Capo 2

    G                C    G
Was 12 years old the last time
         C                | G | G |
But the laws have all moved on
   G                   C   G
A striking family gets nothing
    C                  | D | Dsus4 |
And even less when it's gone

       D                        Em
She'll rip the heart from this country
        C                   | Dsus4 | D |
There's nothing more to this town
     C                       G
Than bricks in the middle of nowhere
       C                     | G | G |
And a pit that She's closing down

        C                    G
You can get six cups from a tea bag
         C              | G | G |
You can grow on a window sill
       C             | G | Em |
We can eat together on Sundays
    C                 | Dsus4 | D |
To spread out the leccy bill

        C                     G
There's nothing much in this bank book
          Em                   | C | C |
But I'll stretch it as far as I can
          G                   C G
I'll show Her who's the 'Iron Lady'
     C            | G ..
I'm standing by My man

.. | G | G | G |

   G                  C     G
I always ask for the cheap cuts
       C                | G | G |
Like every house on the street
     G               C   G
It's half a pound of gristle
    C               | D | Dsus4 |
For half an ounce of meat

          D                         Em
When the kids complain that they're hungry
   G                        | Dsus4 | D |
I tell 'em we'll eat when We win
       C                  G
Then I give 'em what's on My plate
     C                         | G | G |
'Cos I'd rather starve than give in

        C                    G
You can get six cups from a tea bag
         C              | G | G |
You can grow on a window sill
       C             | G | Em |
We can eat together on Sundays
  C                   | Dsus4 | D |
To spread out the leccy bill

        C                     G
There's nothing much in this bank book
          G            Em        C
But I'll stretch it as far as I can
          G                   C G
I'll show Her who's the 'Iron Lady'
     C            | G ..
I'm standing by My man
