Tuning: E A D G B E

"The Soldiers Of The Old Home Guard" is a song from the movie/musical "Bedknobs and Broomsticks" (1971). This it a typical march, so use your guitar as a snare-drum. Keep the beat up. The outro is transposed half a note up. I deliberatly did not work this out, so everyone can play it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UCqmA-su4pg |Intro| |D |D |E |A |D |G |G |G | |D |D |E |D |G |D |G D | [Verse 1]

They’re s^Dailing for Engl^Gand - ^DOh! What a shame! Someone is aft^Ger our ^Aisland again We’ll let them have it… - ^DOh, yes we will! But m^Eaybe they won’t want it when they g^Aet the bill! For ^Dwe wrote the stor^Gy ^Dof the old brigades We know the glor^Gy of y^Aesterday’s parades We’re sell them blighty ^Dyard by yard They'll b^Guy it from the ^Gold H^Dome G^Guard! - They Will! They'll b^Guy it from the ^Gold H^Dome G^Guard!

[Verse 2]

So, c^Dall out the nav^Gy, c^Dall out the ranks Call out the air f^Gorce, c^Aall out the tanks. From the cliffs of Dover c^Dall up the Gulls And d^Eon’t forget the loyal Territ^Aorials! But, w^Dho’s digging in h^Gere? W^Dho will defend? Every inch of Engl^Gand, no m^Aatter what they send? Who’s standing firm in our o^Dwn front yard? The s^Goldiers of the ^Gold H^Dome G^Guard - That’s Who! The s^Goldiers of the ^Gold H^Dome G^Guard.

[Capo 1 Key change D#] [Outro]

For ^Dwe wrote the stor^Gy ^Dof the old brigades We know the glor^Gy of y^Aesterday’s parades Who’s standing firm in our o^Dwn front yard? The s^Goldiers of the ^Gold h^Dome g^Guard - That’s Who! The s^Goldiers of the ^Gold h^Dome g^Guard.
