Jarrow Song Alan Price
(based on the live version from the double Anthology cd)
G D7 G D7 (x2)
My [G]name is Geordie [D7]McIntyre, An' the [G]Bairns don't even [D7]have a fire
So the [G]wife says "Geordie, go to London [D7]Town!"
And if [G]they don't give us [D7]half a chance, Don't [G]even give us a [D7]second glance
Then [G]Geordie, with my [D7]blessings, burn them [G]down
Come on follow the [D7]Geordie boys, They'll fill your [G]heart with joy
They're marching [C]for their [D7]freedom [G]now
Come on follow the [D7]Jarrow lads, They'll make your [G]heart feel glad
They're singing [C]now, yes [D7]now is the [G]hour
My [G]name is little [D7]Billy White, And I [G]know what's wrong and I [D7]know what's right
An' the [G]wife says "Geordie, go to London [D7]Town!"
An' if [G]they don't give us a [D7]couple of bob, Won't [G]even give you a [D7]decent job
Then [G]Geordie, with my [D7]blessings, burn them [G]down
Come on follow the [D7]Geordie boys, They'll fill your [G]heart with joy
They're marching [C]for their [D7]freedom [G]now
Come on follow the [D7]Jarrow lads, They'll make your [G]heart feel glad
They're singing [C]now, yes [D7]now is the [G]hour[A] [Bb] [Fsus4] [F]
Well I can [F]hear th[(]em [Fsus4]an' I ca[F]n f[)]eel them
An' it's as just as if they were here to[Bb]day[(Bbsus4] [Bb)]
I can [F]see them, I can feel them
An' I'm thinking nothing's changed much to[Bb]day[Bbsus4] [Bb]
Not [Eb]all those [F]dreams must [Gm]fade away and die
[Eb]they will [F]come and[Gm] hit you in the eye
[Eb]Now's the [F]time to [Gm]re-a-[D7]lize that time goes on
And Nothin' [Bb]changes, [C7]changes, [Ebm]chan-[Bb]ges
Now I can [F]feel them, I can see them
An' it's as just as if they were here to[Bb]day[Bbsus4] [Bb]
I can [F]feel them and I need them
An' I'm thinking nothing's changed much to[Bb]day[Bbsus4] [Bb]
Now [Eb]all those [F]dreams must [Gm]fade away and die
[Eb]They come [F]back to [Gm]hit you in the eye
[Eb]Now's the [F]time to [Gm]re-a-[D7]lize that time goes on
And nothin' [Bb]changes, [C7]changes, [Ebm]chan-[Bb]ges

[Bb] [C7] [Ebm] [Bb] [D] [G]
My [G]name is little [D7]Alan Price, I [G]tried to be nice [D7]all of my life
But I'm afr[G]aid that up to date it doesn't [D7]work
Because [G]when you make some [D7]money now, They [G]try to screw you [D7]into the ground
Now [G]where do I stand, [D7]either side or [G]not
Come on follow this [D7]Geordie boy, He'll try and fill your [G]heart with joy
We're marching [C]for our [D7]freedom [G]now
Come on follow this [D7]Jarrow lad, He'll try and make your [G]heart feel glad
We're sayin' [C]now, yes [D7]now is the [G]hour[A] [Bb] [F] [Fsus4] [F] [Fsus4] [F]
