Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 (Acoustic version use walk down fill ---)
Let's  inherit the earth
 Cos no-one else is taking  it
 Come on do your worst
 Before the moment's  passed
 In bedrooms across England
 And all the western world
 There's posters and there's magazines
 But music isn't  ours
 Cos we write love  songs in C
 And we do politics  in G
 We sing songs  about our friends  in e minor
 So tear down  the stars now and take  up your guitars
 And come  on folks and try  this at home
 Let's stop waiting around
 For someone to patronise us
 Let's hammer out a sound that speaks of where we've been
 Forget about the haircuts and stupid skinny jeans
 The stampedes and the irony
 And the media-fed scenes
 Cause we write love  songs in C
 And we do politics  in  G
 We sing songs  about our friends in e minor
 So tear  down the stars now and take  up your guitars
 And come  on folks and try this at home
 Because the only  thing that punk  rock should ever  really mean
 Is not sitting  round and waiting  for the lights  to go green
 And not thinking  that youre better  cause you're still  a part of state
 And if you're oh  so fucking different  then who cares  what you have to say
 Cause theres no  such thing as rock stars
 They're just people  who play music
 And some  of them are just  like us
 And some  of them are dicks
 So quick  turn off your stereo
 Pick up  that pen and paper
 Yeah you  could do much better than
 Some skinny half-arsed English country singer
 Cause we write love  songs in C
 And we do politics  in  G
 We sing songs  about our friends in e minor
 So tear  down the stars now and take  up your guitars
  /b
 And come on folks and try this at ho-o-me
