[A] _ [F] _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] So you dreamt [Eb] of being a pint, but you never [Bb] got to fly.
So you dreamt of sailing the seven [E] seas, but never got [Bb] to try.
Well, let navy lads [Eb] get soaking, we'll all [Bb] stay nice and [Eb] dry.
We shout to all [Bb] the soldiers, jump!
[F] And hear them shout, [Bb] how high!
For we [Eb] were made to [Bb] give the [Eb] orders, while lesser men take [Bb] heed.
For some [F] were born to follow, _ _ [Bb] but we were born to lead.
Ladies and gentlemen, [F] welcome to [G] MI5!
[Em] You're sure to [F] save the nation, Nanny told me in [C] my cot.
Your father gave you courage, [D] also ponies and [G] the yacht.
[C] My centuries of breeding, I know they'll fail me not.
[F] For fortune [C] favors bravery, and a [G] fortune's what [C] I got.
We'll get [F] some boys go to battle, but we're a different breed.
[D] For some were [G] born to follow, _ but we were [Am] born to lead.
We [C] are the masters, we [Dm] are the clever men, who hold the [F] reins.
For who needs [G] guns when you've got [Am] brains?
You'll see, [C] forever after.
And [Dm] when this war is done and faced to dust, [F] the world will turn and say to us,
[Dm] that [C] we [F] were [G] born [A] to lead.
[D] When I was a young explorer, I discovered a new breed of trout.
[G] What?
It leapt into [D] my kayak [Ab] and just briefly [A] knocked me out.
Sorry, [D] what?
The feeling was quite magical when it slapped me on the mouth.
[Gm] It made the [D] local papers, rare [A] fish attacks, [D] voice scout.
[G] It's still my proudest moment, of that I have no doubt.
[D] For [A] some were born to follow, _ but [D] I was born to find trout.
Right, uh, new [A] to MI5, are you?
Uh, no, I've worked [D] here for six years.
Oh, right.
Yes, you're blinking out of my mug.
[A] Oh, right.
It's got [D] a picture of my face on it.
Oh, right.
Charles Chomley, scientist?
You and Montague, naval intelligence.
I know.
Of [A] course you do.
_ [D] Well, we know who to call if there's a [Gb] fish in this here.
Ladies, better keep your eyes on [Bb] this chap.
Come on, [E] men, we've hit most [Gb] of this batch.
Quite right, lads, but the problem [Bm] is that all of mainland Europe
is undoubtedly out of town.
[Em] So we're staging [Bm] our invasion [Db] and the countdown [Gb] has begun.
[Bm] Our sights are set on Sicily, that stronghold of the Han,
[E] but the [Bm] island's packed with a hundred thousand German [Gb] men [Bm] with guns.
And if we [Em] cannot norm [Bm] the [Em] beaches, it's sure to spell defeat.
[B] If the Musclemen [Gb] can't do it, call the Masters [B] of [A] Deceit.
_ [B]
Morning, [A] gentlemen.
Oh, Colonel Paxson.
[D] Watch out, [Cm] boys, the big boss is here.
[D] Welcome to military deception.
Now, as you [Cm] all know, the next [D] Allied invasion target is Sicily,
and the key [Cm] to invading [D] Sicily is not invading Sicily.
Sorry, what?
Or at least that's what the enemy is going to think.
We're going to convince the Germans that we're headed for somewhere else instead.
Sardinia, to be exact.
Oh, a misdirection.
Exactly.
So we're going to win this war with a magic trick.
How else do we make a hundred thousand German troops disappear?
[Eb] _ [Gm] _ [G] _ [Ab] _ [Gm] Sicily could turn the tide of [F] the war,
but [Gm] we can't just walk up and knock upon the door.
For each man we've got, they've got [F] ten [Eb] more.
We've [Gm] escorted before [G] he even [Ab] reached the [Dm] shore.
We need a way to reduce the danger,
dip the odds in our favor,
go to great [D] lengths to drain the [Gm] strength of the Sicilian [Eb] defence
[Bb] by misdirecting their [Ab] dear dictator.
[Am] Gotta make Hitler believe [F] Sicily isn't where we're gonna be.
Gotta proceed [Gb] with some dishonesty,
gotta deceit,
because what I [F] want to see is hundreds of thousands of Germans getting off our property.
[E] So I need your brains to figure [F] out how we sell a [Dm] fake campaign.
[Gbm] Find me a strategy,
use your brain matter to tactically [A] scatter the enemy to the breeze.
Then once [Ab] the island is unattended,
[Eb] once the beaches are undefended,
[Bbm] we send our boys in, then we destroy them.
That's [G] how Sicily is _ apprehended.
[C] So [G] we've got to [Eb] lie about where we strike,
[Ab] so we [Eb] can fool the Reich.
[Fm] This [Eb] plan is [F] strictly [G] Hitler.
_ As of now, I'll be hearing your proposals.
How do we shift the German troops from Sicily to Sardinia?
What this country needs is a genius plan.
What this country needs is a [N] genius man.
For some were born to follow,
but they [G] know it's a cruel world.
But we were [Am] born to live.
We are not here to win.
[C] We are the masters.
We play our part.
We [Dm] are the clever men who hold the [F] reins.
This war [G] is not a game.
[Am] You'll see who I'm dealing [C] with.
For there's nothing more.
And [Dm] when this war is done and faced to [F] dust,
there's no applause or faith for [Dm] us.
But [C] we [G] were born [A] to _ lead.
[D] Oh brothers, let's get winning.
[G] My mind shall set us free.
Gonna win the war, [D] champagne [E] galore.
As I click the on [A] the V,
[D] I'll doubtedly get a [G] knighthood.
And a Victoria Park [D] degree.
[G] Look up, it's only [D] in addiction.
Please, there's a picture there of me.
We are [G] the finest minds [D] in [G] England.
On that we are [Bm] agreed.
For some [E] were born [A] to follow.
_ [D] Born to follow.
Some were born [A] to follow.
But we [D] were born to lead. _
