The People's Armada Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]This moorland has been
burned deliberately
so that there's lots of food for
grouse here.
It's a driven grouse moor.
After burning, when it rains very hard,
this land doesn't hold up the water
and it rushes off very quickly.
Bad news if you live in places like the
Calder Valley in West Yorkshire,
where in 2012 you were flooded twice,
and again in 2015.
Bit of a paradox, really,
that people come up here
to have fun shooting red grouse
and at the same time cause
an enormous amount of misery
for the people living down there.
Pull to[A]gether,
[D]pull, pull [A]together,
[D]pull together, pull, pull together, pull together,
pull, pull together,
pull together, [G]pull.
Oh the rain it [D]falls, and the waters [E]rise,
[D]we're waiting in the valley[A]s,
[D]they're sitting high and dry,
they get the photo in the papers,
We get the same old [E]lies,
oh the rain it fall[C]s,
[D]and the waters rise. We are the people's [G]ar mada,
we're sailing all [D]to gether,
from the Dome to the [A]Humber[Bb],
from [D]the Coler to the [Eb]Clyde.
[D]There's a river of ang[G]er,
that we forged in the [D]wa [Bb]ter.
[C]We [G]are the people's ar [E]mada,
[Ab]comi[D]ng in on the tide.
We're filing up the sandbags,
they're digging up the beat[E]box.
[D]We're [E]bailing out the basement[Bb]s,
while [D]they're bailing out the vans.
They're flooding out the valleys
for the [G]glorious [E]12
[F]We are the [Ab]people in [C]common
[G]again[A]st [D]self, self, self
[G]We are the people's armada,
we're sailing all [D]to gether
[Eb]From [D]the Don to the[A] Humber,
[D]from the Coler to the Clyde
There's a [G]river of anger
that we've forged in the [D]wa [Bb]ter[C]
[G]We are the people's ar [E]mada
com[D]ing in on the tide
There's a rising horizon
where [G]we once had [F]trees
Now we're gonna get [Bb]polar [C]bears
[D]turned into [Eb]refugees
[D]There's a global thermostat
in the hands of the [G]ruling [E]class
But there's a [D]forecast for change
blowing [A]in on the [D]breeze
We are the people's [G]ar mada,
we're sailing all [D]to gether
From the Don to the [A]Humber,
from the Coler to [D]the Clyde
There's a river of [G]anger
that we forged in the [D]wa [Bb]ter
[B]We [G]are the people's ar mad[E]a,
[A]coming [D]in on the tide
This [G]land is your land,
[Ab]this [D]land is [G]my [Gm]land
[D]From Falmouth [A]Harbour
to Shetland [D]Islands
From Snowdon's [G]mountains
to the North Sea [D]water[Bb] s[B]
[Eb]This [E]land was [G]made by you and [Eb]me
[G]This land is your land,
this land is [D]my land
From Falmouth [A]Harbour
to the Shetland [D]Islands
From Snowdon's [G]mountains
to the North Sea [D]water[Bb]s,
[B]this land was[E] made by you[G] and me.
