[Verse 1]
I hear a
[D]gang fire on a [G]human factory [D]farm[A][D][G]
Are they howling [D]out or [G]doing
somebody [D]harm[A][G]
On a catwalk [D]jungle some[G]body
grabbed [D]my arm[A]
[G]A voice spoke so col[D]d it matched
the [G]weapon in her [D]palm
[G]

[Verse 2]
This is [D]England[G]
This knife of [D]Sheffield [A]steel[G]
This is [D]England[Em]
This is [D]how we [A]feel[G]

[D][A][G][D][G][D][A]
[G]Time

[Verse 3]
on his [D]hands [G]freezing
in those [D]clothes[A]
[G]He won't go for the car[D]rot
They [G]beat him by [D]the [A]pole
[G]Some sunny day[D] confro[G]nted
by his [D]soul[A][G]
He's out at [D]sea, too [G]far off,
he can't go [D]home
[A][G]

[Verse 4]
This is [D]England[G]
What we're sup[D]posed to die [G]for
This is [D]England
[Em]And we're never gonna [D]cry no more
[G]Black

[Verse 5]
shadow of [D]the Vincent
[G]Falls on a Triumph [D]line[A][G]
I got my mo[D]torcycle jacket
But I'm [G]walking all the [D]time[A]
[G]South Atlantic win[D]d blows
[G]Ice from a dying [D]creed[A][G]
I see no [D]glory
[G]When will we be [D]free
[A][G]

[Verse 6]
This is [D]England
[G]We can chain you to [D]the rai[A]l[G]
This is [D]England
[Em]We can kill you in a[D] jail[A]

[Verse 7]
[D]The[G][D]

British boot[D]s go kick them
[G]Got 'em in the [D]head[A][G]
Police ain't [D]watchin'
[G]The newspapers been [D]read[A][G]
Who cares to [D]protest
[G]A (???) in the eye like a f[D]lare[A][G]
Out came the [D]batons and
The [G]British warned them[D]selves
[A][G]
