Capo on third fret
Em G
Born in the sight of the Liverpool dock
Em G D
Within the call of the sea... was the sound
Em
...of poverty
Em G
So they write you down on their social lists
Em G D
Songs of war, and girls that don't exist... and how
Em
...you can't be free.
CHORUS
Em G
For yesterday, we were ten years old
Em G
Yesterday, we were freezing cold
Em G D
Yesterday, you had us bought and sold... but now...
Em
We are Billy Bold
Em G
Must we immigrate, or stand and fight?
Em G D
Troubled times when we must unite... let the chains...
Em
...that bind us free.
Em G
There's no need to shout, everybody knows
Em G D
It's wilted now, our English rose... lets stone...
Em
...the last Bastille
CHORUS
Em G
For yesterday, we were ten years old
Em G
Yesterday, we were freezing cold
Em G D
Yesterday, you had us bought and sold... but now...
Em
We are Billy Bold
Em G
For the battern's hard, and the dungeon's cold
Em G
You black and white, you young and old
Em G D
Yesterday, we did what we were told... but now...
Em
...we are Billy Bold
CHORUS
Em G
For yesterday, we were ten years old
Em G
Yesterday, we were freezing cold
Em G D
Yesterday, you had us bought and sold... but now...
Em
We are Billy Bold
Em G Em
And you hear, how the drums they roll
Em G Em
Street war, must take it's toll
Em G Em
For now... We are Billy Bold
