 I got some 'O' grades, when I was six-teen.

Why we let someone else rule our land; we're cap in hand.

 Getting handouts can be so frus-trating;

 Broken by a weight that I was never fit to carry.

Come on nature; I don't want to read a book or talk about the world.
        G                                                       D    D7
Come on nature; I just want to spend some time being boy to the girl.
        G       C                                                D    D7
Come on nature; let me show the way that I've been feeling all a-long.
        G       C                                                    G     D7
Come on nature; just because I don't feel weak, don't mean I feel so strong.

Verse 2:

          G               C                                  D   D7
I've been known, to ask a few more favours than I should, of you.
       G                   C                                      D  D7
And in time, I'm sure I'll still want things that you could never do.

C              D    D7
 If she wasn't mine,
         C               D     D7
If I was stepping out of line,
          C               Cm                  D              D7
But she's mine and I'm in line, and she's the best I've ever seen.

        G       C                                                G
Come on nature; let me show the way that I've been feeling all a-long.

Verse 4:

        G           C                                D  D7
Her and me; I could be complete, if you could let it be.
      G           C                                D    D7
My de-sire, is to stretch myself inside her body's fire.

C              D  D7
 If I stumbled in,
       C                    D     D7
Then I could say that I had been,
       C                  Cm               Am             D    D7
To the Chamber where your greatest work of art was on dis-play.

        G       C                                                G
Come on nature; let me show the way that I've been feeling all a-long.

 I'm on my way, to what I want from this world,
    G                      C              D    C
And years from now, you'll make it to the next world.
G                    C              D   C
 And everything that you receive up yon-der;

 I took the road that brought me to your home town,
G                   C                    D    C
 I took the bus, to streets that I could walk down.
G                         C                D      C
 I walked the streets, to find the one I'd looked for,

 I climbed the stair, that led me to your front door.

 To keep my heart from jumping through my mouth dear.

G                      C                D   C
 To keep the past, the past and not the pre-sent,
G                       D7
 To try and learn, when you teach me a lesson.

Bridge 2:

C              D7               G        G7
 And now, that I don't want for anything.

9...WHAT DO YOU DO?... by The Proclaimers
----------------------...................

*from 'Sunshine On Leith' (1988)*


Intro:

G  G7  C  Cm, G  D7  C

Verse 1:

G                             G7
 Yeah, I know you're right, I see it in your fierce eyes.
C                                              Cm
 But me I've never thought straight, since the day I had the first doubt.
G                                   D7
 Yes, I know you're right, and I'll back you to a point, pal.
         C                          G
But I'll never be constrained by, a-nother man's ideas now.

Verse 2:

  G                            G7
I spent too long on this road, looking for the answers,
    C                   Cm
But poverty and failure, aren't what I'm after.
  G                                      D7
I painted "fight" on factories, but they closed the factory down, pal.
          C                                G
I want to find out where the heart's gone, find out where the nerves gone.

Chorus 1:

D            C           G
 What do you do, when de-mocracy fails you?
B7   C       G
 Ah, ah, ah, ah.
D            C            G
 What do you do, when the rest can't see it's true?
B7   C       G
 Ah, ah, ah, ah.

Verse 3:

G                        G7
 Pat votes the Scots way, just like her mother,
    C                       Cm
But south always takes all; just like her brother.
    G                         D7
The next time she might vote; so might the others,
    C                                     G
But time's running out, pal, 'cos they're giving up in numbers.

Chorus 2:

D            C           G
 What do you do, when de-mocracy's all through?
B7   C       G
 Ah, ah, ah, ah.
D            C           G
 What do you do, when mi-nority means you?
B7   C       G
 Ah, ah, ah, ah.

I'd never been lucky with girls, I confess,

Don't know who to blame for my lack of success.
     D                     A
'Cos even with ones up the back of a bus;
                               D
There was always the risk of a slap in the puss.
