There are only a handful of chords in this song, but it's important to get the rhythm
& timing right to get an accurate sound. Practise along with the song; it helps!
Here's the chords if you need them:
e|---G3--- |---Em0--- |---Am0--- |---C0--- |---D2---
b|---3--- |---0--- |---1--- |---1--- |---3---

one thing to note beforehand is that in the song the G & E minor chords are linked
by two notes; G & F#. this link should be played as follows:
e|---3-------0---
b|---3-------0---
g|---0-------0--- and so on. this is the case every time these two chords
d|---0-------2--- are played together. let the G chord ring on as you
a|---2-------2--- fret the two notes, and play them strongly.

G pushing through the market square
Em so many mothers sighing
Am news had just come over, we have
C Five years left of crying
G news guy wept and told us
he said Emearth, was really dying
Am cried so much his face was wet
then i knewC, he was not lying
i heard tGelephones, opera house, favourite melodies
there were Emboys toys, electric guns and TVs
mCy brain hurt like a warehouse, it had no room to spare
i had to Amcram so many things to store everything in there
and all the fatC, skinny people
Am and all the tall shortC, people
Am and all the nobody peoGple
C and all the somebody peoDple
never thought i'd need, so many Ampeople C
G girl my age went off her head
Em hit some tiny children
Am and if the black hadn't have pulled her off
then i tChink, she would have killed them
G soldier with a broken arm
Em used to stare into the wheels of a cadillac
Am cop knelt to kiss the feet of a priest
and a qCueer threw up at the sight of that, well
G think i saw you in an ice-cream parlour
Em drinking milkshakes cold and long
Amsmiling and waving and looking so fine
C don't think you knew you were in this song
Gand it was cold, and it rained, so i felt like an actor
Emand i thought of ma, and i wanted to get back there
Amyour face, your waist, the way that you talk
C i miss you you're beautiful
G we got five years stuck on my eyes
Em five years, what a surprise, we got
Am five years, my brain hurts alot
C five years, that's all we got
G (ending chords are Gs)
we got, five years
