None of them
G Bm Em D
For five generations my family have farmed,
C Bm Am D
by horse and by tractor, by hoe and by hand,
G Am Bm D
but that won't stave off the bank's latest demand.
Am D G
Singing oh the hard times of old England
Am D G
In old England very hard times
G Bm Em D
Time was, I could sell what I grew at the shop,
C Bm Am D
Then Tesco's turned up, all of that had to stop.
G Am Bm D
Now I can't make a living out of my crop.
Am D G
Singing oh the hard times of old England
Am D G
In old England very hard times
G Bm Em D
More and more of our village gets sold every day,
C Bm Am D
To folks from the city who are happy to pay,
G Am Bm D
For their holiday cottage to stand empty all day.
Am D G
Singing oh the hard times of old England
Am D G
In old England very hard times
G Bm Em D
The Countryside Alliance expects, I suppose,
C Bm Am D
My support when they're marching to bloody Blair's nose,
G Am Bm D
But they said not a word when our post office closed.
Am D G
Singing oh the hard times of old England
Am D G
In old England very hard times
G Bm Em D
The hedgerows my grandfather tended have gone,
C Bm Am D
And with them the lapwing and the corncrake's sad song.
G Am Bm D
I fear I'll be carried off before long.
Am D G
Singing oh the hard times of old England
Am D G
In old England very hard times
G Bm Em D
And now to conclude and to finish my song;
C Bm Am D
Let's hope that these hard times they will not last long,
G Am Bm D
And I may soon have occasion for to alter my song
Am D G
Singing oh the hard times of old England
Am D G
In old England very hard times
