C minorCm   G minorGm Bb majorBb
C minorCm

Verse 1:
    C minorCm                 Bb majorBb       C minorCm
They're gnawin' at the moorland and they're nibblin' at the shore
    C minorCm                  Bb majorBb         C minorCm
There's scarce a week goes by without they've cornered something more
  C minorCm                     G minorGm   Bb majorBb  C minorCm
It seems they've heard the proverb and they're taking its advice
   C minorCm                Bb majorBb      C minorCm
If a loaf's already cut who's going to miss another slice

Chorus:
   C minorCm                 Bb majorBb      C minorCm
If we did to their daughters what they're doing to our land
   C minorCm              Bb majorBb        C minorCm
Every barricade in Bumbledom would bloomin' soon be manned
  C minorCm                G minorGm    Bb majorBb   C minorCm
And every dad in Whitehall would come marching gun in hand
   C minorCm                 Bb majorBb      C minorCm
If we did to their daughters what they're doing to our land

Interlude:
C minorCm   G minorGm Bb majorBb
C minorCm   G minorGm Bb majorBb
C minorCm

Verse 2:
C minorCm                 Bb majorBb       C minorCm
Some men poach with rotted line and some men with a snare
  C minorCm               Bb majorBb       C minorCm
But others do their poaching from a leather covered chair
  C minorCm               G minorGm    Bb majorBb  C minorCm
The gamekeeper is on their side likewise the legal men
    C minorCm                  Bb majorBb       C minorCm
And the squire he shrugs his shoulders in the halls of Number 10

Chorus:
   C minorCm                 Bb majorBb      C minorCm
If we did to their daughters what they're doing to our land
   C minorCm              Bb majorBb        C minorCm
Every barricade in Bumbledom would bloomin' soon be manned
  C minorCm                G minorGm    Bb majorBb   C minorCm
And every dad in Whitehall would come marching gun in hand
   C minorCm                 Bb majorBb      C minorCm
If we did to their daughters what they're doing to our land

Interlude:
C minorCm   G minorGm Bb majorBb

Verse 3:
C minorCm              Bb majorBb      C minorCm
Make a mark upon that map, we mustn't be delayed
  C minorCm                  Bb majorBb       C minorCm
And pass across that rubber stamp there's progress to be made
  C minorCm                 G minorGm   Bb majorBb    C minorCm
To hell with those petitions, we've no time to read 'em all
   C minorCm                Bb majorBb       C minorCm
Just pack 'em up and stack 'em in the toilet down the hall

Chorus:
   C minorCm                 Bb majorBb      C minorCm
If we did to their daughters what they're doing to our land
   C minorCm              Bb majorBb        C minorCm
Every barricade in Bumbledom would bloomin' soon be manned
  C minorCm                G minorGm    Bb majorBb   C minorCm

   C minorCm                 Bb majorBb      C minorCm
If we did to their daughters what they're doing to our land

Verse 4:
    C minorCm                Bb majorBb        C minorCm
There's twenty miles of shoreline in the town where I was born
  C minorCm               Bb majorBb       C minorCm
But I won't walk around it 'til the willow bears a thorn
    C minorCm                G minorGm   Bb majorBb   C minorCm
They've left us scarce a quarter where a man can wander free
       C minorCm             Bb majorBb       C minorCm
Yes, there's water, water everywhere but not for you and me

Chorus:
   C minorCm                 Bb majorBb      C minorCm
If we did to their daughters what they're doing to our land
   C minorCm              Bb majorBb        C minorCm
Every barricade in Bumbledom would bloomin' soon be manned
  C minorCm                G minorGm    Bb majorBb   C minorCm
And every dad in Whitehall would come marching gun in hand

Verse 5:
  C minorCm                Bb majorBb       C minorCm
The wealth of Britain seems to need a smoke infested sky
  C minorCm                  Bb majorBb       C minorCm
You can't have gold without the grime has always been the cry
  C minorCm              G minorGm   Bb majorBb  C minorCm
But I once met a country chap who opened up my eyes
  C minorCm                  Bb majorBb        C minorCm
The piggery's just as clean, he said, as him who tends the sty

Chorus:
   C minorCm                 Bb majorBb      C minorCm
If we did to their daughters what they're doing to our land
   C minorCm              Bb majorBb        C minorCm
Every barricade in Bumbledom would bloomin' soon be manned
  C minorCm                G minorGm    Bb majorBb   C minorCm

     C minorCm                 Bb majorBb       C minorCm
When our children come to curse us won't we all deserve our share
   C minorCm             Bb majorBb      C minorCm
If we leave them with a legacy of diesel laden air
   C minorCm                   G minorGm   Bb majorBb    C minorCm
Don't pass your rucksacks on to them, they'll have nowhere to hike
      C minorCm              Bb majorBb         C minorCm
And they'll put on our old videos just to see what trees were like

Chorus:
   C minorCm                 Bb majorBb      C minorCm
If we did to their daughters what they're doing to our land
