minor) of (C major) gold
I'm (F major) not suggesting
any sort of a (C major) plot
Everyone knows there's (D minor) (F major) naught
But you unborn millions
might like to be warned
If (C major) you don't want to be buried
alive
by slag heaps
Pitfalls and damp (D major) halls,
rat traps and (G major) dead street (C major) s
Ar (F major) ranged to be democratically born
The son of a company director
(C major) Or (G major) a judge's private (C major) (F major) daughter (C major)
But (F major) tons will (C major) be pressed
Rules (F major) will (C major) be broken
Strings (F major) (C major) will be pulled
and magic words spoken
Invisible (F major) fingers will (G major) mould palaces (A minor) of (B major) gold
