[Verse 1]
Am G Am
After battle, with wounds to lick
G Em Am
And beaus and belles all reuniting
Am G Am
Rationing, austerity:
G Em D
It did us good after the fighting
Dm C Dm
Now, time to bid some fond farewells
C Dm C Dm
And walk away from em-pires crumbling
Dm C Dm
Post-war baby-boom to fuel
C Dm C Dm
With post-Victorian half-dressed fumbling
Bm A Bm
I see a screen, grey cathode tube
A F#m Bm
In walnut cabinet, pride of place
Bm A Bm
In holy family living room
A F#m E
Clipped-tone announcer, powdered face
Em D Em
And now to mould public opinion
D Em D Em
Sanctify the good and great
Em D Em
Lordly over his dominion
D Em D Em
Brash television seals our fate
[Chorus 1]
Am G Am
After these wars, when gentler winds were blowing
Am C G F C
Af-ter these wars, when stocking tops were showing
F C G/B Am
When the Co-op gave us daily bread and penicillin raised the dead
F G C5 E5 Am G Em F G Am
And combine harvesters kept us fed, after these wars
[Verse 2]
Am G Am
We thanked the Yank and thanked the Lord
G Em Am
For sparing us from dark invasion
Am G Am
Now to liberate, rebuild
G Em D
And balance Europe's new equation
Dm C Dm
Spooky spies in from the cold
C Dm C Dm
With lies and secrets to be sold
Dm C Dm
To bigger brothers, bigger bombs
C Dm C Dm
Le Carré thrillers to be told
Bm A Bm
We take our place amongst those others
A F#m Bm
Who would punch above their weight
Bm A Bm
Divest ourselves of glowing mantle
A F#m E
Mantle of old Britain Great
Em D Em
Bit part cast in Hollywood
D Em D Em
Ripe old thespian, to-lerated
Em D Em
World-weary ham upon the stage
D Em D Em
Evergreen but o- ver-rated
[Chorus 2]
Am G Am
After these wars, when gentler winds were blowing
Am C G F C
Af-ter these wars, when stocking tops were showing
F C G/B Am
When the Co-op gave us daily bread and penicillin raised the dead
F G C5 E5 Am G Em F G Am
And combine harvesters kept us fed, after these wars
[Instrumental]
