F         C
G         Am

[Verse 1]
F     C
Gold, let it unfold
    G                             Dm  Am
And imagine you're dressed in gold
F                 C               G
Roaring crowds in Manchester will manage to be told

[Pre-Chorus]
    Dm       Am                C
Oh, and your king, the boy you loved in spring
G            D
 The way she looks at him
E/F          Am                C               G
The common goal, and waiting for the kids to go




[Chorus]
    F          C                          G
But we've been held back for after-school meetings
        Dm     Am     F
They've got it in for me
    C
For all it's worth
    G              Am
The key to life on Earth

F       C                  G
Jokers, happy go xenophobe locals
     Dm     Am     F
Have got it in for me
    C
For all I'm worth
    G              Am
The key to life on Earth


[Instrumental]
F         C
G         Dm    Am
F         C
G         Am



[Verse 2]
F           C
 Holy smokes
          G             Dm   Am
 You kids and your jokes
        F                 C                  G                 Am
 Asking where we got our jeans and where the hell we found our coats
              F                      C                  G            Dm    Am
 'Cause dirty streets these days are graced by Nikes of black and green
                F           C               G
 And headstrong boys in chinos barely grasp what that could mean


[Pre-Chorus]
    Dm   Am                C
And they lie, the men that wrung us dry
    G        D
The boys who poked your eye
E/F        Am                C                  G
The common fool, the walk to school for you and I


[Chorus]
    F          C                          G
But we've been held back for after-school meetings
        Dm     Am     F
They've got it in for me
    C
For all it's worth
    G              Am
The key to life on Earth

    F               C                       G
The thing is, these out-of-touch scrounging rich kids
    Dm     Am       F
Are living here for free
   C
On my home turf
    G              Am
The key to life on Earth


*INSTRUMENTAL*
F         C
G         Dm     Am
F         C
G         Am


[Verse 4]
F          C                  G
Call in to wake you up in the morning
Dm        Am           C                 G
Iron your suit and tie forever until you die
     F            C                   G      Dm      Am       F
Join forces, like carousels and their horses forever spinning 'round
    C                 G       Am
And never coming down


[Outro]
F                           C
Come out and join us honey, we will sort you out
G                                Dm      Am
Come work in Brookfield Park and we will shut your mouth
F                             C
Come work in Sainsbury's babe until you've had enough
G                         Dm           Am
Come on out, come on out, come on out, come on out
F                           C
Come out and join us honey, we will sort you out
G                                Dm      Am
Come work in Brookfield Park and we will shut your mouth
F                             C
Come work in Sainsbury's babe until you've had enough
G                         Dm           Am
Come on out, come on out, come on out, come on out
