The Banner Man Chords by Blue Mink

The Banner Man chords by Blue Mink

Guitar chords with lyrics

No 3 in the UK charts in 1971.
Capo on 3 for correct key = F. Not too sure I've got the B G# A F# in the chorus correct
so any suggestions welcome.


Verse 1
      D
So we waved our hands as we marched along
        G
And the people smiled as we sang our song
        D                                       C
And the world was saved as they listened to the band

And the banner man held the banner high
       G
He was ten feet tall and he touched the sky
      Am                D           G
And I wish that I could be a banner man

Verse 2
        D
And the drums went boom as the cornets play
        G
And the tuba oomphard all the way
        D                                       C
And the kids and the dogs were laughing as they ran

And the banner man held the banner high
        G
With an Alleluiah in his eye
      Am                D           G   G
And I wish that I could be a banner man


Chorus
G           C     D             G
Glory glory glory listen to the band
                   C     D                  B    G#
Sing that same old story ain't it something grand
                  A  F#             G   G
To be good as you can like a banner man


Verse 3
      D
So we reached the square on the top of the hill
        G
And the music stopped and we stood still
      D                                  C
And a few were saved and the people said Amen

Then we all got up and we formed a queue
        G
And the drums went bang as the trumpets blew
       Am                  D             G
And we marched back down into the town again


Chorus
G           C     D             G
Glory glory glory listen to the band
                   C     D                  B    G#
Sing that same old story ain't it something grand
                  A  F#             G   G
To be good as you can like a banner man
