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.
