[Intro]
G When the world is such a mess Gaug It’s hard not to feel depressed Em Gaug Getting stressed by what may come in time G Gaug But life is much more pleasant when you’re living in the present Em G So let’s raise another glass and feel sublime G7 C For come the dawn our plan might fall to bits Cm When Adolf gets his claws in it G And yes, we broke the law a bit G7 That’s right C But at least until tomorrow comes Cm Why not believe that we have won? D And maybe have a little fun?
Charlie, let’s live it up tonight!
[Chorus]
Gm Cm So, just for tonight let’s be winners D Gm Who fin’lly did something right Cm Our plan is signed, sealed, delivered D And tomorrow it could all go wrong D7 Gm So Charlie let’s live it up tonight
N.C.
But, Monty, what if the sub gets hit? Or what if they realise that our documents-
Oh what if they realise our documents-
[Verse]
G Oh Charlie why do all this fretting? Gaug Read the room boy!
Clock the setting!
Em Gaug It’s no life if you’re forgetting to live G I find it helps me feel prepared Gaug To what? Just dwell on being scared? Em I say to hell with that hot air, man G G7 C And give yourself some credit where there’s credit due Cm Who made this plan?
I did
Yes you!
G So celebrate your greatness G7 Grab a gin! C You’re too full of brains a plenty Cm For your glass to feel half empty D So let’s get another bottle D7 Fill the damn thing to the brim!
[Chorus]
Gm Cm Just for tonight we are heros (Just for, for tonight, just for, for tonight)
I’m not sure that’s me
D Gm Who might’ve beaten the Reich (Just for, for tonight, just for, for tonight)
I’m just a bug boy you see
Gm Cm With a fantastical scheme (Just for, for tonight, just for, for tonight)
So Charles
D But tomorrow it could tumble down D7 Exactly Gm Dsus4 Let’s live it up tonight!
[Bridge]
G Gaug Five degrees down, keep 180 feet Em Captain, this uh canister sir? Gaug You mean the weather equipment, Lieutenant? G Oh aye, come on Captain, since when did we become underwater postmen? Gaug We have our orders. What was that?
We've registered a depth charge sir
Em Enemy sub incoming G Change course, Captain? Captain?
[Verse]
G It’s your moment let’s embrace it Gaug Victory's so close we can taste it Em Gaug And some sweet release is what the people need G Gaug Trust me Charles, there’s no point living if we cannot go down swinging Em G7 Drop your bombs we’re off to dance until we bleed C Excuse me, I’m meant to meet my brother here Cm The great artiste owes me a beer G G7 He’s broke I don’t know how his films get made Cm With my comrades overseas Gm I find that money grows on trees D D7 Just sell a secret and you’ll see that loose lips will get you paid
N.C
Brother have you got something for me
Yes, this will make us rich, but it’s off the books
Let’s take a look

The moment’s not quite right

Gm Cm He is the man who tricked Hitler
That’s right
