Intro:

G  G7  C  C,
G  D7  C

Verse 1:

G
 Yeah I know you're right,
  G7
I see it in your fierce eyes.
C
 But me I've never thought straight,
          Cm
Since the day I had the first doubt.

G
 Yes I know you're right,
         D7
And I'll back you to a point pal.
         C
But I'll never be constrained by,
   G
An-other man's ideas now.

Verse 2:

  G
I spent too long on this road,
G7
 Looking for the answers,
    C
But poverty and failure,
Cm
 Aren't what I'm after.

  G
I painted "fight" on factories,
         D7
But they closed the factory down pal.
          C
I want to find out where the heart's gone,
G
 Find out where the nerves gone.

Chorus 1:

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

Verse 3:

G
 Pat votes the Scots way,
G7
 Just like her mother,
    C
But south always takes all;
Cm
 Just like her brother.

    G
The next time she might vote;
D7
 So might the others,
    C
But time's running out pal,
             G
'Cos they're giving up in numbers.

Chorus 2:

D            C
 What do you do,
        G
When de-mocracy's all through?
B7   C       G
 Ah, ah, ah, ah.

D            C
 What do you do,
        G
When mi-nority means you?
B7   C       G
 Ah, ah, ah, ah.
