Transcribed by wranglingoutlaw
Capo 2, 3/4 time & key of E
G C G
Was 12 years old the last time
C | G | G |
But the laws have all moved on
G C G
A striking family gets nothing
C | D | Dsus4 |
And even less when it's gone
D Em
She'll rip the heart from this country
C | Dsus4 | D |
There's nothing more to this town
C G
Than bricks in the middle of nowhere
C | G | G |
And a pit that She's closing down
Chorus:
C G
You can get six cups from a tea bag
C | G | G |
You can grow on a window sill
C | G | Em |
We can eat together on Sundays
C | Dsus4 | D |
To spread out the leccy bill
C G
There's nothing much in this bank book
Em | C | C |
But I'll stretch it as far as I can
G C G
I'll show Her who's the 'Iron Lady'
C | G ..
I'm standing by My man
.. | G | G | G |
G C G
I always ask for the cheap cuts
C | G | G |
Like every house on the street
G C G
It's half a pound of gristle
C | D | Dsus4 |
For half an ounce of meat
D Em
When the kids complain that they're hungry
G | Dsus4 | D |
I tell 'em we'll eat when We win
C G
Then I give 'em what's on My plate
C | G | G |
'Cos I'd rather starve than give in
C G
You can get six cups from a tea bag
C | G | G |
You can grow on a window sill
C | G | Em |
We can eat together on Sundays
C | Dsus4 | D |
To spread out the leccy bill
C G
There's nothing much in this bank book
G Em C
But I'll stretch it as far as I can
G C G
I'll show Her who's the 'Iron Lady'
C | G ..
I'm standing by My man
