CAPO 4TH FRET


Intro: G D G C G D G


G    D      G      C       G        D         G
If I was an Englishman I’d sing and dance and play
G            D      G        C   G                        D   Dsus4 D
I’d dig out all the old ones and beseech you heed their say.
Em                 C                G                  D
Their visions of a better life in a land as bright as day
Em        D       G       C         Em   D      G      D
I’d do my William Morris Dance and I’d be on my way.
Em        D       G       C         Em   D      G     Em D G C G D G

G    D      G      C       G        D         G
And if I was an English man I’d sing and dance all night
G            D      G        C   G                        D   Dsus4 D
I’d sing a song of Tomas Payne of darkness and of light
Em                 C                G                  D
I’d fire my favourite candles up old chokin' and old bright
Em        D       G       C         Em   D      G      D
I’d do my Stanley Spencer dance and exit to the right
Em        D       G             C         G     D     G     Em D G C G D G    
I’d do my Harold Pinter (STOP)  dance and exit to the right.


G    D      G      C       G        D         G
If I was an English man I’d raise my voice and sing
G            D      G        C   G                        D   Dsus4 D
I’d enter in the house of lords and let the rafters ring
Em                 C                G                  D
I’d sing to all those noble men of cabbages and kings
Em        D       G       C         Em   D      G      D
I’d do my Arthur Muller dance and turf them in the bin
Em        D       G       C         Em   D      G      Em D G C G D G  
I’d do my Norman Wisdom dance and turf them in the bin


G    D      G      C       G        D         G
If I was an Englishman I’d sing and dance and play
G            D      G        C   G                        D   Dsus4 D
I’d dig out all the old ones and beseech you heed their say.
Em                 C                G                  D
Their visions of a better life in a land as bright as day
Em        D       G       C         Em   D      G      D
I’d do my William Morris Dance and I’d be on my way.
Em        D       G       C         Em   D      G      
I'd do my Martian Carthy Dance and I'd be on my way.
