[Intro 1]
[G][D][C][G][C][G]
[C][G][C]
[D]Dressed [G]up in a Sunday

[Verse 1]
[G]
best,
Canon
Dav[D]is leaves the [Em]rest.[D]
[G]Like last year and the year before,
[D]The
[G]Jew [D]remembers what it's for
[G]But [D]the solemn march pro[G]ceeds
[D]Over pavements, over growing [C]weeds
And [D]everybody someday gets to see
Better days to [G]save [D]the least
And [Am]the mayor's robes are
torn [D]an d creased
And
[C]Abra[G]ham
[D]Brown is whistling
[G]Britannia[D][C][G][C]
[G]Pleasantries are much the same
So many, so [Em]little change
[D]No [G]one thinks to question why
No one [D]looks you in the eye
[G]Passed [D]along neglected car[G]ds
Rust[D]ing in sub[G]urban yards[C]
[G]When [D]in ceremonial fronts
Round the village [G]up and [D]down
[Am]Blessed the people, beat the [D]battles
One
[C]Abraham
[G]Brown [D]is whistling
[G]Britannia[C][G][D][C]
[D]Paws [G]of wild eye, nine ounce reach
For
Apep
Smith to make his [Em]speech
[D]For [G]all the hatred, stoke the fiend
[D]The [G]same as he does [D]every year
[G]But [D]then a different voice [G]descends
From a [D]rusted old
Mercedes [C]-Benz
A [D]re cord girl of twenty [C]-one sits
[D]laughing in the [G]win[D]ter sun
I [Am]hear the thickers of her [D]farm
And
[C]Abraham
[G]Brown [D]is whistling
[G]Britannia[D][C][D]
[G]Sat behind the broken wheel
Soaked up, nothing left to [Em]steal
[D]Oakley [G]shades upon her eyes,
oblivious to [D]cloudy skies
[G]Laugh[D]ing at her own re[G]grets,
[D]smoking homemade cigar[C]ettes
One [D]man's parade is another's farce,
the
Emperor's clothes revealed [G]at [D]last
Our [Am]innocence, like eaves, [D]has passed
And
[C]Abraham
[G]Brown [D]is whistling
Britanni[G]a[D][C][G][D][C]
[D]The [G]pride of man is a brutal thing
And fragile as an insect's [Em]wing
[D]The [G]bubble burst, the [D]march re[G]sumed
A [D]half [G]-muttered outrage [D]solves the wound
[G]But [D]as we leave I turn to [G]see
[D]The scourge of our soci[C]ety
[D]Enthroned in [G]her auda[D]city
A lover of cruel [G]mockery
[D]You think she [Am]may be smiled [D]at me
[C]Whatever [G]crown [D]was
Whistler in
Britanni[G]a?[C][G][D][C][G][D]
[C][G][D][C]
