Bm
Well its headlights, and white lights, and Black Tar Rivers

Em                  G          D              Em
They're dragging me around this country as it withers

Bm
The billboards, signposts, standing in the way

Em                  G          D              Em
Tell of the state of the nations, that we find today
[Chorus]
       G           D           C
And we play and we play and we play

       G           D           C
To every day, every day, every day

      G
Every day

And in the front rooms of old towns far from the city

Em                  G          D              Em
With beaten up guitars and hearts full of pity

Bm
The people gather round singing songs from everywhere

Em                  G          D              Em
They're torn from the nation, left without a care
[Chorus]
       G           D           C
And we play and we play and we play

       G           D           C
To every day, every day, every day

      G
Every day

And we'll rid the bloody world cos

The words that you heard when you were young will always stay

    D                               C
The one's that always stay make the world go away

The words that you heard when you were young will always stay

Warm night, clear sky, European town

Em                  G          D              Em
Outside the bars singing their hearts out to a crowd

Bm
With open boots, violin, banjo and a voice

Em                  G          D              Em
The exiled buskers are happy with their choice
[Chorus]
       G           D           C
And we play and we play and we play

To every day, every day, every day
