G                          C
Ooooh you cannot reach me now
G                         C
Ooooh no matter how you try
D                        C
Goodbye cruel world it's over
         G
Walk on by

G                               G/B C  C/B Am
Sitting in a bunker here behind my wall
Am               G        C
Waiting for the worms to come
    G                            G/B C  C/B Am
In perfect isolation here behind my wall
                 G        C
Waiting for the worms to come

Am
Waiting to cut out the deadwood
Waiting to clean up the city
Am          G          Am
Waiting to follow the worms
Am
Waiting to put on a black shirt
Am
Waiting to weed out the weaklings
Am
Waiting to smash in their windows
Am
And kick in their doors
Am
Waiting for the final solution
Am
To strengthen the strain
Am          G          Am
Waiting to follow the worms
Am
Waiting to turn on the showers and fire the ovens
Am
Waiting for the queens and the coons
Am
And the reds and the Jews
Am          G          Am
Waiting to follow the worms

G
Would you like to see Britannia
G   G/B C       C   C/B
Rule again my friend
Am                     G
All you have to do is follow the worms

Would you like to send our coloured cousins
Home again my friend
All you need to do is follow the worms.
