THE PEOPLE WHO GRINNED Housemartins
The [Am]smiled so much a[Bb]nd waved their flags
Am C (barre chord on 3rd fret) As she saluted
to the military band
Most[Am] of the people f[Bb]ailed to see
She [Am]had a broken bot[C]tle in the other hand
And s[F]he took them by surprise
Dm (barre chord 5th fret)
When she took them by the throat
Bb C (barre chord on 3rd fret)
And she said "My friend you're not allowed to vote"
F (barre chord on 8th fret)
But they shook it all off,
With [Dm]a nervous laugh and cough,
"Next[Bb] time," she said "I'll let [C]those people choke"
The [F]people who grinned themselves to death
Eb (barre chord on 6th fret)
Smiled so much they failed to take a breath
And [Bb]even when their kids were starving
They[C] all thought the queen was charming
She polished all upon the wall
And ran her hands right through her hair So if the lady took
the time to call
All the houses on the street would not compare
And she thought it really funny
That she hadn't any money
But those she looked up to, they had,
But they shook it all off
With a nervous laugh and cough
And when they took her riches it was sad
