G                   D                                
Well Mr. Churchill says, Mr. Churchill says
         G                Em            C    G    D7                   
We gotta fight the bloody battle to the very end
    G                         D                               
Mr. Beaverbrook says we gotta save our tin
            G                                                
And all the garden gates
    Em                   C       G                              
And empty cans are gonna make us win

G                   D7  
We shall defend our island
       C               G                                      
On the land and on the sea
         G                 D7                                  
We shall fight them on the beaches
       C                G                                     
On the hills and in the fields
         C                 G                                  
We shall fight them in the streets

G                         D                C                 G    
Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed to so few
               G                  D                           
'Cos they have made our British Empire
         C                 G                                  
A better place for me and you
    C                     G                                   
And this was their finest hour

             G                                               
Well Mr. Montgomery says
             D                                               
And Mr. Mountbatten says
         G                Em            C    G                   
We gotta fight the bloody battle to the very end

        G                                                    
As Vera Lynn would say
            D                                                
We'll meet again someday
            G          Em             C        G                 
But all the sacrifices we must make before the end

[Air Raid Siren: then aggressively-  G Bb C  G Bb C

        G         Bb           C        G  Bb  C                        
Did you hear that plane flying overhead
          G                         Bb      C     D
There's a house an fire and there's someone lying dead
                        C
We gotta clean up the streets
                       Bb
And get me back on my feet
                     D7   G  Bb  C   G  Bb  C   
Because we wanna be free
G                       Bb      C   G  Bb  C
Do your worst and we'll do our best
            G                    Bb   C    D
We're gonna win the way that Mr. Churchill says


 proto-rap: G  Bb  C is an adequate progression under the rap and
solo, but the chords aren't right

Oh! oh! oh! oh! oh! oh! Well Mr. Churchill says

We gotta hold up our chins

We gotta show some courage and some discipline

We gotta black up the windows and nail up the doors

And keep right on till the end of the war
