G
 Day by day

      Bm         B
We're winnowing away

       Em
At the kind of world -

     D                 C
The heathens had their eyes on
[Verse 2]
G
 Step by step

    Bm              B
The sun is going to set

       Em          D           C
On the waves that sully the horizon
[Chorus]
         C/G                    G
So close Your eyes and think of England

           Em            D
That boat afloat on the ocean

                 C
Sets My spine a-tingling

            Bm               C
So, let the boys brigade be singing

         | G Em | C |
Close Your eyes......

         | G Em | C |
Close Your eyes......
[Verse 3]
G
 Blow by blow

        Bm         B
There's gonna be a show

            Em
We're gonna teach the goons -

    D              C
The who is who of history
[Verse 4]
G
 Deal by deal

      Bm              B
We'll crush Them on a wheel

   Em            D        C
Of progress and manifest destiny
[Chorus]
          C/G                  G
So, close Your eyes & think of England

          Em             D
That boat afloat on the ocean

                            C
With the chains of state a-jingling

           Bm             C
And at the sight of intermingling

         | G Em | C |
Close Your eyes......

         | G Em | C |
Close Your eyes......
[Bridge]
          C/G
Close the door behind You

G             D
I feel kinda blue

          C/G
I guess I miss the time

     G             D
The scapegoat was always someone new

   C/G              G   | D | D |
So step up to the camera, You....
[Chorus]
          C/G                    G
And close Your eyes and think of England

          Em          D
That boat afloat all alone

                 C
On the ocean is sinking

      Bm            C
And a telephone is ringing

    Bm                    C
The coastguard have been drinking

  Bm           C
Nobody had an inkling

                     | G Em | C |
'Cos They closed Their eyes......

                     | G Em | C |
            Close Your eyes......

                     | G Em | C |
            Close Your eyes......

                     | G Em | C |
            Close Your eyes......
