Lie Down And Be Counted chords by Neil Innes

Lie down and be counted
Neil Innes

[Intro]
G  C  G  C  D  G

[Verse 1]
G                                  Am
There's no song for the singer, no words for the tune
          D                         G
There's a mess in the message and a man on the moon
                               Am
There's no plan in the planet, it's all gone berserk
          D                            G
There's a milk bottle shortage and the traffic lights don't work

[Chorus]
G                                      C
Lie down and be counted Don't take any more
                D                   D    Am  G
Lie down and be counted What are we standing for?

[Verse 2]
            G                        Am
But there's hope for the couples who stroll in the park
      D                  G
There's nuclear power to light up the dark
                 D    Am
There's national health and ice in the fridge
        D                   G
And the occasional cow on a motorway bridge

[Verse 3]
                           Am
There's extended credit on easier terms
    D                     G
And something to kill all known household germs
G                               Am
There's sofas and armchairs and washing machines
D                G
Stars on Sunday, fishfingers and beans

[Chorus]
G                                      C
Lie down and be counted Don't take any more
                D                   D    Am  G
Lie down and be counted What are we standing for?

[Verse 4]
G                                  Am
There's no song for the singer, no words for the tune
          D                         G
There's a mess in the message and a man on the moon
                               Am
There's no plan in the planet, it's all gone berserk
        D                              G
There's an everything shortage and the traffic lights still don't work

[Chorus]
G                                      C
Lie down and be counted Don't take any more
                D                   D    Am  G
Lie down and be counted What are we standing for?

[Chorus]
G                                      C
Lie down and be counted Don't take any more
                D                   D    Am  G
Lie down and be counted What are we standing for?
