I'm an FEnglish boyBb Bb C I was brought up right Hold me down and I will bite I know no fear, I serve with joy I'm proud to be here, an English boy
[verse]
I C#7sus2feel like a stray dog D7sus2 E7Blurred like a movie F7 You say you've C#7sus2come to arrest mD7sus2e But you're E7just trying to test mF7e
I'm bored with your prejudice spreading like a fever Your promises to train me are just attempts to restrain me [repeat chorus] I am an English boy, precisely made You can pin me down, I am not afraid I show no fear, I will serve with joy I'm proud to be here, an English boy [repeat verse] Use me like a headline, cut pieces to pieces I'm black on the tube line, red on the touch-line Freezing up a future, stopping every stopwatch You say we're moving like an oilslick, thicker than a housebrick [bridge]
I'm an FEnglish bEbadd9oy, I was Bbbrought up Bbmaj7right If you raise your dress, then I will bite My voice is clear, I got perfect poise Good to Fbe down Ebadd9here with all the BbEnglish Bbmaj7boys
Eb/Bb And I don't know Bbwhere I am know orF/Bb where I'm gonna Bbgo I keep going Cm7/Abround and round on the Circle LBbine Like some demented kind of coFmmuter trying to avoid Bbpaying for my ticket Eb/F I'm a Clost soul,F I read about myself in the nCewspapers I'm a F/Cpig, I'm a Cthug, I've got Cnowhere to go but F5down
[repeat intro] [repeat verse] Feel like I'm kicking at a dead man, kicking in the chorus I'm broken by hatred, while politicians just ignore us You never gave me any value, you didn't give me any reason There's no tools and no toys for any English boys [repeat chorus] I'm an English boy, I was brought up right Hold me down and I will bite I know no fear, I will serve with joy I'm proud to be here, an English boy, yeah... [outro]
I'm an FEnglish Ebadd9boy, yeah.Bb.. Bbmaj7 No tools, no toys for any English boys
