                            D
cried the drunkard in his sleep.

 G                   F
Not likely said the little child.

  Am                      C 1   F#m F#m F#m D C#  1
What's done the Lord can keep.

                                F#m
And the vicar stands a-praying.

Em                  D
And the television dies

G                     F
as the white dot flickers and is gone

     Dm               A  B
and no-one stops to cry.

 A   G F     C         D     F G
Dark Ages shaking the dead

 A    G F   C            D   F G  D B F# F# F# G5
Cold rages burn in your head.

Em
  The big jet rumbles over runway miles

  D                       Em  C D
that scar the patchwork green

  Em
where slick tycoons and rich buffoons

 D                  Em  C D
have opened up the seam

A                      Gsus4 G
of golden nights and champagne flights

D           E
ad-man overkill

A                Gsus4 G
and in the haze consumer crazed

 D                 B
we take the sugar pill.

 G   F Eb   Bb         C
Dark Ages shaking the dead

Cold rages burn in your head.

Em
  Jagged fires mark the picket lines

  D              Em  C D
the politicians weep

Em
and mealy-mouthed

   D                             Em          C D
through corridors of power on tip-toe creep.

 A              G
Come and see bureaucracy

 D              E
make its final heave

     A            Gsus4 G
and let the new disorder through

       D                 B
while senses take their leave.

 G   F Eb   Bb         C

Solo part: ...
Em
  Families screaming line the streets

     D                 Em   C D
and put the windows through

Em
in corner shops

  D                                           Em  C D
where keepers kept the country's life-blood blue.

 A                    G
Take their pick and try the trick

 D                       E
with loaves and fishes shared

         A                   Gsus4 G
and the vicar shouts as the lights go out,

     D             B
and no-one really cares.
