[Intro]
D  Am  D  Am  D  Am  D  Am

[Verse 1]
D               Am        D         Am
Hoi polloi and aristocrats own your life
D                  Am            D         Am     C
Ne'er do wells and city fat-cats, call the price
            G                     Am    G/B C  D
Put on your uniform, you've gotta fight to  be free
           C G/B  Am  G                   D       C        G
While your majors and generals talk about statues and liberties


[Interlude]
D  Am  D  Am


[Verse 2]
  D                   Am             D         Am
A sad old woman and a stupid old geek own your land
     D               Am                     D                Am    C
They smile at you so scornfully, while they shake you by the hand
            G                     Am    G/B C  D
Put on your uniform, you've gotta fight to  be free
           C G/B  Am  G                   D       C        G
While your majors and generals talk about statues and liberties


[Chorus]
            Em      D      A   
And they've got you on the run
Em    D      A
Every single one
Em       D        C     
Even the People's Party___
     D                C           G
Look down through the barrel of a gun

        
[Interlude]
D  Am  D  Am


[Verse 3]
D              Am           D         Am
Read a book or study poetry, get some wise
D                   Am             D                    Am
Don't believe their stupid bigotry, don't believe their lies
            G                     Am    G/B C  D
Put on your uniform, you've gotta fight to  be free
           C G/B  Am  G                   D       C        G
While your majors and generals talk about statues and liberties


[Chorus]
            Em      D      A   
And they've got you on the run
Em    D      A
Every single one
Em       D        C     
Even the People's Party___
     D                C           G
Look down through the barrel of a gun


[Interlude]
D  Am  D  Am


[Verse 4]
D                    Am     D                     Am
Tough luck if you're black, hard cheese if you're poor
D                   Am                 D                    Am     C
Well done if you've got a stack, let's raise a glass to the whore
            G             Am  G/B C   D
Put on your uniform, your top hat and tails
   C     G/B Am G                D      C         G
My motto is  to serve you all, I am the Prince of Wales
