Pack up what you own,
        B6                 C#m
and you dial up who you can phone,
        D#m              C#m
and you save up all your pennies,
       D#m                     C#m
and we hope but, oh -- is there any --
       D#m            C#m                   E6
and we wonder, oh, how can he put you out tonight?

B5             C#5
Go back in your mind,
B5              C#5
twenty years in time,
         D#m                        C#m 
and we’ll go a-walking through your garden;
        D#m                           C#m
see the trees you planted in your yard then.
         D#m                     C#m
All your work, it didn’t seem so hard then,
               E
but it’s hard tonight.


B5                C#5
Five years further on,
         B5                       C#5
from the stage it looked like we’d won,
       D#m                          C#m
but how many of those who heard you play
     D#m                   C#m
have gone their insouciant ways?
        D#m                       C#m
And the streets run bloody to this day,
                 E6                   
and to your house tonight.


     D#m        C#m
And we, still so touched,
       D#m            C#m
can we offer you that much
       D#m             C#m
more than those who you fought
         D#m         C#m
and who left you with nought,
       E6  D#m
and who lied to you?
    E6     D#m
They lied to you
    E6             D#m
but this you always knew.


     B6                  C#m
So pack up your bulls and smalls,
          B6                          C#m
and we’ll tack up your painting on our walls,
          D#m                     C#m
and we’ll write down all our songs then,
          D#m              C#m
and we’ll right up all our wrongs then,
         D#m                            C#m
and we’ll tear up the streets a million strong then,
             E6
in your name tonight.
