GThe countryside is dying

[G/f#]

They're closing village stores

CWhile shepherds watched their flocks by night

GThe government burned them aDll

AmAnd here's another post office

 WithC boarGds across the doorD

GThe people from the city came

[G/f#]

To breathe the cleaner air

CThey listen to The Archers

 Buy new cGoats and grow their hDair

AmThen they buy up all the houses

So country people born-and-bred

CCan't afGford to liveD there

GNow the Countryside Alliance

[G/f#]

We'll call them 'the cunts' for short

CThey promised in defiance

 That a baGttle would be foDught

 Then iAmgnored the real problems

 To shout abCout their blGoody spDort

CCall it a betrayal - it lGooks like that to Dme

CCall it bad behaviour and Ga waste of time aDnd money

CI've never been in favour Gof police brutaliDty

 But when the hEmuntsman comes a-marchin'

 Well gCive hDim one Gfor me, officer, givCe him onDe foGr me.

GNow the cunts have come to London

[G/f#]

To give us all what for:

CThere were only 20 thousand of them

GMarching down through WhitDehall

 But thAmey were such a bunch of thugs

AmThe police arrested more

Than when 2 million normal people

CMarched agGainst the wDar

CCall it a betrayal - looks Glike that to mDe

CCall it bad behaviour and a Gwaste of time Dand money

CI've never been in favour of Gpolice brutDality

 But when the hEmuntsman comes a-marchin'

 Well giCve him onDe for mGe, officer, giCve him oDne for mGe.

 Where wereEm you when the miAmners fought to savCe their livelGihoods?

 Dressed Emup in red velveAmt somewhere deCep in the woGods

 You lEmoved the fucking Ampoll tax, you pCropped up Margaret GThatcher

 And you dEmidn't give a fucAmk about Tony Blair

 'Til he tChrew your hobby back at yGa.

GThe countryside is dying

[G/f#]

Some say it's already dead

 And the huCntsman has a boner as the doGgs pull it to shDreds

 Then he wAmipes the blood on his daughter's face

 And dCrags her baGck to bDed.

CCall it a betrayal - looksG like that to Dme

CCall it bad behaviour and aG waste of time Dand money

CAnd I've never been in favoGur of police brDutality

 But when the hEmuntsman comes a-marchin'

 Well give hiCm onDe for mGe, officer, giCve hiDm one forG me.
