Prologue To History

Bm
G   D   F#  x2

[Verse 1]
Bm
Were we the kinnock factor
G
Am I talking private sector
D
Do I think I'm Shaun William Ryder
F#
Or my former friend who's now undercover
G
He's gone, I'm no deserter
D                 F#
Perhaps I'm hard, all the same

[Chorus]
G       D
Today a poet who can't play guitar
G               D
Tomorrow steve ovett has injured his calf
Bm
Next year the world's greatest politician
Em
Yesterday the boy who once had a mission
A                  Gm               D
I don't wanna be a prologue to history
  Gm
A prologue to histor...

[Verse 2]
Bm
So I water my plants with evian
G
A brand new dyson, that is decadent
D
Read the papers and the business section
F#
Check out the tessas and the pensions
G
Call my friends and they're all right
D                  F#
So I pray for the safety of the night

[Chorus]
G       D
Today a poet who can't play guitar

Tomorrow steve ovett has injured his calf
Bm
Next year the world's greatest politician
Em
Yesterday the boy who once had a mission
A                  Gm               D
I don't wanna be a prologue to history

A prologue to histor...

[Verse 3]
Bm
Remember ethnic cleansing in the highlands
G
No one says a thing in the middle of england
D
I'm bruised fruit but still taste so nice
F#
But if you look at me, you better look twice
G
I'm talking rubbish to cover up the cracks
D                   F#
An empty vessel who can't make contact

[Chorus]
G       D
Today a poet who can't play guitar
G             D
Tomorrow phil bennet's playing outside half
Bm
Next year the world's greatest politician
Em
Yesterday the boy who once had a mission
A                  Gm               D
I don't wanna be a prologue to history
  Gm               D
A prologue to history
  Gm               D
A prologue to history
  Gm       D
