Loyalty Festers chords by Onsind

Intro:
G C G C

Verse:
G
Sun went down,
                       C
Drinking at the dreadnought,
C                                               G
Nothing turned out quite the way you thought it would,
G
Knuckles red and crusty,
                        C
All the pictures gather dust,
C
He doesn’t write, he doesn’t care,

Instrumental:
G C

Verse:
G
There’s this sense of niggling doubt,
                    C
Everything you care about,
                                      G
Is just some elaborate joke at your expense,
G
The pride you feel is broken,
                              C
The land you say you love was choked,
C
By your embrace.

Chorus:
Em                   C
Cupid’s Bow, Neck Tattoo,
C                   G
“England belongs to you”
                             B         Em
But what the fuck is England anyway oh yeah,
                          C
But empty words and empty gestures,
                 G                       Em  C
That loyalty, it festers, it festers, it festers.

Instrumental:
G C

Verse:
G
Words still ringing in your ears
                     C
“It never did me any harm”,
                                       G
Ditched PE to hide the bruises on your arm,
G
Not so skinny anymore,
                         C
Wish he’d turn up at the door,
                       C
Like the social worker did.

Chorus:
Em                    C
Widow’s Peak, Neck Tattoo
                   G
England belongs to you,
                                B               Em
And all who show their pride in seven shades oh yeah,
                      C
Empty words and empty gestures,
                 G                       Em  C
That loyalty, it festers, it festers, it festers.
D                         C
This is not what you were promised,
D                         C
This is not what you were promised,
        G
Jerusalem.

Instrumental:
G C Em C

Bridge:
G                        C
Is something sacred here among,
                          Em
These dark satanic retail parks?
                      C
Are we accountable to none,
                                 G
While our adventures leave their mark,
                         C
Did holy feet in ancient times,
                      Em
Endow a glory in this soil,
                         C
Capricious markings on a map,
                          G
Fickle, selfish, violent, spoiled,
G      C                              Em
Jerusalem, blood and vomit on the concrete.
Em    C                                  G
Jerusalem, blood and vomit on the concrete.
