When punk rock [Gm] first descended on London like another dark winter,
those of us who were in bands who had spent three or four years pretending to be the Rolling Stones
suddenly had to cut our hair and learn to play the punk rock standard songs.
And those songs were Gloria, [E]
[A] pretty [E] simple three chord wonder,
[Ab] Gloria had to play, Louis Luy, [E]
but [Bm] [A] [G] gigs [Ab]
with the jam, then you also, indeed,
you also had to be able to play Route 66.
But unfortunately for us in London,
as I'm sure is similar for you here, slow it down.
We listened, we lived,
well, only many, [Bb] many years [D] later when I, [Ab]
unfortunately, Route 66, I decided to,
I was very lucky that I was born in a town that had a road nearby.
So I decided to write in the small part of London where I lived.
[Abm]
Ever been where this road goes, which is from London to South End on Sea in Essex.
So [D] I want you to come with me in the spirit of [Ab] Woodstock,
in [A] international solidarity, come with me, Billy [Gm] Bragg on wings [Em] of song,
as I take you down the A13, to the [A] street.
When you [D] ever have to [A] shoot remiss, [D] take the A road, the okay road.
[A]
Go [E] marching on the [A] A13.
[E]
[A] When you're [D] looking for a few [A] less than, [D] taking it forwards,
top of the tunnel [A] and the river too, go [E] marching [D] on the [A] A13.
[A] Start standing, whopping, yeah, ain't stopping, bypass parking and straight through,
dragging [D] them down to Graysborough [A] and rather near Basildon.
Bitsy, funnestly, add me, little C, talk it well,
get you up South End to the end of Yonge.
[D] Ever go, as you [A] remiss, [D]
take the A road, the okay road, [A] that's the best.
Go [E] marching [G] on the [A] A13.
