VERSE 1
[B6] He didn’t ask much
[B6] Just captain’s stripes from [Ebm] hour of birth
[B6] Headmaster-full-marked
[B6] Internal-bruised, a [Eb7] blue, a first
[Eb7] Moral murk
[Abm6] Do your worst [Eb7]
CHORUS 1
[Abmaj7] God bless Mr. [Fm6] X
[Abmaj7] Consent, love, re [F] spect
[Eb7] Moral twister
[Eb7] God bless Mr. [C6] X
VERSE 2
[B6] A bomb in a car
[B6] Down south because of [Ebm] Sunningdale
[B6] A Chetnik he loved
[B6] Who vanished in the [Eb7] west end rain
A [Eb7] miner framed
Co [Abm6] lonial gains [Eb7]
CHORUS 2
[Abmaj7] God bless Mr. [Fm6] X
[Abmaj7] Locate more blank [F] cheques
[Eb7] Pimp my sister
A bonus, Mr. [Am] [Ab] [Am] X
INTERLUDE
[Spoken]
A celibate heart
In a halibut corpse
In a Novotel tomb
With a professional escort
So the bullet won’t fly
To the home of the file
Where a limp bluestocking
Is feeing the servile
CHORUS 3/OUTRO
[Abmaj7] God bless Mr. [Fm6] X
[Abmaj7] Someday, stretch his [F] neck
[Eb7] Heart’s a blister
[Eb7] I blame Mr. [C6] X
Be [Dm7] moaning a [C6] lack of respect
