VERSE:
 A augmentedA         D MajorD     A augmentedA  Asus4Asus4 A augmentedA
Who told you folk music was yours
    A augmentedA       D MajorD      A augmentedA  Asus4Asus4 A augmentedA
Is it something you heard in the chords

    F# minorF#m
Did you dig up our roots
     F# minorF#m
From the fiddle and the flute
  A augmentedA      D MajorD       A augmentedA  Asus4Asus4 A augmentedA
Or was it the ghost of Saint George
   A augmentedA       E MajorE     A augmentedA  Asus4Asus4 A augmentedA
Who told you folk music was yours


VERSE:
   A augmentedA       D MajorD   A augmentedA  Asus4Asus4 A augmentedA
Who showed you your family tree
        A augmentedA      D MajorD     A augmentedA  Asus4Asus4 A augmentedA
`Cause those branches are broken you see
     F# minorF#m
Did your nationalist fame
    F# minorF#m
Spring from Celts and Danes
  A augmentedA     D MajorD      A augmentedA  Asus4Asus4 A augmentedA
Or was it our half German queen
   A augmentedA       E MajorE   A augmentedA  Asus4Asus4 A augmentedA
Who showed you your family tree

PRE-CHORUS:
    F# minorF#m
Playing bellow hair backwards
  F# minorF#m          A augmentedA
Do you Anglo Saxons all hear
       E MajorE
A augmentedA subliminal code and

  F# minorF#m
Is your whole agenda
    F# minorF#m           A augmentedA
Mapped out by the end of the spinning reel
        E MajorE
By spears and bow then


CHORUS:
    D MajorD
Or do you see a country
    E MajorE
Draped in red and white
    F# minorF#m
Where blacks only seen
    BB
Under cover of night

    D MajorD
Do the Gaelic corner
   E MajorE
And the Morris Man
   F# minorF#m
All appeal to your sense
   BB      D MajorD  D MajorD D D MajorD
Of a long lost England


VERSE:
     A augmentedA       D MajorD     A augmentedA  Asus4Asus4 A augmentedA
But who said you have right to belong
    A augmentedA       D MajorD       A augmentedA  Asus4Asus4 A augmentedA
About something you stole from our songs
        F# minorF#m
That have been song through our time
   F# minorF#m
Every note, every line
     A augmentedA      D MajorD   A augmentedA  Asus4Asus4 A augmentedA
Hand me down by the writer anon
    A augmentedA      E MajorE     A augmentedA  Asus4Asus4 A augmentedA
Did he say you have right to belong


VERSE:
     A augmentedA      D MajorD     A augmentedA  Asus4Asus4 A augmentedA
And who gave you the key to the door
     A augmentedA     D MajorD     A augmentedA  Asus4Asus4 A augmentedA
Did you pick it up during the war
   F# minorF#m
Keep it in your pocket
      F# minorF#m
Until it`s time to unlock it
     A augmentedA      D MajorD    A augmentedA  Asus4Asus4 A augmentedA
And stop anyone from coming ashore
     A augmentedA      E MajorE     A augmentedA  Asus4Asus4 A augmentedA
For who gave you the key to the door


PRE-CHORUS:
  F# minorF#m
Or was it the underdog
F# minorF#m            A augmentedA
All that hard work had to stop
         E MajorE
From sailors to barbers

  F# minorF#m
And that formed your racism
F# minorF#m              A augmentedA
Your sense of place and your rum
        E MajorE
Ma pa tikka masala


CHORUS:
      D MajorD
All these songs about soldiers
   E MajorE
All sent off to war
F# minorF#m           BB
Make you forget was it worth fighting for

  D MajorD
As you fly the flag
   E MajorE
And dream of green pastures
  F# minorF#m
We rikkle the strength
    BB      BB
Of the tall puddle mountains


BREAK;
 BB      C# minorC#m         F# minorF#m
Well you can still make a fuss at any debate
    D MajorD            E MajorE
Oh but here social justice transcends every race
     D MajorD       E MajorE      F# minorF#m F# minorF#m F#m F# minorF#m
But I`m glad you think folk music`s good
     D MajorD      E MajorE    A augmentedA  A augmentedA  Asus4Asus4 Asus4 A augmentedA A augmentedA
But you seem to have misunderstood /// /   /// / ///


VERSE:
  A augmentedA       D MajorD      A augmentedA  Asus4Asus4 A augmentedA
So stop sitting there on the fence
   A augmentedA     D MajorD     A augmentedA  Asus4Asus4 A augmentedA
The fight is about to commence
    F# minorF#m
Songs bring us together
  F# minorF#m
But to change the weather
       A augmentedA      D MajorD    A augmentedA  Asus4Asus4 A augmentedA
But then it`s up to the whole audience
  A augmentedA       E MajorE      A augmentedA  Asus4Asus4 A augmentedA
So stop sitting there on the fence


VERSE:
    A augmentedA      D MajorD      A augmentedA  Asus4Asus4 A augmentedA
`Cause folk music belongs to us all
  A augmentedA     D MajorD    A augmentedA  Asus4Asus4 A augmentedA
It catches whenever we fall
    F# minorF#m
Across villages and towns
   F# minorF#m
The songs will ring out
     B minorBm
Down the valleys and streams
   B minorBm
Carrying hearts and dreams
    F# minorF#m
You can hear people come
    F# minorF#m
To the sound of the drum
    B minorBm
It`s inclusivity
     B minorBm
Just the fact that it`s free

     A augmentedA      D MajorD    A augmentedA  Asus4Asus4 A augmentedA
Means no fences, no doors, no walls
       A augmentedA    E MajorE      A augmentedA  Asus4Asus4 A augmentedA
`Cause folk music belongs to us all


OUTRO:
    F# minorF#m
It`s inclusivity
     F# minorF#m
The mere fact that it`s free
     A augmentedA      D MajorD    A augmentedA  Asus4Asus4 A augmentedA
Means no fences, no doors, no walls
       A augmentedA    E MajorE      D MajorD  D MajorD  D MajorD A augmentedA E MajorE A augmentedA
`Cause folk music belongs to us all /// /// / / /
