[Verse]

                    A
Oh you love to be English
            C7
And all you think it is
                                Fmaj7
The queen and her guards taking tea
        Bm7             E            A
But the hatred and the bigotry won't go away

   C7
No blacks, no Irish
                   Fmaj7
Bring no dogs, the shame
   Bm7              E
Of being something other than the

[Chorus]

F                G
Same as everyone else
                     A
Well I don't want to be like you
                  Fmaj7
But my skin is so pale
               G
My manners so fine
                     A           Asus4 A
You think that I am just like you

[Verse]

                          A
And you're frightened to travel
         C7                                   Fmaj7
'Til you make the world look just the same as home
            Bm7
While your kids buy guns
    E                        A
And shoot their friends and die alone

   C7                                   Fmaj7
No mind, no judgement lets you take the blame
            Bm7              E
Send those bloody strangers back from where they

[Chorus]

Fmaj7                   G
Came, does that mean me too?
                     A
I'm a mother in her small red coat
          A
Stepping off the boat
       A
Doing jobs you're too damn lazy to
Fmaj7
All this greatness gone to waste
     G
Your hide your eyes and turn your face
    A                    A7
And nothing ever changes, no
A
Nothing ever changes
    Fmaj7
So keep your bulldogs, keep your flags
     G
Coz talk is cheap and time will drag and
A                     A7
Nothing ever changes, no
A
Nothing ever changes

                  A
I will always be English
            C7
And all I hope it is
                                F6
These shores I will claim as my own
     Bm7            E
This broken-down Jerusalem,
                 A
You're still my home
