National Treasure chords by Paul Heaton

• Difficulty: Beginner 👶

Intro:

C#
  Our country drags heels
           A#m
And always they scuff
C#                                           C#m     C#
Most nations like ours need fools for their heroes


Verse 1:
C#
Man had a friend, a not-so-close friend
   A#m
He visited most every day
    C#
And brought him his shopping, come rain or shine
    C#                   D
And blew those cobwebs away
  C#
B  single cigarette, a 50p bet
   A#m
An old-fashioned hug for good measure
     C#
It's visiting time, like caviar and wine
C#                      D
That person's national treasure

Chorus:
                  C#
Our country drags heels
           A#m
And always they scuff
C#                                           C#m
Most nations like ours need fools for their heroes
               C#
They gaze into navels
         A#m
Removing the fluff
C#                                         C#m     C#
Every place on this еarth, they celebratе heroes


Verse 2:
C#
Doctor Who home-visits patients
A#m
24 hours, round the clock
    C#
The volunteers working in shelter
     C#                            D
They stay on their feet till they drop
C#
Nothing'd be fairer than silence of carer
      A#m
We're forfeiting personal pleasure
  C#
Unknighted, unsung, on ladder's bottom rung
    C#                    D
But all of them national treasures


Chorus:
                  C#
Our country drags heels
           A#m
And always they scuff
C#                                           C#m
Most nations like ours need fools for their heroes
               C#
They gaze into navels
         A#m
Removing the fluff
C#                                         C#m
Every place on this еarth, they celebratе heroes

C#m  C#m   D


Bridge:
    C#m
She don't wear a Rolex, she don't wear a cape
    C#m                           D
She certainly don't drive a Mark III
     C#m
He's driving a bus, he's just one of us
     C#                         D
He's them, she's you, and he's me


Out-Chorus:
                  C#
Our country drags heels
           A#m
And always they scuff
C#                                           C#m
Most nations like ours need fools for their heroes
               C#
They gaze into navels
         A#m
Removing the fluff
C#                                         C#m  C#
Every place on this еarth, they celebratе heroes
