[Eb] [Bb]
[F] [Bb] My neighbours don't drink at [F] the local, [Bb] or have kippers for breakfast [F] like me.
[Cm] The food they eat [Eb] smells disgusting, [Cm] they'd rather drink coffee [F] than tea.
[Bb] It's true that their kids are [F] respectful, they [Bb] gave me their seat [F] on the bus.
But [Cm] it's just that there's so many [Eb] of them, [Cm] that I fear what'll become [F] of us.
I'm [Gm] not racist, [D] all I want is [Eb] to make things how they [Bb] used to be.
[F]
[Gm] But change [D] is strange and [Eb] nobody's listening [Bb] to me.
[F]
[Bb] I cheered when our side [F] won the Cold War, [Bb] spread freedom and peace [F] all around.
Now [Cm] there's folks speaking Russian [Eb] in Tesco's, [Cm] it's a shame the wall had to [F] come down.
[Bb] I know some are fleeing [F] from war zones, [Bb] to keep their young children [F] from harm.
But [Cm] my parents stayed put [Eb] through the bleachers, [Cm] and me, I was sent to [F] a farm.
Yeah [Gm] the sun shines, [D] but sometimes I [Eb] don't feel like this is my [Bb] country.
[F]
But [Gm] to say so, [D] oh no, [Eb] I never get no [Bb] sympathy.
[F]
[Bb] Once we ruled over [F] an empire, [Bb] so it feels like some kind [F] of defeat.
[Cm] To comply with rules drawn up by [Eb] a stranger, [Cm] and measure in metres [F] not feet.
[Bb] We don't want to go but [F] by jingo, [Bb] if we can't be in charge [F] then we must.
[Cm] But don't be offended [Eb] dear neighbour, it's [Cm] not you, this is all [F] about us.
[Gm] But it's alright, [D] alright, [Eb] I think I've found a [Bb] remedy.
[F]
[Gm] Yes it's alright, [D] gonna be alright, [Eb] it's a full English Brexit [Bb] for me.
