[Verse 1]

         E                 G#m
They're breaking glass and burning buildings
       E                G#m
In the early greenhouse sun
     E                  G#m
The powers-that-be will blame extremists
    E   F#        G#m
And I may well be one
    E   F#        G#m
Yes I may well be one
    E               G#m                 E                  G#m
And old Wat Tyler's ghost is smiling as approving he looks on
     E              G#m                   E        F#     G#m
They haven't really been this angry since thirteen eighty-one
      E        F#     G#m
Since thirteen eighty-one

[Chorus]

    E           B
And I am just a jangling man
            E         B
Been in the cold too long-along-along
    E             C#min7
And I live with a Raggedy-Ann
                 A             F#
We never had any money, is it really so wrong?

[Verse 2]

E                     G#m              E             G#m
The velvet glove, the iron rod and a bridle for your tongue
    E                   G#m
The tanks which trundle through the square
           E       F#         G#m
Where the old have killed the young
    E                  G#m               E            G#m
The wind feels all the colder now in the early summer sun
    E                G#m                   E       F#      G#m
The old man sees the wall come down and he reaches for his gun
   E       F#      G#m
He reaches for his gun

[Chorus]

    E           B
And I am just a jangling man
            E        B
Been in the cold too long-along-along
    E             C#min7
And I live with a Raggedy-Ann
         A                    F#
We never had any money, is it really so wrong?
        B
When we dream
C#min7      G#m
Dream of a feeling
   B                C#min7             G#m
To wake one day and find that you are gone
            E
And will we dance?
F#         G#m
Dance by the gravesides
   B                 C#min7             G#m
So glad, so glad, so glad that you are gone

[Solo]

[Verse 3]

    E             G#m
So all you kids in Cardboard City
  E                  G#m
I hope you're having fun
    E              G#m
And all you voters everywhere
     E        F#          G#m
Will remember what you've done
E        F#          G#m
Remember what you've done
E                G#m
And wander dimly through the past
       E                G#m
Of the England that you knew
       E               G#m
These dispossessed and homeless children
     E    F#       G#m
They all belong to you
     E    F#       G#m
They all belong to you

[Chorus]

E               B
And I am just a jangling man
            E        B
Been in the cold too long-along-along
    E             C#min7
And I live with a Raggedy-Ann
         A                    F#
We never had any money, is it really so wrong?
        B
When we dream
C#min7      G#m
Dream of a feeling
   B                C#min7            G#m
To wake one day and find that you are gone
            E
And will we dance?
F#         G#m
Dance by the gravesides
   B                 C#min7             G#m
So glad, so glad, so glad that you are gone
