Little Comets - The Isles ------------------------------ Key of E Ear-transcribed on ukulele by Neil Killer. ------------------------------ Alternately, you can change every second C#m chord to an F#m, as in C#m - B - F#m - B. The (E-B) accent is played after every B chord, but I have marked it where it is most strongly heard. ------------------------------ INTRO: C#m - B - C#m - B VERSE 1: C#m B (E-B) Economic downturn you can get a job C#m B Apologetic parents you can get a job C#m B (E-B) Sometimes I'm feeling just like Cupid with a bow and arrow C#m B And I'm firing it at people who remain too shallow CHORUS: C#m B In the B R I T I say British Isles C#m B The streets are bleak, the kids are running wild VERSE 2: C#m B (E-B) Terror on the pavement, panic in the street C#m B Tension in the twisted silence of our sheets C#m B Sometimes I lie awake for hours, feeling so synthetic C#m B While my eyes are screaming out for something way more epic CHORUS: C#m B It's the B R I T I say British Isles C#m B The streets are bleak, the kids are running wild C#m Terribly bold they try so hard B Never look up to see the stars C#m B In the B R I T I say British Isles BRIDGE: C#m Leeds screaming, Bristol torn B Belfast and Hull forlorn C#m Oxford dreaming in denial B With all it's gleaming spires C#m Stoke bleeding, Glasgow yawns B Dundee and Cardiff mourn C#m York breaking, Sheffield cries B All fears are multiplied CHORUS: C#m B In the B R I T I say British Isles C#m B The streets are bleak, the kids are running wild C#m Terribly bold they try so hard B Never look up to see the stars C#m B In the B R I T I say British Isles OUTRO: C#m - B - C#m - B
