The Key To Life On Earth Ukulele by Declan Mckenna

Chords with lyrics

Tuning: G C E A (G C E A)

Instrumental:
Ab  Eb  Bb  Fm Cm Ab  Eb  Bb  Bb Cm

Verse 1:
Ab  Eb       Bb            Fm Cm
Gold, let it unfold, imagine you’re dressed in gold,
Ab        Eb       Bb      Bb Cm
Roaring crowds in Manchester will manage to be told,

Pre-chorus 1:
      Fm
Oh and your king,
      Cm
the boy you loved in spring,
Gm      Fm      Eb Ab
 The way she looks at him,
      Cm
the common goal,
      Eb       Bb
and waiting for the kids to go

Chorus 1:
Ab     Eb             Bb
We’ve been, held back for after school meetings,
    Fm   Cm   Ab
They’ve got it in for me,
  Eb
For what* it's worth,
  Bb   Bb   Cm
The key to, life on earth

Chorus 2:
Ab   Eb         Bb
Jokers, happy go xenophobe locals,
   Fm   Cm   Ab
Have got it in for me,
  Eb
For all I'm worth
  Bb   Bb   Cm
The key to, life on earth

Instrumental:
Ab  Eb  Bb  Fm Cm Ab  Eb  Bb  Bb Cm

Verse 2:
Ab      Eb     Bb       Fm Cm
 Holy smokes, you kids and your jokes,
    Ab        Eb       Bb           Cm
Asking where we got our jeans,and where the hell we found our coats,

Verse 3:
      Ab           Eb         Bb    Fm  Cm
Cause dirty streets these days are graced by Nikes of black and green,
        Ab      Eb         Bb      Cm
And headstrong boys in chinos barely grasp what that could mean,

Pre-chorus 2:
     Fm
And they lie,
       Cm
Then men that wrung us dry,
Gm       Fm       Eb Ab
 The boys who poked your eye,
      Cm        Eb         Bb
The common fool, the walk to school for you and I

Chorus 1:
Ab     Eb             Bb
We’ve been, held back for after school meetings,
    Fm   Cm   Ab
They’ve got it in for me,
  Eb
For what* it's worth,
  Bb   Bb   Cm
The key to, life on earth

Chorus 2:
  Ab      Eb            Bb
The thing is, the out of touch, scrounging rich kids,
  Fm   Cm    Ab
are living here for free,
  Eb
On my home turf
  Bb   Bb   Cm
The key to, life on earth,

Instrumental:
Ab  Eb  Bb  Fm Cm Ab  Eb  Bb  Bb B

Verse 3:
Ab     Eb         Bb    Fm    Cm
Call in to wake you up in the morning, iron your suit and tie
Ab  Eb        Bb Bb Cm
 forever till you die
   Ab     Eb         Bb   Fm   Cm
Join forces like carousels and their horses forever spinning round,
Ab  Eb        Bb  Bb Cm
 and never coming down

Bridge:
Ab             Eb
Come out and join us honey, we will sort you out
Bb                Fm   Cm
Come work in Brookfield Park and we will shut your mouth
Ab               Eb
Come work in Sainsbury's babe until you’ve had enough
Bb                   Cm
Come on out, come on out, come on out, come on out
Ab             Eb
Come out and join us honey, we will sort you out
Bb                Fm   Cm
Come work in Brookfield Park and we will shut your mouth
Ab               Eb
Come work in Sainsbury's babe until you’ve had enough
Bb                   Cm
Come on out, come on out, come on out, come on out


* = in the recording, it seems like he's saying for ALL it's worth
