Verse 1:
A minorAm                   FF
I'd like to say I'm proud to be British but I'm not
A minorAm                   FF
Well I love the town I come from and the place that I grew up
G+G                 E minorEm
Most of the people have good things to say
A minorAm          FF      G+G
But they've given up trying to be heard


Verse 2:
A minorAm                   FF
I've been reading John Pilger in the Morning Star
A minorAm                   FF
It doesn't matter where you're from but who you are
G+G                 E minorEm
And I can't be proud of a country that's causing pain
A minorAm        FF      G+G
And we've done it again and again

Chorus:
 C majorC      A minorAm       FF     G+G       C majorC
I love our rivers love our coastline what's left of our green
 C majorC      A minorAm       FF     G+G       C majorC
But I won't wear the Union Jack or sing God Save The Queen

Verse 3:
A minorAm                   FF
I'd like to say I'm proud to be human but I'm not
A minorAm                   FF
'Cause all that we discover we destroy
G+G                   E minorEm
And I know if we found life on Mars we'd take that too
A minorAm      FF     G+G
And we do it again and again

Verse 4:
A minorAm                   FF
I'd like to say I'm proud to be British but I'm not
A minorAm              FF
But I love the town I live in now
G+G              E minorEm
Most of the people have good things to say
      A minorAm     FF     G+G
But they've given up trying to be heard

Chorus:
 C majorC      A minorAm      FF        G+G      C majorC
I love our rivers love our coastline what's left of our green
 C majorC      A minorAm       FF      G+G       C majorC
But I won't wear the Union Jack or sing God Save The Queen
 C majorC      A minorAm      FF      G+G       C majorC
I love our rivers love our coastline what's left of our green
 C majorC       A minorAm      FF     G+G      C majorC
But I won't wear the Union Jack or sing God Save The Queen
