...WHAT DO YOU DO?... by The Proclaimers ---------------------...................
*from 'Sunshine on Leith' (1988)*
Intro:
GG7CCm, GD7C
Verse 1:
GG7 Yeah, I know you're right, I see it in your fierce eyes. CCm But me I've never thought straight, since the day I had the first doubt. GD7 Yes, I know you're right, and I'll back you to a point, pal. CG But I'll never be constrained by, a-nother man's ideas now.
Verse 2:
GG7 I spent too long on this road, looking for the answers, CCm But poverty and failure, aren't what I'm after. GD7 I painted "fight" on factories, but they closed the factory down, pal. CG I want to find out where the heart's gone, find out where the nerves gone.
Chorus 1:
DCG What do you do, when de-mocracy fails you? B7CG Ah, ah, ah, ah. DCG What do you do, when the rest can't see it's true? B7CG Ah, ah, ah, ah.
Verse 3:
GG7 Pat votes the Scots way, just like her mother, CCm But south always takes all; just like her brother. GD7 The next time she might vote; so might the others, CG But time's running out, pal, 'cos they're giving up in numbers.
Chorus 2:
DCG What do you do, when de-mocracy's all through? B7CG Ah, ah, ah, ah. DCG What do you do, when mi-nority means you? B7CG Ah, ah, ah, ah.
