Pack up what you own,
        B6                 C#m
and you dial up who you can phone,
        D#m              C#m
and you save up all your pennies,
       D#m                     C#m
and we hope but, oh -- is there any 
--
       D#m            C#m         
and we wonder, oh, how can he put 
          E6
you out tonight?

B5             C#5
Go back in your mind,
B5              C#5
twenty years in time,
         D#m                       
and we’ll go a-walking through your
 C#m
 garden;
        D#m                      
see the trees you planted in your 
     C#m
yard then.
         D#m                     
All your work, it didn’t seem so 
C#m
hard then,
Continues after the ad
               E
but it’s hard tonight.


B5                C#5
Five years further on,
         B5                       
from the stage it looked like we’d
C#5
 won,
       D#m                         
but how many of those who heard you
 C#m
 play
     D#m                   C#m
have gone their insouciant ways?
        D#m                       
And the streets run bloody to this
C#m
 day,
                 E6
and to your house tonight.


     D#m        C#m
And we, still so touched,
       D#m            C#m
can we offer you that much
       D#m             C#m
more than those who you fought
         D#m         C#m
and who left you with nought,
       E6  D#m
and who lied to you?
    E6     D#m
They lied to you
    E6             D#m
but this you always knew.


     B6                  C#m
So pack up your bulls and smalls,
          B6                       
and we’ll tack up your painting on 
   C#m
our walls,
          D#m                     
and we’ll write down all our songs
C#m
 then,
          D#m              C#m
and we’ll right up all our wrongs 
then,
         D#m                   
and we’ll tear up the streets a 
         C#m
million strong then,
             E6
in your name tonight.
