Chords

"The Soldiers Of The Old Home Guard" is a song from the movie/musical "Bedknobs and Broomsticks" (1971). This it a typical march, so use your guitar as a snare-drum. Keep the beat up. The outro is transposed half a note up. I deliberatly did not work this out, so everyone can play it. |Intro| | D | D | E | A | D | G | G | G | | D | D | E | D | G | D | G D | [Verse 1]
         D              G     D
They’re sailing for England - Oh! What a shame!

              G      A
Someone is after our island again

                          D
We’ll let them have it… - Oh, yes we will!

     E                                  A
But maybe they won’t want it when they get the bill!

    D                G D
For we wrote the story of the old brigades

                G     A
We know the glory of yesterday’s parades

                        D
We’re sell them blighty yard by yard

         G              G    D    G
They'll buy it from the old Home Guard! - They Will!

         G              G    D    G
They'll buy it from the old Home Guard!
[Verse 2]
     D              G   D
So, call out the navy, call out the ranks

                  G      A
Call out the air force, call out the tanks.

                          D
From the cliffs of Dover call up the Gulls

     E                           A
And don’t forget the loyal Territorials!

      D                G     D
But, who’s digging in here? Who will defend?

                  G        A
Every inch of England, no matter what they send?

                            D
Who’s standing firm in our own front yard?

     G              G    D    G
The soldiers of the old Home Guard - That’s Who!

     G              G    D    G
The soldiers of the old Home Guard.
[Capo 1 Key change D#] [Outro]
    D                G D
For we wrote the story of the old brigades

                G     A
We know the glory of yesterday’s parades

                            D
Who’s standing firm in our own front yard?

     G              G    D    G
The soldiers of the old home guard - That’s Who!

     G              G    D    G
The soldiers of the old home guard.
