[Verse 1]

A              C             
You know to be able to run a 
Fmaj7/C               Em     G   
government you need a bloody good 
 A
brain
         C              Fmaj7/C   
To be an MP you must be someone 
    Em          G
well above the common
A               C          
Learn to do the job as you'll 
            Fmaj7/C        
properly you need many many 
    Em   G
qualities
A           C                  
Ordinary mortals can't command 
Fmaj7/C           Em       G    
I will tell you later what they 
    A*
all are

[Chorus]

       E                  Bm      
Stupid fools say it's not hard to 
D         A*
do what I do
           E             Bm       
But let me tell you it's hard you 
         D         A*
couldn't do what I do
      E             Bm           
Don't even dream of it you would 
D        A*
never succeed
           E        Bm          D
People as clever as me are very 
              A
few and far between

                  C                
You know to be in business to run a
 Fmaj7/C            Em          G
 company you really need to use 
    A
your head
                 C                
Show me a man of money and I will 
Fmaj7/C    Em  G A
show you - a genius
          C                     
To get to grips with the ins and 
       Fmaj7/C                 
outs, you all think that it's a 
Em      G
piece of cake
A                   C        
But you know it's taken me many 
         Fmaj7/C       Em   G A*
years and I am very remarkable

[Chorus]

       E                  Bm      
Stupid fools say it's not hard to 
D         A*
do what I do
            E             Bm      
I'm here to tell you it's hard you
          D         A*
 couldn't do what I do
      E             Bm           
Don't even dream of it you would 
D        A*
never succeed
           E        Bm          D
People as clever as me are very 
              A
few and far between...

[Verse 3]

A           C                
So let me assure you it's no 
Fmaj7/C         Em     G       A
picnic to be in charge of this land
            C                
You scruffy people the lower 
Fmaj7/C  Em   G         A
orders - just know your place
               C                
Don't ever you try at governing 
Fmaj7/C                Em   G   
you might find out how difficult
    A*
 it is


[Chorus]

       E                  Bm      
Stupid fools say it's not hard to 
D         A*
do what I do
           E             Bm       
But let me tell you it's hard you 
         D         A*
couldn't do what I do
      E             Bm           
Don't even dream of it you would 
D        A*
never succeed
           E        Bm          D
People as clever as me are very 
              A*
few and far between
        E         Bm     D
(We are not equal but we are 
        A*
different)
        E         Bm             
(It's a dangerous view to say we 
D         A*
are born equal)
            E       Bm         D 
(It don't appeal to any one of 
       A*
the deputies)
               E     Bm     
(You know that equality is an 
    D        A*
impossible dream)
