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                   Bm
The deep and strong, the straight and true

Bm                  A            Bm
The blue line they got the given sign
                           A          Bm
The belts and boots march forward in time
Bm                   A            Bm
The wood and leather the club and shield
Em                A                        Bm
Swept like a wave across the battlefield

Bm                    A      Bm
Now with all the clarity of dream
                  A             Bm
The blood so red, the grass so green
                     A        Bm
The gleam of spur on chestnut flank
Em              A                      Bm
The cavalry did burst upon the ranks

Bm                   A        Bm
Oh the iron will and iron hand
                   A            Bm
In england's green and pleasant land
                  A       Bm
No music for the shameful scene
Em                          A                        Bm
That night they said it had even shocked the queen

Bm                       A      Bm
Well alas we've seen it all before
Bm                 A       Bm
Knights in armour, days of yore
Bm                          A          Bm
The same old fears and the same old crimes
Em                 A                       Bm
We haven't changed since ancient times
