Bm A Bm With all the clarity of dream A Bm The sky so blue, the grass so green Bm A Bm The rank and file and the navy blue Em A F#m Bm The deep and strong, the straight and true The blue line they got the given sign The belts and boots marched forward in time The wood and the leather the club and shield Swept like a wave across the battlefield Now with all the clarity of dream The blood so red, the grass so green The gleam of spur on the chestnut flank The cavalry did burst upon the ranks Oh the iron will and the iron hand In England's green and pleasant land No music for the shameful scene That night they said it had even shocked the queen Well alas we've seen it all before Knights in armour, days of yore The same old fears and the same old crimes We haven't changed since ancient times You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA  Em  F#m  Bm  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
