    Let England Shake

Em
The West's asleep. Let England shake,
Em
weighted down with silent dead.
Am         Gm    D
I fear our blood won't rise again     
Em
rise again

Em
England's dancing days are done.
Em
Another day, Bobby, for you to come home
Am               Gm    D
Come and tell me       indifference 
Em
Won  won   won

Gm               D          D                A  
Smile, smile Bobby,         with your lovely mouth.
Gm               D          D                A  
Pack up your troubles,      let's head out
Gm               D          D                A  
to the fountain          of death & splash about, 
Gm                         
swim back  forth & laugh out loud,

Em

Em
until the day is ending,
Em
And the birds are silent 
Am           Gm        D
And  the   insects are courting
D                                                   
by the shores  heavy stones are    
Em
falling.

Gm               D          D                A  
Smile, smile Bobby,         with your lovely mouth.
Gm               D          D                A  
Pack up your troubles,      let's head out
Gm               D          D                A  
to the fountain          of death & splash about, 
Gm                         
swim back  forth & laugh out loud,
