Take Down the Union Jack (Millennium Song)
Capo wherever you like.
I believe the recording is in the key of C (capo at 5), but I always do A (capo at
2) because I find it easier to sing.
GTake down the Union Jack
It Cclashes Cadd9with the Gsunset
And Dput it in the Amattic
With the CEmperors old cGlothes
GWhen did it fall apart ?
CSometime Cadd9in the G80s
When the Ggood and the Amgreat
Gave way to the Cgreedy and the Gmean
FBritain isnt cCool you know
And its rGeally not that gDreat
Its nFot a proper cCountry
It doesnt even hGave a patron sDaint
Its just an eFconomic uCnion
Thats pD#ast its sFell-by dGate
GTake down the Union Jack
It Cclashes Cadd9with the Gsunset
And Dask our Scottish Amneighbours
If indeCpendence looks any Ggood
Cos tGhey just might understand
How to Ctake an Cadd9abstract Gnotion
Of Dpersonal iAmdentity
And turn it Cinto nationGhood
FIs this the 19th CCentury
That Im wGatching on TVD ?
The Fdear old Queen of CEngland
Handing Gout those MDBEs
FMember of the BritishC Empire
That doesn’D#t sound toFo good to Gme
CGilbert and DGeorge
Are taking the Empiss arent they ?
CGilbert and DGeorge are taking the Episs
CWhat could be more DBritish than
Heres a Empicture of me bum
CGilbert and DGeorge are taking the Episs
GTake down the Union Jack
It Cclashes Cadd9with the Gsunset
And Dpile up all those Amhistory books
But Cdont throw them awGay
Cos tGhey just might have a clue
About Cwhat it Cadd9really Gmeans
