Intro:

G  G7  C  Cm, G  D7  C

Verse 1:

G                             G7
 Yeah, I know you're right, I see it in your fierce eyes.
C                                              Cm
 But me I've never thought straight, since the day I had the first doubt.
G                                   D7
 Yes, I know you're right, and I'll back you to a point, pal.
         C                          G
But I'll never be constrained by, a-nother man's ideas now.

Verse 2:

  G                            G7
I spent too long on this road, looking for the answers,
    C                   Cm
But poverty and failure, aren't what I'm after.
  G                                      D7
I painted "fight" on factories, but they closed the factory down, pal.
          C                                G
I want to find out where the heart's gone, find out where the nerves gone.

Chorus 1:

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

Verse 3:

G                        G7
 Pat votes the Scots way, just like her mother,
    C                       Cm
But south always takes all; just like her brother.
    G                         D7
The next time she might vote; so might the others,
    C                                     G
But time's running out, pal, 'cos they're giving up in numbers.

Chorus 2:

D            C           G
 What do you do, when de-mocracy's all through?
B7   C       G
 Ah, ah, ah, ah.
D            C           G
 What do you do, when mi-nority means you?
B7   C       G
 Ah, ah, ah, ah.
