[Verse 1]
[D]We're hurrying home
from [B]Sheffield[F#]
Having received [F#m]a phon[G]e call
[D]From our tearful [B]neph[F#]ew
[B]Who[F#]m we had lef[F#m]t in char[G]ge
[Bm]It's happened [C#m]again,
[D]the pub's flooded [Em]again
[F#]Humber [D]burst its [G]banks this morning

[Verse 2]
[D]We've [Am]been over [E]to see our mam
[D]Who's [Am]in the later stage[E]s of dementi[D#]a
[G#m]She didn't understand that we[B] had to go[C#]
[B]A who[G#m]le box of Maltesers got
sent [F#]rolling all over the floor

[Verse 3]
[Bm]How little we [C]are,
[Em]clung to the [D]river's edge
[Bm]Come hell or high [C]water,
[Em]how little we [D]are
Ahh, ah[Bm]h- ahh- ahh,
[C]ahh, ahh- ahh- [Bm]ah h-[C] a[Em]hh

[Verse 4]
[D]We park up by the derelict [B]primary school
Tie [F#]bags for life around [G]our ankles
And [D]wade across the [B]playing field
Through [F#]the council es[F#m]tate
to the [G]market square
The [Bm]whole town's come [A]out
[D]to stand dumbly [Em]about
[F#]Star[Gdim]ing at t[D]he filt[G]hy water

[Verse 5]
The [D]guy [Am]from the vape shop
[E]Ferrying his chocolate labs
[D]Waves [Am]to us cheerily
[E]From a leaky [D#]kayak
[G#m]I've lost everything a[B]part from what counts
[F#]Poin[G#m]ting to his dogs
and [B]then at his [F#]heart

[Verse 6]
[Bm]How little we [C]are,
[Em]clung to the [D]river's edge
[Bm]Come hell or high [C]water, [Em]how little we a[D]re
Ahh, ahh- ahh- ahh, ahh,
[Bm]ah h[C]- ah[Bm] h- [C]ahh- ahh

[Verse 7]
[D]There's a crowd gathered 'round
the fat headed [B]butcher
Who's back on his soap box [F#]again
Be[F#m]moaning the lack of
[Bm]adequate [G]flood defences
Some[D]how putting it down to [B]an
Insurge of [Bm]benef[F#m]it-
scrounging [G]immigrants
While [D]handing out packs of sausages,
black [B]puddings, ham and hag[F#]gises
Avoiding making [D]eye contact,
we hurry pas[G]t the bay[Em]ing throng[G][Bm]
Our beer [C#m]garden [D]lies in dis[Em]array
[F#]Tangled [D]chair legs and
[G]drowned umbrellas

[Verse 8]
[A]Cross[Am]ing the threshold,
[E]we are overwhelmed
[A]To find [Am]our neighbours who we've
[E]never actually [D#]spoke [G#m]to
Working frantically [B]to save our pub
[G#m]Lifting the tables clear and [F#]sweeping

[Verse 9]
them away the liquid mud
[Bm]How little we [C]are,
[Em]clung to the [D]river's edge
[Bm]Come hell or high [C]water,
[Em]how little we [D]are
Ahh, ahh- ahh- [Bm]ah h,[C] ahh, ah[Bm] h- ahh- ahh- [C]ahh[D][Em][E][B][D][B]

[Interlude 1]
[E][F#][B][D][C#m][G#m]
[B][A][B][A][Bm][C]
[Em][D][Bm][C][Em][D][Bm][C]
[Em][D][Bm][C][Em][D]

[Verse 10]
[Bm]How little we [C]are,
in the [Em]mouth of the [D]world
[Bm]Come hell or high [C]water,
[Em]how little we [E]are
[Bm]Ahh, ah[C]h- ahh- ahh,
[Bm]ahh, ah[C]h- [Bm]ah h[C]- ahh- ahh
Ahh, ahh- [Bm]ahh- ahh, ah[C]h,
ahh- [Em]ah h- ahh- ahh- ahh
