The Ignorant Englishman Chords

(ver. 1)
Beans On Toast
[Verse]
G
    I'm an ignorant Englishman wandering through Germany
      C
and I don't speak the language "excuse me, can you help me?"
G
    wow that's amazing, your english is great
D                          G
it makes me feel even more ignorant.
    C                                          G
I'm sorry about all the stuff at home with the referendum
   D                               G
it wasn't my decision, just the majority of my country men
        C                           G
and the feeling back at home now is one of regret
              D                                     G
you know they didn't even give that money to the NHS
         C                G
it was a big fat lie on a big red bus
      D                         G
these f**kin' politicians are a right bunch of cunts
    C                              G
the only thing I can say about the European Union is...
D
    Entschuldigung

[Chorus]
G      C
    Entschuldigung
   G
Entschuldigung
D          G
Friede auf Erden
   C
Entschuldigung
   G
Entschuldigung
D          G
Friede auf Erden

[Verse]
        G
I spent two weeks in Germany travelling on the trains
C
playing gigs in places with complicated names
          D
I fell in love with the country almost overnight

in a strange hotel in Quedlinburg with the window open wide
    G
and did you know that Germany's not actually called Germany?
C                          G
  it's called Deutschland, Germany's just what other countries call it
    D
and that's a funny thing to get your head around
       G                                   C
I mean imagine if you was called Steve and everyone else called you John
  G                                   D
I know there's a language barrier but really come on
   C                                G
We should be building bridges but instead we're building walls
             D                         G
and what was once the euro tunnel will soon be border patrol

[Chorus]
G      C
    Entschuldigung
   G
Entschuldigung
D          G
Friede auf Erden
   C
Entschuldigung
   G
Entschuldigung
D          G
Friede auf Erden

[Outro]
G
Travelling is good for your mind and for your soul
           C
you should try to visit places that you've never been before
D
speak to different people and experience different culture
                                               G
find the polar opposite and look for something similar
