Dial Up Tab uke di Ted Leo

B6               C#
Pack up what you own,
        B6                 C#
and you dial up who you can phone,
        Ebm              C#
and you save up all your pennies,
       Ebm                     C#
and we hope but, oh -- is there any --
       Ebm            C#                   E6
and we wonder, oh, how can he put you out tonight?

B7             C#7
Go back in your mind,
B7              C#7
twenty years in time,
         Ebm                        C# 
and we'll go a-walking through your garden;
        Ebm                           C#
see the trees you planted in your yard then.
         Ebm                     C#
All your work, it didn't seem so hard then,
               e
but it's hard tonight.


B7                C#7
Five years further on,
         B7                       C#7
from the stage it looked like we'd won,
       Ebm                          C#
but how many of those who heard you play
     Ebm                   C#
have gone their insouciant ways?
        Ebm                       C#
And the streets run bloody to this day,
                 E6                   
and to your house tonight.


     Ebm        C#
And we, still so touched,
       Ebm            C#
can we offer you that much
       Ebm             C#
more than those who you fought
         Ebm         C#
and who left you with nought,
       E6  Ebm
and who lied to you?
    E6     Ebm
They lied to you
    E6             Ebm
but this you always knew.


     B6                  C#
So pack up your bulls and smalls,
          B6                          C#
and we'll tack up your painting on our walls,
          Ebm                     C#
and we'll write down all our songs then,
          Ebm              C#
and we'll right up all our wrongs then,
         Ebm                            C#
and we'll tear up the streets a million strong then,
             E6
in your name tonight.
