The Day That Thatcher Dies

D A G D A

          D                        
We will laugh the day that Thatcher
     A
 dies
                              G
Even though we know it's not right
                            D     A
We will dance and sing all night

        D         A
I was blind in 1979
              G
By '82 I had clues
      D                A
By 1986 I was mad as hell

                  Em               
The teachers at school They took us
       G
 for fools
                        Bm         
'Cause they never taught us what we
           A
 should do
                     Em            
But Christ, we were strong We knew 
       G
all along
               Bm                  
We taught ourselves the right from 
     A
wrong

         G
And the punk rock kids and techno 
kids

           A
Well it's not their fault
           G
And those hip-hop boys and heavy 
metal girls
          A
No, it's not their fault

        D                          
It was love, but Tories don't know 
            A
what that means
                               G
She was Michelle Cox from the lower 
stream
                        D          
She wore high-heeled shoes while 
             A
the rest wore flat soles
          D                        
And the playground taught her how 
      A
to be cruel
                                 G
I talked politics and she called me 
a fool
                         D         
She wrapped an ankle chain 'round 
        A
my left-wing heart

                  Em               
The teachers at school They took us
       G
 for fools
                        Bm         
'Cause they never taught us what we
           A
 should do
                     Em            
But Christ, we were strong We knew 
       G

               Bm                  
We taught ourselves the right from 
     A
wrong

               G
Because those punk rock kids with 
punk rock kicks
          A
Well it's not their fault
               G
And those hip-hop boys and heavy 
metal girls
          A
No, it's not their fault

          D                        
We will laugh the day that Thatcher

Ding dong, the witch is dead
A                                  G
Which old witch? The wicked witch

Ding dong, the witch is dead
      D               A
The wicked witch is dead
