A                                      A7*   A                          A7*
    Kids are spitting on the Town Hall steps and frightening old ladies

A                              A7* A                A7*
I dreamt that I was living back    in the mid 1980s

A
People marching, people shouting, people wearing pastel leather

                                    A7* A
The future's ours for the taking now,   if we just stick together
[Bridge] N.C. And I said:
 A
"Hey, lay your burden down

A
Seems the last day of the miners' strike

A
Was the Magna Carta in this part of town"
[Verse 1]
        A                         A/E* A                          A/E*
Well my body sank below the ground,    it became as black as night

A                                   A/E* A                              A/E*
Overhead the sound of horses' hooves,    people fighting for their lives

A                        A/E* A                                A/E*
Some joker in a headband      was still getting chicks for free

A                                      A/E* A                      A/E*
And Big Brother was still watching you,     back in the days of '83
[Bridge]
A         A/E*
And I said:

 A             A/E*   A     A/E*
"Hey, lay your burden down

A                                        A/E*
Seems the last day of the miners' strike

A                           A/E* A         A/E* A     A/E* A     A/E* A     A/E*
Was the Magna Carta in this part of town"
[Verse 2]
A5
Well by 1985 I was as cold as cold could be

A5
But no-one was underground to dig me out and set me free

A5
'87 socialism gave way to socialising

A5                                         A                      A/E*
So put your hands up in the air once more, the north is rising...
[Bridge]
A         A/E*
And I said:

 A             A/E*   A     A/E*
"Hey, lay your burden down

A                                        A/E*
Seems the last day of the miners' strike

A                           A/E* A         A/E*

Oh,sing Hallelujah,

A      A/E* A       A/E* A

A                        A/E* A                       A/E*
By now I'm sick an tired of   just living in this hole

A                            A/E* A
So I took the ancient tablets,    blew off the dust

                    A/E*
Swallowed them whole

A                              A/E*
Oh, come on, let's get together

A                            A/E*
Oh, come on, the past is gone

A                              A/E*
Well the very first Commandment:

A
Come on

      A/E* A              A/E* A
Come on, let's get it on

      A/E* A              A/E* A
Come on, let's get it on

           A/E* A
Get it on

           A/E* A
Get it on

           A/E* A
