    Misc

Another gem of a song which I couldn't find any chords for online. It's pretty 
simple, but you should listen to the song first to work out the strumming.


Capo 2

A                      
Yesterday was dark and dingy,
B7
My temperament was rather wingy,
E                           D              E7     A
Things had got me wonderin' why I lived in London anyway,
   E7
My days were grey.
A
Now I welcome all and sundry,
B7
Everyone can join my country,
E
Listen if you're near them,
D             E7        A
Maybe you can hear them say...

A7               D                       
   You've got to teach the world to sing,
      A
Danny Wallace is the king!
    E                              A                  A7
For justice and politeness are the laws which he will bring,
          D                        A
Where the order of the crown is to frown upon the frown.
      B                             E7
We've done a constitution and we've even wrote it down...
             D                             A
Although the nation may be small it's the nicest of them all,
  E                         A                   A7
A land of opportunity where crime's against the law.
      D                               A
Ev'ry subject do your part, with your hand upon your heart,
  B            E7           A      D7
A Kingdom-come-democracy to start.

D                    A
Ev'ryone is just the same,
Am                        G
It doesn't matter who you name.
Dm7             Fmaj7            E7
Anyone can be a dame, or sir, or lord (but not king)

A
People gather round completely
B7
Listen as I tell you sweetly
E
All across our nation
D        E7              A
Join the recitation with me...


A7               D                       
   You've got to teach the world to sing,
      A
Danny Wallace is the king!
    E                              A                  A7
For justice and politeness are the laws which he will bring,
          D                        A
Where the order of the crown is to frown upon the frown.
      B                             E7
We've done a constitution and we've even wrote it down...
             D                             A
Although the nation may be small it's the nicest of them all,
  E                         A                   A7
A land of opportunity where crime's against the law.
      D                               A
Ev'ry subject do your part, with your hand upon your heart,
  B            E7           A      D7
A Kingdom-come-democracy to start.

A7               D                       
   You've got to teach the world to sing,
      A
Danny Wallace is the king!
    E                              A                  A7
For justice and politeness are the laws which he will bring,
          D                        A
Where the order of the crown is to frown upon the frown.
      B                             E7
