And a Brummie won't stay ^Ddown I've worked from dawn, to the sun next morn

With a shovel and a pick and a deal of brawn

I ^Gput the bullring there I built Victoria ^Dsquare

I saw the nobs give tips with bobs

And I thought I'd get my ^Gshare

---------------------- CHORUS *******

Well, you ^Cmight say I'm ^Gnouveau Not ^Cfit to mix with ^Ggentry But ^Cif you make a ^Gshow It's ^Cmoney gains you ^Gentry I've ^Cgot my country ^Ghome My ^Ccarriages and ^Ghorses I ^Cmight be ^Gnouveau, ^Ambut I'm ^Griche ^DPlaying the market ^Gforces ^C ^G ^Am ^G ^D ^G

--------------------- VERSE 2 ******** Well, a labourer's just a fool

A pawn and a boss's ^Dtool So, I cast my mind and what did I find?

Well, I found me a golden rule

Give ^Godds of six to four Ten to one the ^Ddraw

They'll bet all day, they'll always pay

And then come back for ^Gmore

---------------------- CHORUS *******

--------------------- VERSE 3 ******** Well, it must be god's good plan

So, I take it all I ^Dcan The chapel gate, the silver plate

Were bought by this god-fearing man

And my ^Gson will have it all The pub, the lodge, the ^Dhall

He's an empire lad just like his dad

And he's heard his country's ^Gcall

--------------------- CHORUS *******

Well, they ^Cmight say he's ^Gnouveau Not ^Cfit to mix with ^Ggentry But I ^Cgave him such a ^Gshow My ^Cmoney bought him ^Gentry He's ^Cgot the best there ^Gis In ^Cuniforms and ^Ghorses He ^Cmight be ^Gnouveau, ^Ambut he's ^Griche And an ^Dofficer in the ^Gforces ^C ^G ^Am ^G ^D ^G

--------------------- VERSE 4 ******** He's smart, that lad of mine

He'll serve his country ^Dfine The Kaiser dreams of war it seems

But he'd better toe the line

Oh, ^Gwar would bring us hell But jobs of work as ^Dwell

Be it gun or blade, it's Brummie made

And we live by what we^G sell Be it ^Dgun or blade, it's Brummie made And we live by what we^G sell

He's smart, that lad of mine

He'll ^Dkeep out of the line

ENJOY..............
