The Big Issue - Chumbawamba

Intro:
(acapella, with underlying chords)
     G+G        A augmentedA
There are those spend the night
   C majorC
Under bridges over by the river
G+G      A augmentedA        C majorC
Down in the park through the winter
       G+G      A augmentedA
But there's a house that I know
    C majorC
Safe and warm and no one ever goes there
G+G       A augmentedA         C majorC
Down where the priests Bless the wine

Verse 1:
G+G C majorC
She's been born into the wrong time
G+G C majorC
She keeps nonsense on her mind
G+G C majorC
She's a poet, she's a builder
G+G C majorC
She's as bored as bored can be
G+G C majorC
She's a have not, she's a know all
G+G C majorC
She knows just how to say yes
G+G C majorC
She's skating frozen chaos
G+G C majorC
'Til the no good gods are dead

Pre-Chorus 1:
G+G    A augmentedA               C majorC
   But sometimes in the dead of night
              G+G
Woken by the city lights
  A augmentedA           C majorC
She wonders how she keeps alive...

Chorus:
G+G          A augmentedA
This is the girl who lost the house which
C majorC
Came to the man who put up the rent and
G+G           A augmentedA           C majorC
Threw out the girl to Feather his own sweet home

Verse 2:
G+G C majorC
She's a clueless social climber
G+G C majorC
Likes the wrong side of the bed
G+G C majorC
She's a pick-me-up and she's a drink-to-me
G+G C majorC
In the company of friends
G+G C majorC
She's tried every variation
G+G C majorC
She's so common, she's so cold
G+G C majorC
She's homesick for a future
G+G C majorC
Can't stomach what she's told

Pre-Chorus 2:
G+G    A augmentedA           C majorC
   On every street in every town
            G+G
All her days are up and down
  A augmentedA            C majorC
At home among the lost-and-founds...

Chorus:
G+G          A augmentedA
This is the girl who lost the house which
C majorC
Came to the man who put up the rent and
G+G           A augmentedA           C majorC
Threw out the girl to Feather his own sweet home
