Underground

Bm                 Em
Take a look round lively old London
Bm                F#m
Buzzing crowds we sweat and we revel
Em                      A
Red-cheeked shouts and songs
                     Bm       A
In the flicker of the gaslight

Bm             Em
Eager Blighty bursts from the cobblestones
Bm                F#m
Racing, climbing blooming fertility
Em               F#m
Born from secret seeds
                         Bm
That were scattered in the nighttime

                     F#m
London is fed upon the meat of the dead
       Em                    F#m
They're one shallow inch below the town

F#m            Bm
Leave them underground

Bm                   Em
Them that whispered dreams that only poisoned us
Bm                 F#m
Them that told us lies of their bravery
Em                    F#m                      Bm      A
Them that preached of progress, and put us in the poorhouse
Bm                Em
Them done horrid murder on bloody stages
Bm                F#m
Them that loudly crowed their humility
Em                   F#m                       Bm
Lords and dames that sung in the chapels on a Sunday

Bm
All quiet now.
               F#m
Their mouths are stopped up by mud.
   Em                             F#m
They lie flung in rags and make no sound.

D                            Bm   A
Those who fought for something better
                 Em
Those who taught by how they lived
G                A               Bm
Loved ones taken long before their work was done
