The Kinks - Here Come the People in Grey: chords

C7
I got a letter this morning with some serious news
That's gone and ruined my day
    F7
The borough surveyor's used compulsory purchase
     C7
To acquire my domain
               G7
They're gonna pull up the floors
               F7
They're gonna knock down the walls
               C7
They're gonna dig up the drains

Here come the people in grey
They're gonna take me away to Lord knows only where
But I'm so unprepared
I got no time to pack and I've got nothing to wear
Here come the people in grey
To take me away

Me and my baby gonna get on a train
That's gonna take us away
We're gonna live in a tent
We're gonna pay no more rent
We're gonna pay no more rates
We're gonna live in a field
We're gonna buy me a gun to keep the policemen away

Chorus:
          C7
I'm gonna pass me a brand new resolution
                                               F7
I'm gonna fight me a one man revolution, some way
      F7                   C7
Gonna beat those people in grey
    G7                       F7
But here come the people in grey
            C7
To take me away
 G7                      F7
Here come the people in grey
            C7
To take me away

The people in grey have gone and taken away
My right to voice my complaint
Her Majesty's Government have sent me a form
I must complete it today
But it's making me blue
Don't wanna tell all my secrets to
The people in grey

Chorus:
Gonna pass me a brand new resolution
Gonna fight me a one man revolution, some way
Gonna start my rebellion today
But here come the people in grey
To take me away

Oh, Lord, those people in grey
I gotta get back at those people in grey
Here come the people in grey
To take me away
