E A7 E A7
[Verse 1]
E A7 E A7 Me and the Major could become close friends because we E A7 E A7 Get on the same train and he wants to talk to me E A7 E A7 Me and the Major could become close friends because we E A7 E A7 Get on the same train and he wants to talk F#m A7 E A7 E A7 But there is too much history, too much biography between us
[Verse 2]
E A7 E A7 Me and the Major don't see eye to eye on a E A7 E A7 Number of things, he'll take a guy like me, oh yeah E A7 E A7 Me and the Major don't see eye to eye on a E A7 E A7 Number of things, he'll take a guy like me F#m And put him in the army A7 E A7 E A7 Because the Queen's own army makes a man of you
[Chorus]
F#m But he doesn't understand and he doesn't try A7 He knows there's something missing and he knows it's you and I C#m We're the younger generation, we grew up fast G#m All the others did drugs F#m They're taking it out on us A7 They're taking it out on us E A7 E A7 They're taking it out on us
[Verse 3]
E A7 E A7 Me and the Major are from different worlds, but if E A7 E A7 I get stuck in the lift it's always with a toff E A7 E A7 Me and the Major are from different worlds, but if E A7 E A7 I get stuck in the lift it's always with a man F#m A7 E A7 E A7 Of noble standing who looks down on me like I was never born
[Verse 4]
E A7 E A7 I think the Major's going quite insane, he goes E A7 E A7 Along the pavement and comes back again, oh yeah E A7 E A7 I think the Major's going quite insane, he goes E A7 E A7 Along the pavement and comes back again F#m A7 Like he is on parade, and he is on parade E At least he thinks so
[Chorus]
F#m Now he is swapping his tent for a sheltered home A7 He doesn't have a family and he is living alone C#m He remembers all the punks and the hippies too G#m And he remembers Roxy Music in '72 F#m He doesn't understand and he doesn't try A7 He knows there's something missing and he knows it's you and I C#m We're the younger generation, we grew up fast G#m All the others did drugs F#m They're taking it out on us A7 They're taking it out on us E A7 E A7 E A7 E A7 They're taking it out on us
[Verse 5]
E A7 E A7 I want a dance, I want a drink of whisky so I E A7 E A7 Forget the Major and go up the town, oh boy E A7 E A7 I want a dance, I want a drink of whisky so I E A7 E A7 Forget the Major and go up the town F#m Because the snow is falling A Yeah the snow is falling, F#m A the snow is falling, falling, falling, falling, falling, falling...
[Outro]
