[D] Doobie doobie [G] doobie, doobie or not [G#] toobie, [G] shoobie doobie [B] doobie Shakespeare
[C]
[N] [G]
[Bm] We are the suffragettes, think you know some fierce girls?
You ain't heard nothing yet!
A lass called Millie Fawcett, [D] founder of our cause, [G#]
started the battle for [G] our rights
[Bm] Argued the government [D] should change the laws, [E]
here is how she stated [Em] our plight
How come girls can't vote for [F#m] rules that we have [D] to obey, [G] when we work and pay [D] taxes too?
[Em]
Parliament's reaction [D] was, oh do go away!
[G] How dare they diss the suffrage [A] crew?
[D]
Suffragettes say [F#m] we're gone and [Bm]
peaceful protests started [G] in 1903
[D]
Got no reaction [F#m] needed, traffic action [Bm] got a new leader, Emily [G] Hancock That's [B] me
Stand [Bm]
to [D] Parliament's shout and vote for women, [E]
actions that were shocking [G] and new
[Bm]
Chained ourselves to palace [D] gates, tension was brimming, [G#] our name now [G] WSPU
[Em]
Burned down churches, smashed up [D] shops, attacked MPs, [G] the result we were thrown [F#m] in jail
[Em] This made us more determined [Bm] as you'll come [D] to see, [G] think we give a fighting, hey [A] fail!
Dems [D]
came [F#m] together, [Bm] in prison we protested, [G] when our [D] hunger strike, may still stand us over
[C#] We just said yo, [Bm] you won't stop us [G] now
Miss Davison, please take the [Bm] mic
We became more [G] extreme, Derby day, June [D] 13, in front of King and [A] Queen
Committed [B] sacrifice, we bring, crept unseen between the [G] teaming crowds watching the race
[Dm] And threw myself under a horse to try and make our case
[Em]
Became a famous martyr, [F#m] [F#] how did men react?
[D] We can't give women votes, if they're so stupid they'll do that
[Bm]
Seemed our cause was lost [D] when World War came along, [E] a suffragette [G] reaction
[Bm] Was to wave our protest [D] goodbye, it felt well so long, [E] took patriotic [G] action
[Em] Put down our banners, say and [D] give us votes instead, [G]
supported the men
[D] We [Em]
worked to help them win the [D] war, so guess what they said
Okay ladies, [A] you were right
[D]
Start protesting, [F#m] we've done it ding ding
[Bm] And let those men who see, they [G] should dream of the same
[D] So all take, [F#m] [Bm] and it's thanks to those who fought [G] in the suffragette [A] league
