Intro 1
(A major) (D minor) (G major) (C sharpdim) (G major)
(C major) (E major) (A minor) (E major) (A minor)
(E major)
The (A minor) hands that fit a golf club will
Verse 1
(D minor)
also fit a hole,
and (E major) between me and you a billiard
cue never (A minor) won a war, you know.
But a couple of barrels of turnips
to (D minor) have on hand in the fall
will (E major) do a heck of a lot more good
than a (A minor) silver cup on the wall.
Oh don't think I'm
(B flat major) preaching a ser (A major) mon,
cause (D major) I'm just as bad as you.
But it's (G major) time we had some
darn plain talk
(C major) cause we got a job to do.
We (A minor) bet ter wake up and get to work
while we (F major) still got a (D minor) home to protect,
or (E major) we'll all be doing the goose step
with (A minor) a rope (F major) around our neck. (A minor)
(A major) Hey, hey, (D minor) what are we going to do?
(G major) Hey, hey, it's (C major) up to (G major) me and (C major) you. (B flatdim)
(A major) Hey, hey,
here's something to think over (D minor) twice,
if we don't get (G major) busy and (C sharpdim) win this (A major) war,
(G major) we'll all be living on (C major) rice. (E major) (A minor) (E major) (A minor)
(E major) The (A minor) hands that rocked the cradle,
not (D minor) too many years ago,
are (E major) working 24 hours a day
for (A minor) Wil lie and (F major) Jimmy and (A minor) Joe.
Those boys are still her babies,
(D minor) don't think she'll ever forget
what (E major) Winston Churchill (C sharp minor) told us
(E major) all about (A major) tears and (F major) toil and (A minor) sweat.
Us guys who are (B flat major) always (A major) complaining,
what (D major) are we, men or mice?
(G major) What did we ever have to give up
to (C major) compare to her sacrifice?
(A minor) Ever hear her squawking
about a (F major) spare tire (D minor) for the car?
If (E major) it's inspiration we're needing,
we don't have to (F major) look very (A minor) far.
(A major) Hey, hey, (D minor) pull up our belts and grunt.
(G major) Hey, hey, it's (C major) work and not talk we want. (B flat major)
(A major) Hey, hey, we've (D minor) all been
asleep at the switch.
And now we've (C major) got more
(A major) scratching to (G major) do
than a guy with a seven -year
(C major) itch. (A minor) (E major) (A minor)
(E major) A (A minor) lot of us guys who criticize the
(F major) men in Wash (D minor) ington,
suppose (E major) it was us a -runnin' the show,
I (A minor) won der what (F major) we would have (A minor) done.
If nobody ever made a mistake,
in (F major) peacetime (D minor) or in war,
there'd (E major) be no need for that rubber man
around (A minor) the (F major) cuspidor.
(A minor) The (C major) hands of our (B flat major) boys out (A major) yonder
can (D major) only be filled by us,
Are (G major) we lettin' them down
while we sit around
and (C major) squabble and squawk and fuss?
They're (A minor) givin' their lives for you and me.
All (D minor) right, men, let's be fair.
How (E major) much are they gettin'
for what they give?
And (A minor) how do our (F major) wages com (A minor) pare?
(A major) Hey, hey, we've all got (D minor) a duty to do.
(G major) Hey, hey, (C major) labor and capital, too. (B flat major)
(A major) Hey, hey, there'll (D minor) be no profit and loss,
and there'll be no five o 'clock whistle to
Blow if we (G major) work for a Nazi, (C major) boss.
