Bt thy pty down ar-mou--ry armng pce boys btwn the wars

I was a miner, I was a docker, I was a railwayman between the wars

I raised a family, in times of austerity, with sweat at the foundry b t w

I paid the union, then as times got harder, I looked to the government to

help the working man

But they brought prosperity down at the armoury, we're arming for peace,

see boys, between the wars

I kept the faith and I kept voting, not for the iron fist but for the

helping hand

For theirs is a land with a wall around it and mine is a faith in my

fellow man

Theirs is a land of hope and glory, mine is the greenfield and the

factory floor

Theirs are the skies all dark with bombers and mine is the peace we knew

between the wars

Call up the craftsman, bring me the draughtsman, build me a path from

cradle to grave

And I'll give my consent to any government that does not deny a man a

living wage

Go find the young men, never to fight again, bring up the banners from

The

days gone

By

Cast moderation, heart of this nation, desert us not we are between the

Wars

On the first couple of bars of the intro, rest the heel of your hand on

The bridge/bass strings,to mute them a bit

* means strum hard then mute the strings immediately after hitting them

--2bp0-- means slightly bend the string as you do the pull-off
