Here At Homerton Hospital

G

[Verse]
G                                       C
Steve is from Basildon, he's a hospital porter
G
His shift starts in the middle of the night
D
He rides in to work on a motorbike
G                           C
He doesn't talk much to the patients
       G                            D
But he gets them where they need to go
G                          C
He gets on with all of his collegues though
          D
Like that surgeon in the templar ward
                G
Who always says hello
G
That surgeon is called Dan
              C
He grew up in Gloucester
     G
Ever since he was young, just wanted to help everyone
       D
He was destined to be a doctor
   G                               C
He met his girlfriend Rena here at work
G            D
She's a physio
G                   C
And she was born in Egypt
     G                   D
In a small town south of Cairo
            C                        D
She came to England as a teen with a busted knee
C                       D
And when they fixed her up for free
C                         D
She knew exactly what she wanted to be
C                                  D
So she learnt the language and the bones and the muscles
    C                           D
And studied really hard for the qualifications
    C                D                                    G
And not long ago got her first placement here at Homerton Hospital
                                  C
She eats her lunch with Jill from reception
G
Jill comes from Swindon, via Jamaica
D
She's a Rastafarian
    G                   C
She works the desk at A&E
G                                     D
And you won't believe the things that she's seen
       C                D           G
Or the respect that she has for her team
C                        D
There's a paramedic from Portugal
C                 D
A pharmacist from Senegal
C                         D
A security guard from the Isle of Man
      C       D          G
And a pediatritican from Pakistan

[Chorus]
  C                          G
Faces from different places, religions and races
D                    G
All working together under one roof
   C                      G
So many walks of life and background stories
    D                                    G
All coming together for the sick and the poorly
C                       G
Someone's operating and someone's giving birth
D                                G
Someone's holding someone else's hand when they pass
C                                    G
They'll stitch you back together and they'll heal the wounds
D
It won't cost you anything at all
C       D        G
Here at Homerton Hospital

[Verse]
                             C
There's an orthadox Jew with Australian flu
            G                           D
Getting his blood pressure checked by a girl from Bangladesh
          G                           C
There's a kid from the estate, got himself in to a state
          G                    D
And now a Polish nurse put his arm in to a cast
    G                C
And poor uncle Terry slipped in to a coma
         G                          D
Now he's being looked after by Nula from Rowanda
G                                  C
And everyone makes jokes about the hospital food
       G                                 D
But to tell you the truth, it's actually pretty good
    G                                 C
And that's down to the chef who comes from Marrakech
        G                               D
Makes a killer sherpard's pie and feeds hundereds of patients
             G
Every single night

[Chorus]
  C                          G
Faces from different places, religions and races
D                    G
All working together under one roof
   C                      G
So many walks of life and background stories
    D                                    G
All coming together for the sick and the poorly
C                       G
Someone's operating and someone's giving birth
D                                G
Someone's holding someone else's hand when they pass
C                                    G
They'll stitch you back together and they'll heal the wounds
D
It won't cost you anything at all
C       D        G
Here at Homerton Hospital

[Outro]
          C                          G                D          G
So if you wonder how the world might work while being multicultural
C                   D            G
Come and pay a visit to Homerton Hospital
