[Intro 1]
[Am]
When [E]I arrive,

[Verse 1]
eyes wide, [Em]fired [Am]up
[Esus4]Tried not to slide and
[D]let the [Esus4]side down
Now the [Am]plane's [E]on the ground,
I'll find a [Am]good profession
It's [Em]1957, [G]I've com[Am]e
to the [D]motherland
To make a [Em]home, to [D]put my bed in
This weather [Am]does my head in
Some people are [G]less than kind
I wish [Em]mama [D]was here so
[Em]I could un[D]wind
But [Am]I'm supposed to be the g[Bm]ood [G]news
So I lace up [D]these hard black shoes
And [Em]look more [D]work
The streets were never [Am]paved with gold
They simply [G]make my feet
[Gsus2]hurt[Am]
They just [G]make my feet [D]hurt
[Bm]Just a little money [A]in my pocket
And a [Esus4]little bit left fo[F#m]r thos[Esus4]e I love
[E]To [Bm]have enough food [A]on my table
An[Bm]d a li[Esus4]ttle bit more
for those who call
[E]An [Bm]d in this land of[A] hope and glory
[Esus4]You'd think the[F#m]re's eno[Esus4]ugh for us all[E][Bm][A]
[Bm][Esus4][E][A][Am]
[Bm][G][Gsus2][G][D][Am][D]
When I ar[Am]rive, eyes wide, [Bm]petri[G]fied
Tried not to [Am]cry and l[D]et the sight d[Em]own
Now the plane's [D]on the ground,
it's twenty [Am]years later
Mama's in the ar[G]rival lounge
I take a [D]few seconds to kiss her
[Em]Then [D]look around at what's
happene[Am]d to my hometown
[Bm]What's [G]going on?
[Em]But
[D]Papa doesn't look too [Em]strong
[D]Rush home in a [Am]cab, windows popped
Now I [G]hear
[C]Dad cough
We [G]gotta get in before
[D]they switch the lights
And water off for the night
[Am]I have to get to kno[Em]w the guard do[G]gs
Cause [Am]they might [D]progress just
past the spot to get by
[Bm]Just a little money [A]in my [Bm]pocket
[A]And a [Esus4]little bit left fo[F#m]r thos[Esus4]e I love[E]
[Bm]To have enough food on[A] my table
An[Bm]d a li[Esus4]ttle bit more
for those who [E]call
[Bm]And [A]in this land of hope and glory
[Esus4]You think that's en[F#m]ough[Esus4]
for us [E]all[Bm][A][Bm]
[Esus4]You think that you're not for a
[E]show[Am][Em][D]
[Am][Em][D]
[Am]I wa[Bm]nt to[G] sit up [Gsus2]there get[G]ting lo[Em]w[D][Am][Bm][Gsus2][Am]
[D][Em][D][Bm][A]
[Esus4][D][Esus4][Bm][A]
[Esus4][Bm][Esus4]
[Bm]I'm a little man living in my [D]pocket
[A]An d a [Esus4]little bit left fo[Bm]r tho[Esus4]se I love[E]
[Bm]To have enough f[A]ood on my table
An[Bm]d a li[Esus4]ttle bit more
for those who call
[E]An [Bm]d in this land of[A] hope and glory
[Esus4]You'd think the[Bm]re's eno[Esus4]ugh
for us [E]all[Bm][A][Bm]
[Esus4]You'd think there's enough for us all[E]
The public needs to know that there may be
other people out there who may be planning
to attack against the
United
[G#]Kingdom.
That is why there are a number of other
security service operations underway.
There is still a very serious
threat of an attack.
The threat level is at severe,
[Cm]indicating the high likelihood of an attempted terrorist
attack at some stage.
I smell the blood [G#]of an inmate.

[G#]Mr.
Bryant is supposed to meet my brother.
