Al Stewart — Post World War Two Blues

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"

[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
