          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] | Bm | Bm | Bm | Bm | [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
