Chords for Billy Bragg 'Which Side Are You On' and 'Between the Wars' live

And of course now _ _ Margaret Thatcher will never know our breaking bad ends.
_ _ _ You'll _ _ _ _ _ _ see a lot of stuff written about her in obituaries [Dm] tomorrow morning.
_ I'm sure Stephen Arp has already stepped up to [N] say how great she was.
_ [F] _ _ _ [D#] But ultimately,
[N] _ _ _ ultimately, _ _ _
she has to be judged by the manner of her
_ passing.
Not today, but back in 1990.
If you don't know,
Margaret Thatcher wasn't voted out of office by the British people.
She wasn't defeated in _ an election.
She was [Fm] thrown out of [Gm] power by her [N] own cabinet,
_ by her own party, and now trying to tell us that she was a great leader.
She was such a divisive person _ in my country that she even
divided her own [D] people.
That [A] is her true legacy.
[Am] _ _ [D] _ _ [Am] _ _
_ _ _ [B] _ _ [Am] _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ [Am] _ _ _ [Dm] _
_ [F] _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ This government [G] I [Am] deny to you, [F] Parliament made in [Am]
law.
[G] It's like it's [Am] illegal [Dm]
[F] to fight for the unions _ [Am] anymore.
And which [G] side [Am] are you on?
_ [F] _
Which side [Am] are you on?
_ [G] Which side are [Am] you on?
_ [F] Which side [Am] are you on?
_ [G] _ [Am] They _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ [Am] _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ [Am] _ _ _
[Dm] _ [F] _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ set [B] off to join the [Am] wicked lions.
[F] Together we [Am] cannot fail.
Got [G] stopped by police [Am] at the county line.
They said [Dm] go home boys or you'll go in the jail.
[Am] And which [G] side are you [Am] on? _
[F] Which side are [Am] you on? _
Which [G] side [Am] are you on?
_ [F] _ Which side are [Am] you on?
_ [G] _
_ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ [Am] _
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _ [Am] _ _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ [Am] _ _ Well, it's hard [G] to explain [A] to a crying [Dm] child why her daddy [Am] won't go back.
So the [G] family suffer [F] but it hurts me more to hear a scab saying,
Son, [Am] you jacked!
Which [G] side [Am] are you on?
_ [F] _ Which side [Am] are you on? _
_ [G] Which side [Am] are you on? _
Which side are you on? _
[G] _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
[Am] _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ [Am] _
_ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ [Am] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ I'm bound [Dm] upon [A] my conscience [Dm] and I'll [Am] go wherever I can.
But it would take [G] much [Am] more than a union [F] lord to knock the fight out [Am] of a working man.
And [G] which side [Am] are you on?
_ [F] Which side [Am] are you on? _
_ [G] Which side [Am] are you on? _
Which side are you on?
Which [G] side are [Am] you on?
_ [F] Which side [Am] are you on?
_ Which [G] side [Am] are you on?
_ _ [F] Which side are [Am]
you on?
I _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [N] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ see.
Thank you.
The nice _ _ [C#] woman from [N] _ _
CBC, _ Anything Goes, Anything Happens, As It Happens, there you go, As It Happens,
the nice _ _ _ _ lady from As It Happens interviewed me today over the phone from Winnipeg and she
_ she characterized [C] _ _ _ [C#] Margaret Thatcher as someone who believed [N] in the rights of the individual
_ _ and individualistic society and I had to remind _ her that I too as a socialist believe in the
rights of the individual.
[D] I think that the individual is the most important component
in society.
It's just so that I happen to believe that [A] unless each individual is the
[G] recipient [F] of [N] collective provision of [C#] free education, [D#] of free health care, [N] of decent
affordable housing, of proper pensions, of decent wages, _ _ _ unless _ each individual is the recipient
of that collective provision then only the rich and the powerful will get to express their
individuality and the rest of us will be _ exploited by them.
That's the legacy of mine.

_ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
[Am] _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ [C] _
_ _ _ _ I [D] was a miner, _ [Dm] _ _ I was a _ [Am] [Dm] talker, I was a [Am] rowdy [F] man.
Between _ [G] the wars _ I raised [Am] a family. _
_ _ Time of _ austerity [G] with sweat at the [Am] foundry.
[F] _ _
[G] Between [C] the _ wars [G] _
I paid [Am] the union.
_ _ [F] When dash times got [G] harder I looked to the government [D] to help the [G] working man.
[C] Did they [G] grow prosperity?
_ _ [F] _
Down at [Am] the [D] _ [C] armoury [G] we're out of [Dm] the piece me boys.
Between the _ [G] _ [F] _ _ wars _
I _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ kept the [Dm]
faith.
_ [F] _ I _ [Am] [F] kept [C] voting [G] _ not for [Am] the iron fist [F] but for the [G] helping hand for this [Am] _ land. _
[F] _ _ I [C] walk around it [G] in _ mines of [Am] faith.
_ _ [F]
My [G] fellow _ _ [C] man [G] _
_ this [Am] is a land of [F] _
_ [C] hope and glory.
_ [G] _
Mine is the
greenfield and the factory _ floor.
_ [C] _ _
These [Dm] are the skies [F] of _ _ [Am] dark with bombers [G] and _ mines [Am] of peace in
_ [F] between [G] _
_ the [C] _ [F] wars. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Am] _
[D] _ [C] _ _ _ _ Call [D]
up the [Dm] craftsmen, _ _ [F] bring me the _ [C] draughtsman, [Dm] build me [Am] a path, _ [F] _ cradle _ [G]
to _ grave
_ and [Am] I'll give my consent [F] _ to [C] any [Dm] _ government [G] that does not [Am] deny a man [F] a [G] living _ [C] _
_ wage.
[G] Go find the
[Am] young men [F] _ _ never [Am] to fight _ [G] again.
Bring up the banners from the days gone by.
[C] _ _ [Dm] Sweet moderation
_ _ _ [F] _ out [C] of this _ [G] nation.
_ Desert us [Am] now [F] we are [G] between _ [C] the wars.
