GThe (320003@1)countryside is dying
        G/f#
They're closing village stores
       CWhile (x32010@1)shepherds watched their flocks by night
     G (320003@1)                  DThe (xx0232@1)government burn them all
     AmAnd (x02210@1)here's another post office
       C (x32010@1)   D (xx0232@1)          GWith (320003@1)boards across the door

GNow (320003@1)the rich folks came from london
   G/f#
To breathe the cleaner air
      CThey (x32010@1)listen to The Archers
         G (320003@1)                    DBuy (xx0232@1)new barbours, grow their hair
AmThen (x02210@1)they buy up all the houses

So country people born-and-bred
C (x32010@1)     D (xx0232@1)       GCan't (320003@1)afford to live there

GNow (320003@1)the Countryside Alliance
      G/f#
We'll call them 'the cunts' for short
      CThey (x32010@1)promised in defiance
         G (320003@1)             DThat (xx0232@1)a battle would be fought
           AmThen (x02210@1)they ignored the real issues
           C (x32010@1)         D (xx0232@1)         GAnd (320003@1)just shout about their bloody sport

C (x32010@1)                        G (320003@1)               DAnd (xx0232@1)you can call it a betrayal well it looks like that to me
