Lie Of The Land Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

Too young to care, too old to fight

Ain't bothered about your life

-Am-------------------------F--------

Drop out, far out, don't go to school

----Dm--------------------Am--

Get out while the going's good

Sign up for the dole, dig a hole

For your bone and moan ain't got any cash

Hedonistic man with your can

And your head of sand

Take the lie of the land

LET'S KEEP THE FLAMES OF HOPE ALIVE

 (Intro riff, but only 1 Am-Asus2-Asus4-Am sequence)

Take the LIE OF THE LAND

Today don't wait don't hesitate

Get out there and join a march

Join hands make plans and take a chance

On the right hand side of the road

Avoid the gang of the man named Vicious Henry

And his friend called Billy Whizz

Don't stay in the dark where the sharks

Will rip you off they're gonna tear you apart

LET'S KEEP THE FLAMES OF HOPE ALIVE

And never let the fires die

 (Intro riff, but only 1 Am-Asus2-Asus4-Am sequence)

Take the LIE OF THE LAND

(Harmonica solo here over, Dm-F-C-Am pattern twice, as in second part of verse above)

 (Continue using Dm-F-C-Am pattern)

And at home you're alone you're the people

That your parents warned you about

And all your walls are adomed with protest

And you always quote the........

LET'S KEEP THE FLAMES OF HOPE ALIVE

And never let the fires die

Take the LIE OF THE LAND

Intro fill

This pattern is used repeatedly at the end of each chorus)
