No Power Without Accountability Chords by Billy Bragg No power without accountability By Billy Bragg Intro Em A D Em Verse 1 Em A I grew up, in a company town Em And I work a' hard til' the company closed down Em A They gave my job, to another man Em On half my wages in some foreign land A Em And when I asked, how could that be, any good for our economy, A Em I was told, nobody cared, so long as they make money and they sell their shares Chorus Em A Can you hear us, are you listening Em A There's no power without accountability Verse 2 Em A I lost my job, my car and my house Em A When 10,000 miles away some guy clicked on a mouse Em A He didn't know me, we never spoke Em A He didn't ask my opinion or canvas for my vote Em I guess it's true, A Nobody cares until them petrol bombs come spinning through the air Em Gotta find a way A Em to hold them to account before they find a way to snuff our voices out Chorus Verse 3 Em A The ballot box is no garruntee, but we achieve democracy Em Our leaders claim their victory A When only half the people've spoken Em There is no job security, And this global economy Em A Our borders closed to refugees Em Our markets forced to open Em A World banks is to Mexico Em Well Crust Hoff if you don't keep them taxes low chorus Em A They have no right to wield that sword Em They take orders from generals abroad Em A I am F, WTO I hear these words just to give the cops a go, Em Who are those people, who elected them Em A Em And Why do I repeat them with some of my friends Chorus x2 Em, A, D, Em Repeat to fade Sorry about the lyrics, but he murmurs on the live version it woz taken from. this was tabbed by: Nick Case it took a lot of work, so keep my name on it any comments/corrections to: nick.nickcase@gmail.com
