Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
Tell  me true,  tell me why was Jesus  crucified?
Is  it for this that daddy died?
Was  it you?  Was it me?
 Did I watch  too much T.V.?
 Is that a hint  of accusation in your eyes?
If  it wasn't for the Nips
Being  so good  at building ships,
 The yards  would still be open on  the Clyde.
 And it can't be much fun for them
 Beneath  the rising sun
 With all  their kids committing suicide.
 What have we done,  Maggie what have we done?
 What have we done  to England?
Should  we shout,  should we scream,
 "What happened to  the post war dream?"
Oh,  Maggie,
 Maggie what  have we  done?
