[Intro]
| Bm | Bm | Bm | Bm |
[Verse 1]
Bm A Bm With all the clarity of dream A Bm The sky so blue, the grass so green Bm A Bm The rank and file and the navy blue Em A F#m Bm The deep and strong, the straight and true
[Verse 2]
Bm A Bm The blue line they got the given sign A Bm The belts and boots march forward in time Bm A Bm The wood and leather, the club and shield Em A F#m Bm Swept like a wave across the battlefield
[Verse 3]
Bm A Bm Now with all the clarity of dream A Bm The blood so red, the grass so green A Bm The gleam of spur on chestnut flank Em A F#m The cavalry did burst upon the ranks
[Interlude]
| Bm | Bm | Bm | Bm A |
[Verse 4]
Bm A Bm Oh the iron will and iron hand A Bm In england's green and pleasant land A Bm No music for the shameful scene Em A F#m That night they said it had even shocked the queen
[Interlude]
| Bm | Bm | Bm | Bm A |
[Verse 5]
Bm A Bm Well alas we've seen it all before Bm A Bm Knights in armour, days of yore Bm A Bm The same old fears and the same old crimes Em A F#m We haven't changed since ancient times
[Outro]
| Bm | Bm | Bm | Bm |
[Notes]
It sounds alright if you just do some fingerpicking between the verses and just
simplify it during the verses.
My suggestion is something like this:
(left hand holds Bm - right hand fingerpick, keep playing this over
when you shift the chords, it will sound alright)
