Rumours of War Billy Bragg
There are [Am]soldiers marching on the [C]com[G]mon t[Am]oday
They were t[C]here [F]again this [C]evening
They [Am]paced up and down like sea [G]birds on the ground
[Am]Before the s[G]torm clouds ga[Am]thering
I must [Am]buy whatever tinned food is l[C]eft on [G]the [Am]shelves
They are [C]testing the [F]air raid [C]sirens
They've [Am]filled up the blood banks and [G]emptied the beds
At the [Am]hospital [G]and the [Am]asylum
I saw a [Am]man build a shelter in his [C]garden [G]tod[Am]ay
And we [C]stood there [F]idly [C]chatting
He said: [Am]"No, no I don't [G]think war will come"
Yet [Am]still he [G]carried on [Am]digging
[Am]Everything in my [C]life that [G]I [Am]love
Could be [C]swept [F]away without [C]warning
Yet the [Am]birds still sing and the [G]church bells ring
And the [Am]sun came [G]up this [Am]morning
[Am]Life goes on as it [G]did before
As the [Am]country [G]drifts slowly to [Am]war
