[Verse 1]
[C]Sup up your beer and col[D]lect your fags
There's a [C]row going on [D]down near slough
[C]Get out your mat and [D]pray to the west
[C]I'll get out mine and [D]pray for [F]myself[G]
[C]Thought you were smart
when you [D]took them on
But you [C]didn't take a peep
in their [D]artillery room
[C]All that rugby puts [D]hairs on your chest
What [C]chance have you got
against a [D]tie and a [F]crest?[G]

[Chorus 1]
[F]Hello, hoo[G]ray
[C]What a [G]nice [Am]day,
for the Eton rifles, Eton rifles
[F]Hello, hoo[G]ray
I hope [C]rain [G]stops [Am]play,
with the Eton rifles, Eton rifles
[Am][Am]

[Verse 2]
[C]Thought you were clever when you [D]lit the fuse
Tore [C]down the house of commons
in your [D]brand new shoes
Com[C]pose a revolutionary [D]symphony
Then [C]went to bed
with a [D]charming young [F]thing[G]

[Chorus 2]
[F]Hello, hoo[G]ray
[C]Cheers [G]then [Am]mate,
to the Eton rifles, Eton rifles
[F]Hello, hoo[G]ray
An ex[C]tre[G]mist [Am]scrape,
with the Eton rifles, Eton rifles
[Am][Am]

[Bridge 1]
[Em]What a catalyst you [F]turned out to be
[Em]Loaded the guns
then you [F]run off home for your [G]tea

[Interlude 1]
Left me standing, like a guilty schoolboy
[C][Dm][C][Dm]

[Bridge 2]
[Em]What a catalyst you [F]turned out to be

[Verse 3]
Left me standing, like a naughty schoolboy
[C]We came out of it nat[D]urally the worst
[C]Beaten and bloody
and I was [D]sick down my shirt
[C]We were no match for their [D]untamed wit
Though [C]some of the lads
said they'll be [D]back next [F]week[G]

[Chorus 3]
[F]Hello, hoo[G]ray
There's a [C]price [G]to [Am]pay,
to the Eton rifles, Eton rifles
[F]Hello, hoo[G]ray
I'd pre[C]fer [G]the [Am]plague,
to the Eton rifles, Eton rifles
[F]Hello, hoo[G]ray
There's a [C]price [G]to [Am]pay,
to the Eton rifles, Eton rifles
[F]Hello, hoo[G]ray
I'd pre[C]fer [G]the [Am]plague,
to the Eton rifles, Eton rifles
