Текст песни с аккордами
Вступление
************************************
On the Past Present And Future album, the song is played in the key of F#. But Al probably played it on a
guitar detuned down by one semi-tone and with chord shapes in the key of G which is how I have tabbed it.

[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
G D
I was a post-war baby in a small Scots town
C D
I was three years old when we moved down South
G D
Hard times written in my mother's looks
C F G
With her widow's pension and her ration books
D
Aneurin Bevin took the miner's cause
C D
To the House of Commons in his coal dust voice
G D
We were locked up safe and warm from the snow
C F G
With Life With The Lions on the radio
Em A
And Churchill said to Louis Mountbatten
Em A
"I just can't stand to see you today
Em A
How could you've gone and given India away?"
C D
Mountbatten just frowned said "What can I say?
G D
Some of these things slip through your hands
C D
And there's no good talking or making plans"
G C
But Churchill he just flapped his wings
A D
Said "I don't really care to discuss these things
[Chorus]
Em A
But oh, every time I look at you
Em D
I feel so low I don't know what to do
C D G C
Well, every day just seems to bring bad new-oo-oos
G D G
Leaves me here with the Post World War II blues".
[Verse 2]
G D
1959 was a very strange time
C D
A bad year for Labour and a good year for wine
G D
Uncle Ike was our American pal
C F G
And nobody talked about the Suez Canal
G D
I can still remember the last time I cried
C D
The day that Buddy Holly died
G D
I never met him, so it may seem strange
C F G
Don't some people just affect you that way
Em A
And all in all it was good
Em A
There even seemed to be in an optimistic mood
Em A
While TW3 sat and laughed at it all
C D
Till some began to see the cracks in the walls
G D
And one day Macmillan was coming downstairs
C D
A voice in the dark caught him unawares
G C
It was Christine Keeler blowing him a kiss
A D
He said "I never believed it could happen like this
[Chorus]
Em A
But oh, every time I look at you
Em D
I feel so low I don't know what to do
C D G C
Well every day just seems to bring bad news
G D G
Leaves me here with the Post World War Two Blues"
[Instrumental]
G D C D G D C F G Em A Em A Em A C F D G
[Verse 3]
G D
I came up to London when I was nineteen
C D
With a corduroy jacket and a head full of dreams
G D
In coffee bars I spent my nights
C F G
Reading Allen Ginsberg, talking civil rights
G D
The day Robert Kennedy got shot down
C D
The world was wearing a deeper frown
G D
And though I knew that we'd lost a friend
C F G
I always believed we would win in the end
Em A
'Cause music was the scenery
Em A
Jimi Hendrix played loud and free
Em A
Sergeant Pepper was real to me
C D
Songs and poems were all you needed
G D
Which way did the sixties go?
C D
Now Ramona's in Desolation Row
G C
And where I'm going I hardly know
A D
It surely wasn't like this before but
[Chorus]
Em A
Oh, every time I look around
Em D
I feel so low my head seems underground
C D G C
Well every day just seems to bring bad news
G D G A B
Leaves me here with the Post World War Two Blues
[Chorus]
Em A
Oh, every time I look at you
Em D
I feel so low I don't know what to do
C D G C
Well every day just seems to bring bad news
G D G A B C G
Leaves me here with the Post World War Two Blues
