F C Dm G you're asking what makes me sigh now F C Dm G what it is makes me shudder so F well I just freeze in the wind C Dm G and I'm numb from the pummeling of the snow F C Dm G that falls from high in yellow skies F C Dm G where the well loved flag of england flies F C Dm G Where the homes are warm and the mothers sigh F C Dm where comedians laugh and babies cry G F where criminals are televised politicians fraternized C Dm7 journalists are dignified and everyone is civilised G F C Dm and children stare with heroin eyes, heroin eyes, heroin eyes G Old England!
