Chords with lyrics

Verse 1:

B minorBm        E minorEm
Take a look round lively old London

B minorBm        F# minorF#m
Buzzing crowds we sweat and we revel,

E minorEm           F# minorF#m
Red-cheeked shouts and songs

           B minorBm     Bm/ABm/A
In the flicker of the gaslight.

B minorBm      E minorEm
Eager Blighty bursts from the cobblestones

B minorBm        F# minorF#m
Racing, climbing, blooming fertility

E minorEm        F# minorF#m               B minorBm
Born from secret seeds that were scattered in the night time.

Chorus:

B minorBm           F# minorF#m
London is fed upon the meat of the dead.

E minorEm                 F# minorF#m
They're one shallow inch below the town.

E minorEm     B minorBm     F# minorF#m       B minorBm
Underground underground leave them underground.

Verse 2:

B minorBm         E minorEm
Them that whispered dreams that only poisoned us

B minorBm        F# minorF#m
Them that told us lies of their bravery

E minorEm          F# minorF#m            B minorBm      Bm/ABm/A
Them that preached of progress and put us in the poorhouse.

B minorBm        E minorEm
Them done horrid murder on bloody stages

B minorBm        F# minorF#m
Them that loudly crowed their humility

E minorEm          F# minorF#m           B minorBm
Lords and dames that sung in the chapels on a Sunday

Chorus:

B minorBm               F# minorF#m
All quiet now their mouths are stopped by mud

E minorEm                 F# minorF#m
They lie flung in rags and make no sound.

E minorEm     B minorBm     F# minorF#m       B minorBm
Underground underground leave them underground.
