Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 Bm7 (on 7th fret) - 4 down strokes
Who says  there  has  to a beach  to wear a bathing suit
 Well I  would lie  on pebbles  lavishly  but London's  pebbles are dirt
 And  I will  paint with knives  and  guns to ensure  that my art  is incorrect
 And I  would sleep  on sheets  of satin  and eat  my cigarettes
 Well England  has nothing  more to offer me
Everything  that I adore came  well before 1984
We  are on  a single island  I hope  you see
And  beyond our lonely  country  there is only  the Atlantic sea
 So  I will burn  a fire in Westminster  using the door  of Downing Street
And  When Tony rushes  out complaining  of a draught  I'll let him warm  his feet
 Well England  has nothing  more to offer me
 And everything  that I adore  came well before  1984

 So goodbye  (goodbye)
 Well I wish  you all well
 Well I can no  longer drive  in England  for I think  that it  is hell!  x2
 This country  has nothing  more to offer me
 Oh everything  that I adore came  well before 1984
 Yes everything  that I adore  came well before  1984
