Nerina Pallot - English

Oh you love to be En^Aglish And all you ^C7think it is The queen and her guards taking ^Fmaj7tea But the ^Bm7hatred and the b^Eigotry won't ^Ago away

No ^C7blacks, no Irish Bring no dogs, the ^Fmaj7shame Of ^Bm7being something o^Ether than the

^FSame as everyone ^Gelse Well I don't want to ^Abe like you But my skin is so ^Fmaj7pale My manners so f^Gine You think that I am j^Aust like you^{Asus4 A}

And you're frightened to t^Aravel 'Til you ^C7make the world look just the same as ^Fmaj7home While your k^Bm7ids buy guns And ^Eshoot their friends and d^Aie alone

No ^C7mind, no judgement lets you take the ^Fmaj7blame Send those b^Bm7loody strangers b^Eack from where they

^Fmaj7Came, does that mean me ^Gtoo? I'm a mother in her s^Amall red coat Stepping o^Aff the boat Doing j^Aobs you're too damn lazy to ^Fmaj7All this greatness gone to waste Your ^Ghide your eyes and turn your face And ^Anothing ever changes,^A7 no ^ANothing ever changes So k^Fmaj7eep your bulldogs, keep your flags Coz t^Galk is cheap and time will drag and ^ANothing ever changes, ^A7no ^ANothing ever changes

I will always be E^Anglish And all I ho^C7pe it is These shores I will claim as my ^F6own This ^Bm7broken-down Jer^Eusalem, You're still my h^Aome
