[D]   [Bm]   [A]    [D]   [Bm]   [A]    [D]   [Bm]   [A]    [D]   [Bm]   [A]

H[D]ow are things in you[Bm]r little world, I hope[G] they're going well and you  [A]
are too

D[D]o you still see the sa[Bm]me old crowd, the one[G]s who used to meet ever[A]y
Friday?

I[D]'m really sorry that I ca[Bm]n't be there

B[G]ut work comes first I'm sure you'l[A]l understand

T[D]hings are really taking o[Bm]ff for me

B[G]usiness is thriving and I'm sh[A]owing a profit and[Bm]

A[Bm]nd in any[A] case,[D] it [Bm]wouldn't be th[A]e same   [D]

C[Bm]ause we've [D]all grown up an[Bm]d we've got ou[D]r own lives

A[Bm]nd the values th[D]at we had [Bm]once upo[D]n a time

S[Bm]eem stupid now 'cause t[A]he rent must be paid

A[Bm]nd some bonds severed an[A]d others made[Bm]     [A]         [D]

D[Bm]it dit dit dit dit [A]do n [D]do   dit di[Bm]t dit dit dit do [A]n do[D]

 [D]   [Bm]   [A]    [D]   [Bm]   [A]    [D]   [Bm]   [A]    [D]   [Bm]   [A]

N[D]ow I don't want you to ge[Bm]t me wrong, idea[G]ls are fine when you [A]are young

 [D]                   [Bm]                       [G]               [A]

A[Bm]nd I must admit we had a laugh, but that's all it was and ever will be cos

C[Bm]os the burn[A]ing sky [D]keeps[Bm] a burning b[A]right  [D]

A[Bm]nd as long as[D] it does, and [Bm]it alway[D]s will

T[Bm]here's no ti[D]me for dreams[Bm] when co[D]mmerce calls

A[Bm]nd the taxman's shouting 'cau[A]se he wants his dough

A[Bm]nd the wheels of finance w[A]on't begin to [Bm]slow [A]     [D]

D[Bm]it dit dit dit dit [A]do n [D]do  dit d[Bm]it dit dit dit do n[A] do  [D]

 [Bm]       [A]    [D]          [Bm]   [A]   [D]             [Bm]      [A]   [D]

D[Bm]it di[A]t di[D]t dit di do dit dit dit di do, dit dit dit dit di do dit dit
dit di do

A[Bm]nd it's only us realists w[A]ho are gonna come through

C[Bm]ause there's only one power [A]higher than that of truth

 [Bm]     [A]  [D]              [Bm]    [A]   [D]    [D]  [Bm]  [A]   [D]  [Bm]  [A]   [D]  [Bm]  [A]

A[D]nd [Bm]that[A]'s the burning sky, it's the burning sky

Oh and by the way I must tell you, before I sign off I've got a meeting
next week
With the head of a big corporate
I can't disclose who but I'm sure you all know him and
And the burning sky keeps a burning bright
And it won't turn off til it's had enough
It's the greedy bastard who won't give up
And you're just a dreamer if you don't realise
And the sooner you do will be the better for you
And then we'll all be happy and we'll all be wise
And we'll all bow down to the burning sky
Dit dit dit dit dit do n do, dit dit dit dit do n do
Dit dit dit dit di do dit dit dit di do, dit dit dit dit di do dit dit
dit di do
Then we'll all be happy and we'll all be wise
And together we will live beneath the burning sky
