I Won Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D]
[G][D]

[Verse 1]
[D]Oh, let me take a candle
to a cellar tonight
And I'd like to take some matches
there and set it alight
I can, 'cause I've seen those
kind of places before
Oh, I'd like to have a party
in a cellar tonight
And I'd love to have a party
but it wouldn't be right
I shan't, 'cause I've seen
those kind of people before
I won the war in the sitting room
I won the war but it cost me
I won the war and I feel proud
But I don't [G]know why it's hard to
get to sleep in [F]my house

[Interlude 1]
[D]

[Verse 2]
[D]Oh, I have to pull the blankets
up to cover my head
And I have to pull the blankets right up
But I don't [G]know why it's hard
to get to sleep in [F]my house
[D]

[Verse 3]
[Am]Well [Bb]you keep following
the feel of the fire
[F]It's not difficult to see that you're
[Bb]Young and selfish,
and [F]liberty and money, don't go
[D]

[Verse 4]
Let me take a candle to a cellar tonight
And you should see the parties
we've had before
Give me the time, give me the time
Give me your watchword,
give me whatever you like
(Soon we'll be free)
I won the war in the sitting room
I won the war but it cost me
I won the war and I feel proud
But God only [G]knows why it's hard
to get [F]to sleep in my [D]house[Dm]
Oh (supercilious smile)
Oh (you're supercilious so)
[F]Well

[Verse 5]
[D][Dm][D][Dm]
[D]
[Bb]you keep
following the feel of fire
[F]It's not difficult to see that you're
[Bb]Beautiful and young, and critical of nothing
[F]And you[Bb] keep following the feel of fire
It's not difficult to see that you're
Beautiful and young,
but liberty and money, don't go
