Intro chords: Bm Em C G Em G D

    G      C      G   D
I was just a little boy without care

  Em       G    Em     Am   D
I remember looking up and seeing you there

    C       Bm      Am
I never wandered too far from your sight

        G         C      Am   D
'Cause all the love I needed was there in your eyes

     G                    D
We grew up in a war zone city with a cast iron wind

    Em                 Am     D
Broken lives, darken streets, and twisted steel

   C          G     D Am
But around our house the sky seems so blue

     Em         C          D
And on a wing and prayer we just muddled through

Bm   C        G        D        Em
And we always kept the laughter and the smile upon our face

     C         G        D          Am
In that good-old-fashion British way with pride and faultless grace

G     C         G           D        Em
I shall never forget those childhood days for as long as I shall live

     Am            G         D  G
And I'll always find my way back, always find my way back home

G
Tell me why in wars that made our family strong

     Em                     G
As our defiant little island weathered the storm

    C       G      Am
There never seemed enough on my plate

       Em      C        Am    D
You said be grateful, say grace, don't complain

   C     G         D        Em
How can I ever thank you for the lessons that I've learnt

     C          G        D       Am
And the precious warmth and comfort that I've felt at every turn

Bm    C       G           D        Em
And for those that sacrificed their lives for freedom and for peace

    Am            G         D  G
I will always find my way back, always find my way back home

Em       D      C       G
I'll give you stories, of raging, burning skies

     D        C        G
And our nation with its back against the wall

    Em    D      C       G
Like a wide-eyed school boy I hang on every word

Am              D
Stories I was too young to recall

     C       G        D       Em
And we always kept the laughter and the smile upon our face

     C        G        D          Am
In that good-old-fashion British way with pride and faultless grace

G    C          G           D       Em
I shall never forget those childhood days for as long as I shall live

     Am            G       D
And I'll always find my way back, always find my way

    C        G        D       Em
And we always kept the laughter and the smile upon our face

     C        G        D          Am
In that good-old-fashion British way with pride and faultless grace

Bm   C          G          D        Em
I shall never forget those childhood days for as long as I shall live

     Am            D           G
And I'll always find my way back, always find my way back home

Covering Churchill?s voice saying:
We shall fight on the beaches
We shall fight on the landing grounds
We shall fight in the fields, and in the streets
We shall fight in the hills, we shall never surrender
