Dignity

D  Dsus2  G  A

[Verse 1]
D                          Dsus2
There`s a man I meet, walks up our 
street,
G                              A
He`s a worker for the council, has 
been twenty years
D                               
And he takes no lip off nobody, 
Dsus2
and litter off the gutter,
G                    A
Puts it in a bag, and never thinks 
to mutter
D                                 
And he packs his lunch in a 
           Dsus2
Sunblest bag, The children call him 
Bogie,
G                     A
He never lets on, but I know `cause 
he once told me
D                                
He let me know a secret, about 
Dsus2
the money in his kitty,
G                            A   
He`s gonna buy a dinghy, gonna 
               D  Dsus2  G  A
call her Dignity

[Chorus]
G                                 
And I`ll sail her up the west 
          A
coast, through villages and towns,
F#m                     Bm
I`ll be on my holidays, they`ll be 
doing their rounds

G                                 
They`ll ask me how I got her, I`ll
      A
 say, I saved my money
F#m                               
They`ll say isn`t she pretty, that
   Bm F#m    G    A   D
 ship called Dignity

[Verse 2]
D                           Dsus2
And I'm telling this story, in a 
faraway scene
G                      A
Sipping down Raki, and reading 
Maynard Keynes
D                            
And I'm thinking about home, and all
Dsus2
 that means
G                            
And a place in the winter, for 
  A       D  Dsus2  G  A
Dignity

[Chorus]
G                                 
And I`ll sail her up the west 
          A
coast, through villages and towns,
F#m                     Bm
I`ll be on my holidays, they`ll be 
doing their rounds
G                                 
They`ll ask me how I got her, I`ll
      A
 say, I saved my money
F#m                               
They`ll say isn`t she pretty, that
   Bm F#m    G    A   D
 ship called Dignity

D                                 
Set it up, set it up, set it up,

D                          Dsus2  
And I'm thinking about home
G  A

D                           Dsus2 
And I'm thinking about faith
 G  A

D                          Dsus2  
And I'm thinking about work
G  A

D                     Dsus2
And I'm thinking, how good it would 
be
      G            A
To be here some day
D                           Dsus2
On a ship called Dignity, a ship 
               G
called Dignity
A
That ship...
