Great song, written by Chris TT but often covered by frank, as i prefer franks version i thought id put it up under him! Capo II (EVERYTHING RELEVANT TO CAPO!) standard tuning EADGBe INTRO G(hammer on the E string) then on the A string slide whilst strumming from 3 to 5 to 7 and back to three. (play around with it)

^GThe countryside is dying ^G/F#They're closing village stores ^CWhile shepherds watched their flocks by night ^GThe government burned them a^Dll ^AmAnd here's another post office With^C boar^Gds across the door^D

^GThe people from the city came ^G/F#To breathe the cleaner air ^CThey listen to The Archers Buy new c^Goats and grow their h^Dair ^AmThen they buy up all the houses So country people born-and-bred ^CCan't af^Gford to live^D there

^GNow the Countryside Alliance ^G/F#We'll call them 'the cunts' for short ^CThey promised in defiance That a ba^Gttle would be fo^Dught Then i^Amgnored the real problems To shout ab^Cout their bl^Goody sp^Dort

^CCall it a betrayal - it l^Gooks like that to ^Dme ^CCall it bad behaviour and ^Ga waste of time a^Dnd money ^CI've never been in favour ^Gof police brutali^Dty But when the h^Emuntsman comes a-marchin' Well g^Cive h^Dim one ^Gfor me, officer, giv^Ce him on^De fo^Gr me.

^GNow the cunts have come to London ^G/F#To give us all what for: ^CThere were only 20 thousand of them ^GMarching down through Whit^Dehall But th^Amey were such a bunch of thugs ^AmThe police arrested more Than when 2 million normal people ^CMarched ag^Gainst the w^Dar

^CCall it a betrayal - looks ^Glike that to m^De ^CCall it bad behaviour and a ^Gwaste of time ^Dand money ^CI've never been in favour of ^Gpolice brut^Dality But when the h^Emuntsman comes a-marchin' Well gi^Cve him on^De for m^Ge, officer, gi^Cve him o^Dne for m^Ge.

Where were^Em you when the mi^Amners fought to sav^Ce their livel^Gihoods? Dressed ^Emup in red velve^Amt somewhere de^Cep in the wo^Gods You l^Emoved the fucking ^Ampoll tax, you p^Cropped up Margaret ^GThatcher And you d^Emidn't give a fuc^Amk about Tony Blair 'Til he t^Chrew your hobby back at y^Ga.

^GThe countryside is dying ^G/F#Some say it's already dead And the hu^Cntsman has a boner as the do^Ggs pull it to sh^Dreds Then he w^Amipes the blood on his daughter's face And d^Crags her ba^Gck to b^Ded.

^CCall it a betrayal - looks^G like that to ^Dme ^CCall it bad behaviour and a^G waste of time ^Dand money ^CAnd I've never been in favo^Gur of police br^Dutality But when the h^Emuntsman comes a-marchin' Well give hi^Cm on^De for m^Ge, officer, gi^Cve hi^Dm one for^G me.
