Guitar chords with lyrics

Verse 1:

Bm                Em
Take a look round lively old London

Bm                F#m
Buzzing crowds we sweat and we revel,

Em                     F#m
Red-cheeked shouts and songs

                      Bm          Bm/A
In the flicker of the gaslight.

Bm            Em
Eager Blighty bursts from the cobblestones
Bm                F#m
Racing, climbing, blooming fertility

Em               F#m                              Bm
Born from secret seeds that were scattered in the night time.

Chorus:

Bm                     F#m
London is fed upon the meat of the dead.

Em                                 F#m
They're one shallow inch below the town.

Em          Bm          F#m             Bm
Underground underground leave them underground.

Verse 2:

Bm                  Em
Them that whispered dreams that only poisoned us

Bm                F#m
Them that told us lies of their bravery

Em                    F#m                        Bm           Bm/A
Them that preached of progress and put us in the poorhouse.

Bm                Em
Them done horrid murder on bloody stages

Bm               F#m
Them that loudly crowed their humility

Em                   F#m                      Bm
Lords and dames that sung in the chapels on a Sunday

Chorus:

Bm                             F#m
All quiet now their mouths are stopped by mud

Em                                 F#m
They lie flung in rags and make no sound.

Em          Bm          F#m             Bm
Underground underground leave them underground.

Instrumental:
D A Em G A Bm

Outtro:

D
Those who fought for something better

A                   Em
Those who taught by how they lived.

G                A                 Bm
Loved ones taken long before their work was done.

Em           Bm           A               Bm
Underground, Underground, leave them Underground (x4)
