Chords with lyrics
Lie down and be counted
Neil Innes
[Intro]
G+G C majorC G+G C majorC D MajorD G+G
[Verse 1]
G+G A minorAm
There's no song for the singer, no words for the tune
D MajorD G+G
There's a mess in the message and a man on the moon
A minorAm
There's no plan in the planet, it's all gone berserk
D MajorD G+G
There's a milk bottle shortage and the traffic lights don't work
[Chorus]
G+G C majorC
Lie down and be counted Don't take any more
D MajorD D MajorD A minorAm G+G
Lie down and be counted What are we standing for?
[Verse 2]
G+G A minorAm
But there's hope for the couples who stroll in the park
D MajorD G+G
There's nuclear power to light up the dark
D MajorD A minorAm
There's national health and ice in the fridge
D MajorD G+G
And the occasional cow on a motorway bridge
[Verse 3]
A minorAm
There's extended credit on easier terms
D MajorD G+G
And something to kill all known household germs
G+G A minorAm
There's sofas and armchairs and washing machines
D MajorD G+G
Stars on Sunday, fishfingers and beans
[Chorus]
G+G C majorC
Lie down and be counted Don't take any more
D MajorD D MajorD A minorAm G+G
Lie down and be counted What are we standing for?
[Verse 4]
G+G A minorAm
There's no song for the singer, no words for the tune
D MajorD G+G
There's a mess in the message and a man on the moon
A minorAm
There's no plan in the planet, it's all gone berserk
D MajorD G+G
There's an everything shortage and the traffic lights still don't work
[Chorus]
G+G C majorC
Lie down and be counted Don't take any more
D MajorD D MajorD A minorAm G+G
Lie down and be counted What are we standing for?
[Chorus]
G+G C majorC
Lie down and be counted Don't take any more
D MajorD D MajorD A minorAm G+G
Lie down and be counted What are we standing for?
[Outro]
