ST SWITHINS DAY by Kirsty MacColl (written by Billy Bragg)

                C (x32010@1)    GThinking (320003@1)back now
          F (133211@1)C (x32010@1)GI (320003@1)suppose you were just stating your views
		C (x32010@1)  GWhat (320003@1)was it all for
        F (133211@1)CG
For the weather or the battle of Agincourt
F (133211@1)                                  GAnd (320003@1)the times that we all hoped would last
 	Am (x02210@1)		FLike (133211@1)a train they have gone by so fast
              F (133211@1)                   C (x32010@1)         GAnd (320003@1)though we stood together at the edge of the platform
		C (x32010@1)  	    GWe (320003@1)were not moved by them

 		C (x32010@1)  GWith (320003@1)my own hands
    	  F (133211@1)C (x32010@1)   GAs (320003@1)I make love to your memory
		C (x32010@1) GIt's (320003@1)not the same
		F (133211@1)C (x32010@1)  GI (320003@1)miss the thunder I miss the rain
F (133211@1)                                  GAnd (320003@1)the fact that you don't understand
 	Am (x02210@1)	FCasts (133211@1)a shadow over this land
             C (x32010@1)    G (320003@1)CG
But the sun still shines from behind it


Thanks all the same
But I just can't bring myself to answer your letters
It's not your fault
But your honesty touches me like a fire
The polaroids that keep us together
Will surely fade away
Like the love that we spoke of forever
On St. Swithins Day
