The Corries – Wholl Take The Ball From Maggie Thatcher (Guitar)

 G                         C
What a friend we have in Maggie

 G                          D
She has proved she really cares

 G                             C
She is our strength and our salvation

  G        D             G
She's the answer to our prayers

   G                                C
[tab] G                  D
Kick it in another goal

                G                        C
Cause there's plenty time for playing football

  G        D            G
When you're living on the dole

 G                                         C
There’s a team in the south they call the tories

      G                          D
For years they have led Division 1

        G               C
In the face of heavy competition

       G      D                 G
They haven’t lost their winning run

   D                                             G
Although they’ve dropped some midfield men fae Scotland

    C        G            D
It has nay upset their strategies

            G                                C
Cause the punters showed a healthy rate of interest

           G         D          G
When they buy shares in their companies

   G                                C
Who'll take the ball from Maggie Thatcher?

 G                  D
Kick it in another goal

                G                        C
Cause there's plenty time for playing football

  G        D            G
When you're living on the dole

 G                            C
Now the tories beat the opposition

       G                          D
The opposition did nay show much sense

            G                               C
Cause they mainly play the ball up tay the left-wing

       G         D            G
And they can be suspect in defence

          D                                G
And they had a bit o trouble with their strikers

     C                   G            D
Who thought they should have a bigger fee

           G                             C
And they chased away a lot of their supporters

           G         D          G
When they showed a militant tendency

   G                                C
Who'll take the ball from Maggie Thatcher?

 G                  D
Kick it in another goal

                G                        C
Cause there's plenty time for playing football

  G        D            G
When you're living on the dole

   G                                C
Who'll take the ball from Maggie Thatcher?

 G                  D
Kick it in another goal

                G                        C
Cause there's plenty time for playing football

  G        D            G
When you're living on the dole

           G                  C
There’s a sad side facing relegation

           G                                  D
Though the top of the league had been their dream

      G                    C
They tried almost every combination

       G        D           G
Even transfers fae another team

      D                                 G
They even took the field and played two captains

      C                 G            D
Who thought they were really on the ball

         G                               C
Just to find when they heard the final whistle

          G    D                   G
They had only gone and ballsed it all

   G                                C
Who'll take the ball from Maggie Thatcher?

 G                  D
Kick it in another goal

                G                        C
Cause there's plenty time for playing football

  G        D            G
When you're living on the dole

           G                        C
There's a cry fae the terraces of Hamden,

           G                      D
When they show the re-run of the game,

         G                                   C
If the scots had played a different set of tactics,

      G         D                 G
The score would no have been the same

            D                                        G
The Tories say they've put the Great back in Great Britain,

         C               G                D
If that helps us, we’ll have to wait and see

          G                                   C
But they might have put the Scot back into Scotland,

      G            D       G
If Scotland had supported SNP

   G                                C
