Key: B
Introduction:
G C G D
I was just a little boy without care
Em G Em Am D
I remember looking up and seeing you there
C Bm Am
I never wandered too far from your sight
G C Am D
'Cause all the love I needed was there in your eyes
G D
We grew up in a war zone city with a cast iron wind
Em Am D
Broken lives, darken streets, and twisted steel
C G D Am
But around our house the sky seems so blue
Em C D
And on a wing and prayer we just muddled through
Bm C G D Em
And we always kept the laughter and the smile upon our face
C G D Am
In that good-old-fashion British way with pride and faultless grace
G C G D Em
I shall never forget those childhood days for as long as I shall live
Am G D G
And I'll always find my way back, always find my way back home
G
Tell me why in wars that made our family strong
Em G
As our defiant little island weathered the storm
C G Am
There never seemed enough on my plate
Em C Am D
You said be grateful, say grace, don't complain
C G D Em
How can I ever thank you for the lessons that I've learnt
C G D Am
And the precious warmth and comfort that I've felt at every turn
Bm C G D Em
And for those that sacrificed their lives for freedom and for peace
Am G D G
I will always find my way back, always find my way back home
Em D C G
I'll give you stories, of raging, burning skies
D C G
And our nation with its back against the wall
Em D C G
Like a wide-eyed school boy I hang on every word
Am D
Stories I was too young to recall
C G D Em
And we always kept the laughter and the smile upon our face
C G D Am
In that good-old-fashion British way with pride and faultless grace
G C G D Em
I shall never forget those childhood days for as long as I shall live
Am G D
And I'll always find my way back, always find my way
C G D Em
And we always kept the laughter and the smile upon our face
C G D Am
In that good-old-fashion British way with pride and faultless grace
Bm C G D Em
I shall never forget those childhood days for as long as I shall live
Am D G
And I'll always find my way back, always find my way back home
We shall fight on the beaches
