[Intro] 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...
