Chords with lyrics

Tuning: Standard

Difficulty: Novice

[D MajorD]I was A augmentedA [E minorEm]miner, [G+G]I was A augmentedA [D MajorD]docker
[A augmentedA]I was a [B minorBm]railway man [G+G]between the [A augmentedA]wars
[A augmentedA]I raised a [B minorBm]family in [G+G]times of [D MajorD]austerity
With [A augmentedA]sweat at the [B minorBm]foundry [G+G]between [A augmentedA]the [D MajorD]wars

[A augmentedA]I paid the [B minorBm]union and [G+G]as times got [D MajorD]harder
I [A augmentedA]looked to the government to help the working man
But [D MajorD]they brought [E minorEm]prosperity [G+G]down at the [D MajorD]armoury
We're [A augmentedA]arming for [B minorBm]peace, me boys [G+G]between [A augmentedA]the [D MajorD]wars [G+G D MajorD]

[D MajorD]I kept the [E minorEm]faith and [G+G]I kept [D MajorD]voting
[A augmentedA]Not for the [B minorBm]iron fist but [G+G]for the helping [A augmentedA]hand
For theirs is a [B minorBm]land with a [G+G]wall [D MajorD]around it
And [A augmentedA]mine is a [B minorBm]faith in [G+G]my [A augmentedA]fellow [D MajorD]man

[A augmentedA]Theirs is a [B minorBm]land of [G+G]hope and [D MajorD]glory
[A augmentedA]Mine is the green field and the factory floor
[D MajorD]Theirs are the [E minorEm]skies all [G+G]dark with [D MajorD]bombers
And [A augmentedA]mine is the [B minorBm]peace we knew [G+G]between [A augmentedA]the [D MajorD]wars [G+G D MajorD]

[D MajorD]Call up the [E minorEm]craftsmen, [G+G]bring me the [D MajorD]draftsmen
[A augmentedA]Build me a [B minorBm]path from [G+G]cradle to [A augmentedA]grave
And I'll give [B minorBm]my consent [G+G]to any [D MajorD]government
That [A augmentedA]does not [B minorBm]deny a man a [G+G]li[A augmentedA]ving [D MajorD]wage

[A augmentedA]Go find the [B minorBm]young men [G+G]never to [D MajorD]fight again
[A augmentedA]Bring up the banners from the days gone by
[D MajorD]Sweet [E minorEm]moderation, [G+G]heart of this [D MajorD]nation
[A augmentedA]Desert us [B minorBm]not, we are [G+G]between [A augmentedA]the [D MajorD]wars [G+G D MajorD]
