Waiting For The Great Leap Forwards Chords by Billy Bragg

_ It _ [E] _ _ [C#m] _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
[C#m] _ _ _ _ [E] _ may have [G#m] been Camelot for [C#m] Jack and [B] Jaclyn,
[E] But on the Jaguar [B] on my way, filling up with [B] gasoline. _
[E] Fidel [B] Castro's brother's fighting, [C#m] which lady [B] is crying?
I'm [E] a luxury disappointment, so he [C#m] walks over,
[B] And he's trying [A] to [B] survive with her,
But [E] he thinks that he should want [A] her,
But the third world [B] is around the corner.
_ _ _ _ [C#m] _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ [C#m] _
_ _ _ _ [E] The soldier, dear _ [C#m] scientist, is [B] blinded
[E] By the resumption [B] of nuclear [C#m] testing,
And he is [B] reminded [A] that Dr.
Robert [B] _ [E] Oppenheimer's _ [C#m] Optimism [A] failed.
_ [B] The first [E] hurt, _
[D#m] _ _ [C#m] _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ [D#m] _ _ [C#m] _ _ _ _
[E] with the cheese [D#] pavilion,
And the [C#m] only noise [B] I hear,
[E] Is the sound of [D#] someone snacking [C#m] chairs and mopping up [B] spilled beer,
[A] And someone [B] asking questions,
[E] And one's basking in the light [A] of a fifty-pane [B] building,
And the [E] man's looking right [D#m] down.
_ [C#m] _
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _ [D#m] _ _
[C#m] _ _ _ _ _ It's in [E] pop and politics, [C#] he asks me [B] what do you see,
[E] I offer [B] him embarrassment and [C#m] my usual [B] excuses,
[A] While looking down the corridor,
After [E] where the man is waiting,
I'm looking for [B] the great [E] leap [D#m] forward. _
_ [C#m] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ [G#m] _
_ _ [C#m] _ _ _ [E] Jump on sound, you're organised, [C#m] handprints have [B] been posted,
[E] You know even after [B] closing time, [C#m] there's still party,
[B] To me I said [A] you can't be active,
[B] We [E] activists must keep every leader by [A] the way,
I'm looking [B] for the great [E] leap forward.
_ [A] I want leap forward, [B] to the back of [E] politics,
You can't beat us, I'm looking for the [B] great leap [B] forward.
[A] When it comes to future and you can't possibly,
[B] You've got a blank list of the one and the only,
[A] I'm looking for [B] the great [E] leap forward. _
[A] Step out to the [B] bed, move the bed, you say,
Step out there with B.B. [A] Shears,
Hey, [B] it's the great [E] leap forward. _
[A] When it's a night on [B] White Dan,
Drop the [E] low, drop the low, drop the low,
We're going for [F#m] it, we're all right,
[B] It's the great [E] leap forward. _
[A] If you know what I [B] did, I'm just [E] saying,
The revolution's about to happen, [A] we know where that's headed,
[B] The great [E] leap forward. _
[A] In a perfect [B] world we're all speaking [Em] to,
Back it up, it's a good time, give me some [A] room,
I'm looking [B] for the great [E] leap [C#] forward. _
[A] I'm not going to [B] struggle while you fight,
[E] Revolution is a good thing, you [A] know why?
[B] The great [E] leap forward. _
[A] White Dan, [B] the great [E] leap _ _ _
[A] _ _ [B] _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ [B] _ forward. _ _ _
[A] White Dan, [B] the great [E] leap forward. _ _
