LAm DO SOL LAm
There are soldiers marching on the common today
DO FA DO
They were there again this evening
LAm SOL
They paced up and down like sea birds on the ground
LAm SOL LAm
Before the storm clouds gathering
LAm DO SOL LAm
I must buy whatever tinned food is left on the shelves
DO FA DO
They are testing the air raid sirens
LAm SOL
They've filled up the blood banks and emptied the beds
LAm SOL LAm
At the hospital and the asylum
LAm DO SOL LAm
I saw a man build a shelter in his garden today
DO FA DO
And we stood there idly chatting
LAm SOL
He said: "No, no I don't think war will come"
LAm SOL LAm
Yet still he carried on digging
LAm DO SOL LAm
Everything in my life that I love
DO FA DO
Could be swept away without warning
LAm SOL
Yet the birds still sing and the church bells ring
LAm SOL LAm
And the sun came up this morning
LAm SOL
Life goes on as it did before
LAm SOL LAm
As the country drifts slowly to war
