VERSE 1
********
                    C
When I was young, I joined the march
    Am                 Dm
And sang 'The Long Way Down'
                     F
There's photos of me carrying
   C           Dm
My banner into town
                    F
And though it was a lonely path
    C              Am
The bomb we had to ban
  Dm             C
I had a dream, I wanted one
  Am                Dm   C
I didn't give a damn

VERSE 2

  Dm                 C
I met the girl who's with me still
    Am          Dm
One festival in spring
                      F
We loved the tunes we loved the words
   C                  Dm
We loved to stand and sing
                    F
We followed Bob, we followed Paul
   C               Am
We followed with a pram
    Dm                C
The times they were a-changin’
   Am                 Dm    C   Am   Dm
And we didn't give a damn

VERSE 3
********
                      C
Then somewhere in the Seventies
    Am                  Dm
The time just passed us by
                   F
We voted left, but shifted right
    C                Dm
And Bob found god on high
                     F
The mortgage and the office and
    C                 Am
The rush hour traffic jam
   Dm                 C
We chased that golden promise
       Am                Dm   C
And we didn't give a damn

VERSE 4
********
    Dm                  C
The Eighties, god bless Maggie
          Am                 Dm
Well, the Eighties they were fine
                 F
We re-discovered Paul
             C                Dm
And saw the unions brought in line
                    F
The British won the Falklands war
    C            Am
Who needed Uncle Sam?
   Dm                  C
We waved our flags and cheered our lads
    Am                Dm   C   Am   Dm
And didn't give a damn

VERSE 5
********
                   C
I'm sixty now, and so's the wife
    Am              Dm
Our soldier son was free
                   F
He did his bit, he did us proud
   C                    Dm
We watched him march in line
                   F
We saw him get his medal
        C                Am
Saw him smile at his old man
   Dm               C
we were so proud he was our son
   Am              Dm   C
We didn't give a damn

VERSE 6
********
     Dm               C
Then came that bloody murderer
    Am                Dm
The fool they call Hussein
                       F
To think that he would call our bluff
    C               Dm
The man was quite insane
                     F
And our lad, he went after him
   C         Am
We got a telegram
Dm                  C
Friendly fire, they said it was
    Am                Dm   C
And now who gives a damn?

VERSE 7

                    C
When I was young, I joined the march
    Am                 Dm
And sang 'The Long Way Down'
                     F
There's photos of me carrying
   C           Dm
My banner into town
                        F
But somewhere down that lonely path
     C             Am
From then, to who I am
  Dm               C
I lost my dream, I lost my son
    Am               Dm   C
Too late to give a damn
