Love On The Dole

[A] [D]

[A]How many cups of wine will I have consumed? [D]
[A]The people realise they have rolled past my tomb[D]
[A]We're drinking whisky in a brave new afternoon[D]
[A]The people realise they have rolled past my tomb [D]

[A]Strike a light
[C]Raise your glasses
[D]Drink a toast to the [Eb]boring classes
[G]On the Albion-ay
Spew it out your [C]soul
Love is on the d[D]ole
And there she [G]will stay
[C]All night l[D]ong we were singing N[G]orthern songs
[C]All night l[D]ong we were singing N[G]orthern songs

Only you battered your broken nose on the grindstone
You wake a slave you squandered
So your soul is not your own
I run from the dust and gloom
With only my secrets to keep me warm
That's all I could do to keep them from you
And its all a pact we swore

Strike a light
Raise your glasses
Drink a toast to the boring classes

With Albion-ay
Spew it out your soul
Love is on the dole
And there she will stay

All night long we were singing Northern songs
All night long we were singing Northern songs

[A]And I love [C]every inch of you
[A]Yes I do love[C] every single inch of you
[A]But doesn't she get that wa[C]rm glow inside?
S[A]hoots up your spine and b[C]lows through your mind
[Dm]Oh well, don't you tell me how [G]blessed are the poor
[C]You've always wanted o[C]ne [G]slice [C]more
[G]Than you and me
Love for t[A]oday makes

My darling was a preacher on the Albion stage
She might have been a preacher in the good old days
We're drinking whisky in a brave new afternoon
Don't people realise they've rolled past my tomb

[Dm]Oh well
Don't you tell me how b[C]lessed are the meek
[G]You never turn the [C]oth[G]er [C]cheek
O[G]nce in your life
Love is on the [C]dole.
