_ _ _ Hattie has dared me to do an English [Bb] song.
_ _ I will a song of great social significance
_ I'll get that out in a minute
_ song of great social significance
We'd like to dedicate the song to the present conservative government in London _ _ _ [N] _ _
_ and mrs.
Thatcher of course who loves us [Bb] dearly
_ _ _ _ [Eb] _ This song is called [Bb] they're moving father's grave to build a sewer.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Oh
They're moving father's grave
to build a [Bb] sewer
_ _ They're moving him regardless [G] of expense
_ [Gm] [Cm] They dug up his [Bb] remains to put in five-inch drains [F] to irrigate some posh [Bb] blokes residence _ _
_ Now what's the use of having [Bb] our religion if when you're dead your [G] troubles never cease
If _ [C] some posh city chap wants [Cm] a pipeline to his ravine
[Bb] _ [G] They'll never let a British workman [Bb] rest in peace _ _
Now in [Eb] his lifetime father never [Bb] was a quitter I'm sure that he won't be a quitter [G] now [Cm] for when the jobs complete
_ [Bb] He'll haunt that privy seat [Dm] and he'll only let them go when he'll [Bb] allow
When he'll allow
Now won't there be some [Eb] bloomin' consternation
[Bb] _ And won't these city chappies rant [Gm] and rave
Which is [Cm] more than they deserve for having the bleeding nerve
[Bb] to muck around
when a British _ [Gm] workman's _ [Eb] grave
Oh my old man [F] says
follow the band
[Bb] and don't dilly-dally [Eb] on the _ _ way
[G] of when the band
with [Cm] me old man in it
I'll be a quitter
[C] I follow on [Bb] with me old couple in it
I dilly, I dally
I dilly and I dilly
I lost me way and don't know where to [Db] run
Oh you [G] can't just as easily drop the [Abm] old time coppers
[Eb] When you can't [Bb] find your way out
[Eb] You're _ _
_ _ _ [N] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
getting a bit old for that kind of thing
