Pack up what you own,
B6 C#m
and you dial up who you can phone,
D#m C#m
and you save up all your pennies,
D#m C#m
and we hope but, oh -- is there any --
D#m C#m E6
and we wonder, oh, how can he put you out tonight?
B5 C#5
Go back in your mind,
B5 C#5
twenty years in time,
D#m C#m
and we’ll go a-walking through your garden;
D#m C#m
see the trees you planted in your yard then.
D#m C#m
All your work, it didn’t seem so hard then,
E
but it’s hard tonight.
B5 C#5
Five years further on,
B5 C#5
from the stage it looked like we’d won,
D#m C#m
but how many of those who heard you play
D#m C#m
have gone their insouciant ways?
D#m C#m
And the streets run bloody to this day,
E6
and to your house tonight.
D#m C#m
And we, still so touched,
D#m C#m
can we offer you that much
D#m C#m
more than those who you fought
D#m C#m
and who left you with nought,
E6 D#m
and who lied to you?
E6 D#m
They lied to you
E6 D#m
but this you always knew.
B6 C#m
So pack up your bulls and smalls,
B6 C#m
and we’ll tack up your painting on our walls,
D#m C#m
and we’ll write down all our songs then,
D#m C#m
and we’ll right up all our wrongs then,
D#m C#m
and we’ll tear up the streets a million strong then,
E6
in your name tonight.
