Then you see it happen again:

                 A/G#
the world turned over.

E
Wouldn't it be something to

D                 A
live your Life On Mars

       Bm       C#m
or at least demanding

    E           D      A    
of some kind of masquerade.

A
I never never ever believed

             A/G#
in things uncertain.

E
Hanging round the corner just

D                       A
when do you start doing time

        Bm      C#m   E       D
in the case of I, my, me and mine

  A      F#m      D     A    
October nineteen sixty nine.

A
Where were you in seventy six

              A/G#
the long hot summer?

E
You wanna be a rebel?

      D                  A
Then turn your hosepipes on

         Bm       C#m
with two years to wait

         E        D       A    
for the sound of Jilted John.

A
Virginia Wade was winning our hearts

             A/G#
she made us want to live.

Vicious and his brothers

      D                A
were trying to set us free.

         Bm      C#m        E      D
But much more than this to you and me

     A       F#m     D   A
this was the Silver Jubilee.

A  A/G#  G   G/F#m E  G  F#m   A
We made something out of nothing.

   A   A/G# G  G/F#m E   G F#m A
A sense of loathing and belonging.

A
Some of us were gonna be rich

              A/G#
with the Iron Lady.

Lennon's gone already.

      D                A
Let's post the boys to war.

    Bm      C#m        E        D
Oh mother, what're you worrying for?

      A        F#m       D      A
It's somewhere he's not been before.

A
Then you see the Union Jack

              A/G#
and it means nothing.

E
But somehow you know

         D                  A
that you will find your own way.

       Bm     C#m     E     D
It's a small reminder every day

     A     F#m     D   A
that I was born in the U.K.
