Chords for Billy Bragg : The Few

[C] A night [Am] of baby brotherhood [G] and [F] the [Em] intercity [Am] crew
[C] Fill their pockets up with [Am] calling [G] cards
And [F] paint their faces [Em] red, [Am] white and blue
[C] Then they go out seeking the [E] colour faces
And [Am] anyone else that [F] they can scare
[C] They salute [Am] the poles their fathers [G] fought
While [F] waving their [E] right arms in [A] the air
Now [G] look out my [E] country's patriots
[Am] The hunting down [F]
below
What [C] do [Em] they [F] know of England?
[G] Well [C] only [A] England
[F] From [C] the stands of the Empire [Am] Stadium
[G] Come [F] the [Em] heralds of the new [Am] dark age
[F] With [C] the [G] simplicities [Am] of [G] bigotry
And [Dm] to whom all [G] the [Am] world's a stage
[C] These little [E] John Raw shits
Know [Am] that the press will [F] glorify their breed
So [C] that the [Bm] general public [Am] fear [G] them
And [F] the authorities [Em] say give them [A] all [Am] seats
And [G] the wasted seed [E] of the Buddha breed
[Am] Is chanting here [F] we go
What [C] do [Em] they [F] know of England?
[G] Well only [A] England
[F] [C] Our neighbours shake [Am] their heads [G] to take [Dm] their [Em] valuables [Am] inside
[C] While my countrymen piss [G] in their fountains to [F] express [Em] our national [Am] pride
And [C] to prove to the world [E] that England is [Am] not as rotten [F] as she looks
[C] They repeat the lies [Am] called [G] their [Am] eyes at [Em] school in [Am] history books
But [G] the wars they think [E] they're fighting [Am] were all of a [F] long ago
What [C] do [Em] they [F] know of England?
[G] Well only [A] England
[F] _ [C] _
[G] _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ [C] _
[Am] _ _ [Em] _ [F] [Em] And [Am] _ [C] the society [E] that's for them
[Am] Just cries out [F] who's to blame
[C] And then wraps itself [Am] in a [G] union jack [F] and just [Em] carries on [Am] the same
[G] Look out my [E] country's patriots
[Am] The hunting [F] down below
What _ [C] _ [Em] _ [F] _ [C] do [Em] they [F] know of England?
[C] What do [Em] they [F] know of England?
[G] Well only [A] England
