The cGountryside is dying
They're G/F#closing village stores
While sChepherds watched their flocks by night
The gGovernment burn them aDll
And hAmere's another post office
With boCards aDcross the dooGr
Now the rGich folks came from london
To G/F#breathe the cleaner air
They lCisten to The Archers
Buy new bGarbours, grow their haiDr
AmThen they buy up all the houses
So country people born-and-bred
CCan't afDford to liGve there
Now the CGountryside Alliance
We'll G/F#call them 'the cunts' for short
They pCromised in defiance
That a baGttle would be foDught
Then they iAmgnored the real issues
And just shCout about thDeir bloody sGport
And you can cCall it a betrayal well it lGooks like that to Dme
And you can cCall it bad behaviour or a wGaste of time and Dmoney
And I've Cnever been in favour of poGlice brutaliDty
But when the hEmuntsman comes a-marchin'
You giCve him oDne for Gme, officer, giCve him oDne for Gme.
Now the cGunts have come to London
To G/F#show us all what for:
CThere were only 20 thousand of them
GMarching down through WhitDehall
But thAmey were such a bunch of thugs
AmAnd the police arrested more
Than when 2 million normal people
CMarched agDainst the wGar
And you can cCall it a betrayal well it lGooks like that to Dme
And you can cCall it bad behaviour or a wGaste of time and Dmoney
And I've Cnever been in favour of poGlice brutaliDty
But when the hEmuntsman comes a-marchin'
You giCve him oDne for Gme, officer, giCve him oDne for Gme.
Where were Emyou when the miAmners fought to sCave their liveliGhoods?
You were dEmressed up in red Amvelvet somewhere dCeep in the wGoods
You lEmoved the fucking Ampoll tax, you pCropped up Maggie ThGatcher
And you dEmidn't give a fuck about AmTony Blair
'Til he tChrew your hobby back at yGa.
The Gcountryside is dying
SomeG/F# say it's already dead
And the hCuntsman's got a boner as the doGgs rip the fox to sDhreds
Then he sAmmears the blood on his daughter's face
And dCrags her baDck to bGed.
And you can cCall it a betrayal well it lGooks like that to Dme
And you can cCall it bad behaviour or a wGaste of time and Dmoney
And I've Cnever been in favour of poGlice brutaliDty
But when the hEmuntsman comes a-marchin'
You giCve him oDne for Gme, officer, giCve him oDne for Gme.
