Tuning: Standard (E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD G+G BB E MajorE)

Verse:
E MajorE          A augmentedA            C# minorC#m
 There is a new tradition, unfortunate but true,
            BB
Of songs that have been written on the rising cost of
E MajorE            A augmentedA              C# minorC#m
fuel. I sang one to the bailiffs, they took me for a fool,
        BB
I'm absolutely skint and my gas bill's over-
E MajorE        A augmentedA             C# minorC#m
due. Energy providers, bleed us till we're dead,
              BB
Like the homeless and the pensioners through suicide or
E MajorE               A augmentedA             C# minorC#m
debt. And I don't think it's funny, it shouldn't be the norm,
          BB
If this is our last winter, I'm gonna make it
E MajorE
warm.

Chorus:
      A augmentedA        C# minorC#m       BB
You know I love you cos the heater's on when you come round,
E MajorE     A augmentedA         C# minorC#m        BB
You know I love you when the boiler makes that funny sound,
E MajorE     A augmentedA         C# minorC#m       BB
You know I love you when the dial is red instead of blue,
E MajorE     A augmentedA         C# minorC#m      BB
You know I love you cos I'll always pop the heating on for you.


Verse:
E MajorE        A augmentedA             C# minorC#m
 Another savage winter, right outside the door,
     BB
...: Siberia, in nineteen-eighty-
E MajorE         A augmentedA              C# minorC#m
four. Given into frostbite, I can't take much more
         BB
Or the draft excluders or ...:


Chorus:
      A augmentedA        C# minorC#m       BB
You know I love you cos the heater's on when you come round,
E MajorE     A augmentedA         C# minorC#m        BB
You know I love you when the boiler makes that funny sound,
E MajorE     A augmentedA         C# minorC#m       BB
You know I love you when the dial is red instead of blue,
E MajorE     A augmentedA         C# minorC#m      BB
You know I love you cos I'll always pop the heating on for you.

Bridge:
G#G#     A augmentedA    C# minorC#m
 Ordinarily, I get by
         BB
With a hot water bottle, some blankets by my
G#G#         A augmentedA       BB
side. Given the occasion I don't mind,

My life may be in ruins, but you make it all seem
A augmentedA
fine.


Chorus:
E MajorE              A augmentedA
You know I love you cos the heater's on when you come round,
C# minorC#m             BB
You know I love you when the boiler makes that funny sound,
E MajorE              A augmentedA
You know I love you when the dial is red instead of blue,
C# minorC#m             BB
You know I love you cos I'll always pop the heating on for you.
E MajorE             A augmentedA         C# minorC#m
(Oohs)
  BB
As long as that's still something I can
E MajorE             A augmentedA         C# minorC#m
do, (Oohs)
   BB               E MajorE
I'll always pop the heating on for you.
