Four years of hard work!

This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!

[Intro]
F C G Bb x2

[Verse 1]
F C G Bb
Perhaps it was the holiday we spent abroad last year
F C G Bb
It could have been the wine we drank last night
F C G Bb
Possibly the palace needs a second coat of paint
F C G Bb
But that doesn't condone setting it alight

[Pre-chorus]
Dm Bb C
Why does the butler look so smug?
Dm Bb C
And the gardener, well he looks even worse
F N.C.
He's sent me every flower that he's dug
N.C. Dm C G Bb
And have you ever seen a chauffeur drive a hearse

[Chorus]
N.C. F C G Bb
You're only jealous, Ah Ah
F C G Bb
You're only jealous, Ah Ah
F C G Bb
You're only jealous, Ah Ah
F C G Bb
You're only jealous, Ah Ah

[Verse 2]
F C G Bb
Perhaps it is the quantity of acres that we own
F C G Bb
It could be their allotment's only small
F C G Bb
Maybe we should reconsider giving them a wage
F C G Bb
But a taste of money is worse that none at all

[Pre-chorus]
Dm Bb C
The parlourmaid's a deadly quiet lass
Dm Bb C
Never really comes out of her shell
F N.C.
But every time I talk to her, she offers me a glass
N.C. Dm C G Bb
Of a drink that she never drinks herself

[Chorus]
N.C. F C G Bb
You're only jealous, Ah Ah
F C G Bb
You're only jealous, Ah Ah
F C G Bb
You're only jealous, Ah Ah
F C G Bb
You're only jealous, Ah Ah
F

[Interlude]

Stir it up x5

[Outro]
F Dm Bb
Of the company I keep and the stars you never meet
F Dm Bb
Of the caviar they eat whilst you're chewing at your wheat
F Dm Bb
Of the hours that they sleep whilst you're sweating in the heat
F Dm Bb
Of the masses at their feet and the tongue between their cheek
F
Think of stronger than the weak
Dm Bb
Think of vulture and its beak
F Dm Bb
Think of oil, think of sheikh, think of lord and comfy seat
F Dm Bb
Think of admiral and fleet, think of public school elite
F
Think of leaders and their sheep
Dm Bb
Think of butchers and their meat
F
Think of leaders and their sheep
Dm Bb
Think of butchers and their meat
F
Think of leaders and their sheep
Dm Bb
Think of butchers and their meat
F
