[Chorus]
C Am
What a time it was
F G
With so few friends to turn to
C Am
What a time it was
F G
When all we did seemed wrong
F G
We'd broken all our bonds
C Csus2 Am
And the battle plan was drawn
F
What a time
G C
What a time it was
[Verse]
C
In 1965, the year of UDI
Who'd have thought the country
G
Would survive, oh stay alive
The UN made us outcasts
And the British said we couldn't last
C
That we would fall when the oil did not arrive
[Repeat for remaining verses/choruses)
