Intro: Stratch the chord G(listen to song for rhythm )


   Am                F               G
I degree today that life is simply taking and not giving
        Am      F                G
England is mine and it owes me a living
           Am            F            G
But ask me why and i'll spit in your eye
   Am           F                    G
Oh ask me why and i'll spit in your eye
    Em         Am          F           G
But we cannot cling to the old dreams anymore
   Em         Am              F          G
No we cannot cling to those dreams.
          Am        F
Does the body rule mind?
             G
or does the mind rule the body?
          Am    F   G
i dunno...
          Am    F          G
Under the iron bridge we kissed
             Am          F          G
and although i ended up with sore lips
         Em   Am            F   G
It just wasnt like the old days anymore
   Em       Am          F
No it wasnt like those days
 G          Am  F  G
Am i still ill?

Am F G

         Am             F
Does the body rule the mind
              G
or does the mind rule the body?

         Am  F G
I dunno...
       Am            F    G
Ask me why and I'll die
   Am          F        G
oh ask me why and I'll die
           Em          Am    F       G
and if you must go to work tomorrow
        Em         Am          F    G
well if I were you I wouldn't bother
                Am               F   G
for there are brighter sides to life

and I should know because I've seen them
                    Am  F G
but not very often


Am    F          G
Under the iron bridge we kissed
             Am          F          G
and although i ended up with sore lips
         Em   Am            F   G
It just wasnt like the old days anymore
   Em       Am          F
No it wasnt like those days
 G          Am  F  G
Am i still ill?

Am F G
