Us and them
G D A D
And after all we're only ordinary men

Me and you

Forward he cried from the rear
Bm D C
and the front rank died
Bm A
The general sat and the lines on the map
D C
moved from side to side
D E D7
Black and blue
G D
And who knows which is which and who is who
E D7
Up and down
G D A
And in the end it's only round and round and round

Bm D C

Bm D C
There's room for you inside
D E D7
Down and out
G D
It can't be helped but there's a lot of it about
D E D7
With without
G D C

Out of the way it's a busy day
Bm D C

Bm
For the want of the price of tea and a slice
Bm D C
The old man died
