[Dm] I want to make a [G] personal announcement on the stage.
I'm personally very pleased that
you could all be here today at what remains the biggest [D] single fundraiser for the campaign
for nuclear disarmament.
And I want to thank you personally very much [Gm] for coming out and
making a world good festival.
That's from me personally.
Somebody said to me the other
[G#] day, that Bill, they said if you don't get the old frame [G] into gear, get the old dancing
shoes on and get back onto the [A] top of the pops, you are going to go down in the history
of popular music as [C] a one hit wonder.
And I said, to tell you the truth, to [C#] tell you
the truth mate, I don't care, as long as this [C] is the one hit, this is called [D] Between the Wars.

[Bm] [G] And as [D] times got harder, [E] I looked to the government [D] to help the working man, but [E] they brought
[G] prosperity down at the [B] armory where I'm [G] the peaceful voice [D] between the [G] wars.
[D]
[E] I kept the fight, [G] and I kept [B] marching up for the [G] iron fist, but for [A] the helping hand, for
the [G] [D]
[E] [Bm] [G] [D] people.
[Bm] There's a [G] land of [D] hope and [A] glory, where mine is the queen's field and the factory
[D] floor.
[E] There's a sky [G] filled with [D] American fathers [A] and mine, it's a peace you [G] build [D] between the [G] wars.
[D]
I'm the craftsman, bring me the draftsman, [Bm] build me a path [G] from cradle [A] to grave, [Bm] and I'll
give my [D] consent to any [B] government that does not deny a [G] man [D] a living [B] word.
I'm the [G] young man, never [D] to fight [A] again, I've got balance from the days [D] gone by, so
I'm the leader [G] of the nation, the heart [B] of this nation, the deserts are strong, [G] we are
[D] Between [G] the Wars.
