Capo 4th fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

- - - x2

So you've tied your colours to the mast

Held up the white bag with the hi ghest flag

Lock the bathroom door, boy, h ave a blast

Use the flush to justify the aft ermath (The aftermath)

Oh and look now you're the guest of the government

Oh caught out peering over the parapet

Look now you're the guest of the government

So you've tied your colours to the tree

Try and bat back questions with c ertainty

Don't forget your name though th at's key

Let the flock take stock and curb the m isery (The misery)

Oh and look now you're the guest of the government

Oh caught out peering over the parapet

Look now you're the guest of the government

Oh and look now you're the guest of the government

Oh lined up like a pale faced president

Look now you're the guest of the government

Look it's the eager barflies and the fashionably l ate

The tug between those who come to drink and those to cre ate

By the end of the night it's all been granted the old news shrug

And we all fall gently in a comfortable h ug

And with both eyes on the watch and a trip to the Baltic state

And the love slowly conquers like rust on a gate

Though the surface can scratch you and the colour can fade

It's the feeling that starts in the tips of your toes as we rise up ag ain

Oh and look now you're the guest of the government

Oh caught out peering over the parapet

Look now you're the guest of the government

Oh and look now you're the guest of the government

Oh lined up like a pale faced president

Look now you're the guest of the government
