The Winter Fuel Allowance Ineligibility Blues chords by Martha

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

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

warm.


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


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


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


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

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


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