Verse 1:

    A
It's a long walk to the gallows

    D
It's a small step to swing free

A
The crying in the tower

     D
For my conspirators and me

A
Gunpowder and modem

   D
And a dream of liberty

         E
And then they'll tell you

         D
Don't try this at home

        E
Oh yes, they'll tell you

Don't try this at home

Verse 2:

    A
If you walk on the beach with King Canute

     D
You'll be walking back alone

 A
Tonight he'll dine on oysters

     D
While we fall like green acorns

     A
We'll be putting down our roots

       D
Right in the centre of the storm

        E
Oh, but they'll tell you

         D
Don't try this at home

        E
Oh yes, they'll tell you

         D
Don't try this at home

Bridge:

      Bm        F#m
The cry of gulls, the hum of streets

The buzz of phones, the march of feet

       Bm        F#m
We'll meet tonight to draw up plans

Exclamations, ampersands

Verse 3:

A
Somewhere across the water

    D
They're storming palace gates

A
Scared of the moth-flame metaphor

  D
We fall asleep and wait

A
Singing for a future

    D
But the chorus comes too late

        E
Because they'll tell you

         D
Don't try this at home

        E
Oh yes, they'll tell you

         D
Don't try this at home
