VERSE 1
********
C
When I was young, I joined the march
Am Dm
And sang 'The Long Way Down'
F
There's photos of me carrying
C Dm
My banner into town
F
And though it was a lonely path
C Am
The bomb we had to ban
Dm C
I had a dream, I wanted one
Am Dm C
I didn't give a damn
E|E|---------------||------
VERSE 2
********
Dm C
I met the girl who's with me still
Am Dm
One festival in spring
F
We loved the tunes we loved the words
C Dm
We loved to stand and sing
F
We followed Bob, we followed Paul
C Am
We followed with a pram
Dm C
The times they were a-changin’
Am Dm C Am Dm
And we didn't give a damn
E|E|---------------||------
VERSE 3
********
C
Then somewhere in the Seventies
Am Dm
The time just passed us by
F
We voted left, but shifted right
C Dm
And Bob found god on high
F
The mortgage and the office and
C Am
The rush hour traffic jam
Dm C
We chased that golden promise
Am Dm C
And we didn't give a damn
E|E|---------------||------
VERSE 4
********
Dm C
The Eighties, god bless Maggie
Am Dm
Well, the Eighties they were fine
F
We re-discovered Paul
C Dm
And saw the unions brought in line
F
The British won the Falklands war
C Am
Who needed Uncle Sam?
Dm C
We waved our flags and cheered our lads
Am Dm C Am Dm
And didn't give a damn
E|E|---------------||------
VERSE 5
********
C
I'm sixty now, and so's the wife
Am Dm
Our soldier son was free
F
He did his bit, he did us proud
C Dm
We watched him march in line
F
We saw him get his medal
C Am
Saw him smile at his old man
Dm C
we were so proud he was our son
Am Dm C
We didn't give a damn
E|E|---------------||------
VERSE 6
********
Dm C
Then came that bloody murderer
Am Dm
The fool they call Hussein
F
To think that he would call our bluff
C Dm
The man was quite insane
F
And our lad, he went after him
C Am
We got a telegram
Dm C
Friendly fire, they said it was
Am Dm C
And now who gives a damn?
E|E|---------------||------
VERSE 7
********
C
When I was young, I joined the march
Am Dm
And sang 'The Long Way Down'
F
There's photos of me carrying
C Dm
My banner into town
F
But somewhere down that lonely path
C Am
From then, to who I am
Dm C
I lost my dream, I lost my son
Am Dm C
Too late to give a damn
