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

                  D
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

            Bm                   F#m
The buzz of phones, the march of feet

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

     Bm            F#m     Bm F#m D E
Exclamations, ampersands

Interlude:

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
