[Intro]
C C*
[Verse]
C Em C
Up and down the Strand
Am F
I strolled around penniless
C Em C
But there were pockets to pick
Am F
Beneath the hot august sun
C Em C
When suddenly the sound
Am F
Of singing and laughter arose in the distance
C Em C
And it drew me towards it
Am F
And as I drew closer I could hear the song they sang:
[Bridge]
C Am G* G G*
"This is your country too!
C G G* G
Join our procession
Am G
That's marching onwards to war"
[Verse 2]
C Em C
I could see them
Am F
I saw how rich they all were
C Em C
At the the head of the gang
Am F
were top civil servants and captains of industry
C Em C
With well-manicured hands
Am F
And greasy smiles enticing the populous
C Em C
"Come buy our shares!
Am F
Who will buy our shares?"
[Bridge]
C Am G* G G*
"For this is your country too!"
C G G* G
A great procession
Am G
Was marching onwards to war
[Chorus]
C G C
A man on the dole stood cursing them all
C G C
He told everyone not to be taken in
C G C
But at the orders of one of the marchers
G C G C
Policemen came and beat him to the floor
[Interlude]
C G C G Am G
[Verse 3]
C Em C
Along Whitehall
Am F
These dubious characters stared
C Em C
Picking up more and more people
Am F
MP's, careerists and God's oppressed senators
C Em C
With the sweetest of smiles
Am F
They held out piggy banks to little children, but
C Em C
As they took them
Am F
The stomping stamping feet trampled them underneath
[Bridge]
C Am G* G G*
"This is your country too!"
C G G* G
A great procession
Am G
Was marching onwards to war
[Chorus]
C G C
"Come along buy your council home"
C G C
They said to a half-dead mother of ten
C G C
"With you on our side we've reason to smile"
C G C G C
They said to a tramp in a pool of alcohol
[Outro]
G C G
On and on their maniac laughs
Am G C
And their marching beat scaring the night
