[Verse 1]
Bm D Well they fenced off a piece of land G Bm That was doing nothing Bm D For they made a pledge to build G Bm Some more low-income houses
[Chorus 1]
G The trucks rolled in and they dug up A Bm All the wild flowers D A G And the sign said future cite of Camelot Towers
[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
Bm D Well they had their work cut out so they got right G Bm Down to business Bm D There was a poster on the wall how it would G Bm Look when it was finished
[Chorus 2]
G Two big white buildings beneath the words A Bm Our finest hour D A G Bm A Everything to suit your family Camelot Towers
[Bridge]
G Bm They made a promise and there it stood A Just like they said it would be G Bm They made a promise and they made good D A/C# Was just as big and just as wide C G/B And every bit as unsightly as the last Gm D A F#7 And more so as the years role past
[Verse 3]
Bm D Now everybody needs a home and a home is G Bm What you make it Bm D But that’s a soulless piece of stone and you just G Bm Can’t escape it
[Chorus 3]
G No trace of beauty and certainly A Bm No knights in armour D A G Bm A Were they laughing when the called it Camelot Towers G The trucks rolled in and they dug up A Bm All the wild flowers D A G And the sign said future cite of Camelot Towers
