When prices keep on rising
Verse 1
D
and your backs are to the wall
G
D
And the kids are needing clothing
A
an d you lack the wherewithal
When economic crisis
D
A
grabs the country by the earholes,
G
That's the time to
D
A
rally round your leaders.
D
For the leaders of the nation,
the Employers' Federation,
E
They know all the answers
A
and the Institute of Bankers
D
Know a way to save the day.
A
D
A
You've only got to sacrifice your pay.
D
A
When miners start demanding
D
astronomical amounts
G
D
To swell their private fortunes
E
A
in their numbered Swiss accounts.
Each then you'll hear the
mighty voice
D
of Westminster announce
G
D
A
Forward to the pits to get the coal

Dm
Gm
Dm
A
out!
D
Chaps with bowlers, umbrellas,
Monday clubbers,
Splendid fellas,
E
ministers and royal pages
A
And they're not here for the
D
wages but because
A
D
The time has come,
A
to show the miners
D
A
how it should be done.
D
A
When money -grubbin' building
D
workers vote to go on strike,
G
A
And brutal pickets interfere
E
A
with honest blacklegs' rights,
It's then that loyal Britishers
D
are called upon to fight,
G
D
To defend free enterprise
A
and law and order.
D
Cops and TV commentators,
lawyers, building speculators,
E
Magistrates and judges,
A
scabs who are paying off their grudges,
D
A
D
A
use the law. It has no flaw.
To serve their interests,
D
that is what it's for.
A
When disaffected mums and dads
D
begin to bawl and shout,
G
D
Insisting that our education
E
A
system's up the spout,
E
A
Remember Maggie Thatcher's there
D
and she knows all about
G
D
A
D
Everything concerning education
For she knows that kids and workers
are just layabouts and shirkers
E
To teach them would be folly
A
and an utter waste of lolly
D
A
Waste of time, save the dough
They're here to work,
that's all they need to know
D
A
So just remember
D
when you feel inclined to criticise
G
D
It's not for you to question
E
A
or to ask the reason why
D
A
Close your mouth and go on grafting
D
till the day you die
G
And win the thanks
D
A
of those who own the nation
D
They will con you, they'll mislead you,
they will rob you, they will bleed you
E
With a smile they'll freeze
your wages,
A
kill you off by easy stages
D
A
D
A
Till the day you pull the chain
And flush the whole caboodle
down the drain you

Well-Designed App
Rose the Black Cat
“I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.”
Got me back into playing
Tuliketsune
“I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂”
Secret weapon
Brad
“Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!”
Very reliable tuner

“This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!”
This is the best guitar tuner ever.
Caleb Schafli
“It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.”
