Verse
C Em C Up and down the Strand Am F I strolled around penniless C Em C But there were pockets to pick Am F Beneath the hot august sun C Em C When suddenly the sound Am F Of singing and laughter arose in the distance C Em C And it drew me towards it Am F And as I drew closer I could hear the song they sang:
Bridge
C Am G* G G* "This is your country too! C G G* G Join our procession Am G That's marching onwards to war"
Verse 2
C Em C I could see them Am F I saw how rich they all were C Em C At the the head of the gang Am F were top civil servants and captains of industry C Em C With well-manicured hands Am F And greasy smiles enticing the populous C Em C "Come buy our shares! Am F Who will buy our shares?"
Bridge
C Am G* G G* "For this is your country too!" C G G* G A great procession Am G Was marching onwards to war
Chorus
C G C A man on the dole stood cursing them all C G C He told everyone not to be taken in C G C But at the orders of one of the marchers G C G C Policemen came and beat him to the floor

Verse 3
C Em C Along Whitehall Am F These dubious characters stared C Em C Picking up more and more people Am F MP's, careerists and God's oppressed senators C Em C With the sweetest of smiles Am F They held out piggy banks to little children, but C Em C As they took them Am F The stomping stamping feet trampled them underneath
Bridge
