[Verse 1]
[G]Shout
[C][G][Gm]
[G][Gm][G][Gm]
"I was hoping [G]that somebody
[Ab]Would say that, um
'Shout' was the [G]single
[Gm]for '84
In the sense [A]that there have been
[G]There were so man[Ab]y protest
[G]singles[Gm]
[G]And I think 'Shout' was the
Most direct of all [F]them"[Gm]
[G]Shout,

[Verse 2]
shout, let it [Gm]all out let it all out
[Eb]These are the things I can do without
Come on ([C]come on)
I'm talking to you,
come [G]on the [Em]Working Hour

[Verse 3]
This is [G]the working hour
We are [C]paid by those who
[F]Learn by our mis[Em]takes
This is the [G]working hour
We are [C]paid by those who
Learn by our mistakes

[Verse 4]
"'The [C]Working [G]Hour' was thrown
Together [A]during, um, [F]rehearsals[G][F]
[G]- erm, rehearsals for our last [Em]tour erm
[Gm]And it came [C]together
in half an hour that's-
And we've kept it [D]the same pretty
[A]Much ever [G]since [Em]that[A]'s
why it [G]sounds- it
Actually [Abdim]sounds like a ba[G]nd playing"

[Verse 5]
This day and age [C]for all and [F]not for one
All [Em]lies and [G]secrets put on,
put [C]on and [F]on

[Verse 6]
Everybody [Em]Wants to Rule the World

[Verse 7]
"So [Eb]I came in one- one
day and [D]they'd
Actually written a song around this beat
And, [A]um, [D]it was very commercia[G]l,
[D]so they
Said: 'Here it is, you're singing this
Go and do it' so I did"

[Verse 8]
It's [D]my own design it's
my own remorse
Help me to decide help make the [Em]most
Of freedom [F#m]an d of pleasure
[D]Not[G]hing ever las[F#m]t s forever
[Em]Everybody [F#m]wants [D]to rul[A]e the world
[D]The[G]re's a room

[Verse 9]
where [D]the
light won't find [G]you
Holding hands while [D]the walls
Come tumbling [G]down
When they do I'll be [D]right be[A]hind you

[G]Mothers Talk

[Verse 10]
"It stems [D]from two [G]little
Ideas one [C]is something
[A]Tha[G]t English mothers say
to their English
Children, which is,
[D]if [G]you're pulling a face[G]
You know, like children sometimes do
They say: 'You'll stay like that
When [C]the wind [G]changes'
That's one [Em]idea

[Verse 11]
[D]and
[A]the other idea is exactly
[G]What you're talking about
[Ab]- 'When the Wind
[G]Blows' - which is cartoon
Book by [F#m]Ray mond Briggs
[G]Which is an anti- nuclear
thing for instance
The lyrics 'When
the weather starts to burn
[Ab]Then you'll know that you're
[G]In trouble' it's the
Closest [A]we'll get to an an
[G]ti- nuclear [A]song"[Em]

[Verse 12]
[Em]Given that you [A]pay the [D]price
[A]We can keep you young and tender
Follow[C]ing the footsteps
of a fu[A]neral pyre
[Gm]You were paid not to listen
Now your house is [C]on fire
[D]

[Verse 13]
Wake me up when things get started
When everything [C]starts to [D]happen
[Dm]I Believe
[G][Dm][G][Dm]

[Verse 14]
[D]"On[A]e of my
favourite song[G]s on
The album very sim[Eb]ple
[G]A nice sort of jazz swing
[Gm]To it now, I don't [G]wanna harp on
About the lyrics or anything like that
[Gm]But I think that they are the most potent
And [Eb]powerful lyrics we've ever
[Gm]Put onto v[Eb]inyl"[Edim][F]

[Verse 15]
I [F]believe that if you thought [Ab]for a moment
Took your time
You would not resign yourself
Resign yourself to your fate
And I believe that if it's
Written in [Gm]the stars, that's fine
I can't deny that I’m a Virgo
[Eb]too

[Interlude 2]

[D]

[Verse 16]
Broken [A]"'Broken'
[D]was ori[Ab]ginally
an [G]old b- [A]side which
[G]We [A]put[G] into overdrive [A]again
That comes from doing a lot
of live [G]work with
Those numbers- [A]ran into
each other and [G]worked
So well [A]there's ba[G]sically the
Same motif- piano motif
In each number that's why they
[A]went together"[G]
[A]Head Over Heels

[Verse 17]
[D]"yeah, 'Head Over [G]Heels' is
Probably the closest we'll
Ever get [D]to a love song, [G]heh
It's a love song that kind
of goes
A bit perverse [C]at the end"
[D][A][D][C]

[Verse 18]
[A]
I wanted to be [C]with you [A]alone
And talk about [C]the weather
But tradi[A]tions I can trace against
The [C]child in your [A]face
Won't escape my attention
[C]You[A] keep your distance with
a system [C]of [Dm]touch

[Verse 19]
"It was an instrumental originally, but [G]em
Ian wrote
- Ian Stanley it's a beautiful
instrumental
With just, you know,
me creeping into a
Bit of lyrics in the middle,
[G]you kno[Dm]w"
[F]Cumpleaños chica, no

[Verse 20]
[G]
[Dm]hay que preocuparse
Soothe my feeling
[G]Cumpleaños chica, no [Dm]hay[G]
[Dm]que preocuparse
Cumpleaños chica, no hay
que preocuparse
[G]Soothe [Dm]my feeling
Cumpleaños chica, no hay
[G]que preocuparse
Cumpleaños chica,
[Dm]no hay que preocuparse
I feel it, soothe my feeling
Cumpleaños chica,
[G]no [Dm]hay q[G]ue[Dm]
preocuparse
[G]Soothe [Dm]it,[G][Dm]
soothe [G]it, soothe my feeling
Now I feel it
[Dm]
