Lie Down And Be Counted

 
           

(Intro:  G  C  G  C  D  G)


G
There's no song for the singer 

   Am                Am7
No words for the tune 

          D
There's a mess in the message 

      G
And a man on the moon 


There's no plan in the planet 

     Am              Am7
It's all gone berserk 

          D
There's a milk bottle shortage 

        G
And the traffic lights don't work 


G
Lie down and be counted 

               C
Don't take any more 

                D
Lie down and be counted 

            D   Am   G
What are we standing for? 


G                                    Am              
But there's hope for the couples who stroll in the

   Am7
park  

        D                G 
There's nuclear power to light up the dark 

                            Am               Am7
There's national health and ice in the fridge 

          D                 G    
And the occasional cow on a motorway bridge 

                           Am          Am7
There's extended credit on easier terms 

    D                     G  
And something to kill all known household germs 


G                               Am              Am7
There's sofas and armchairs and washing machines 

D                    G  
Stars on Sunday, fishfingers and beans 


G
Lie down and be counted 

               C
Don't take any more 

                D
Lie down and be counted 

            D   Am   G
What are we standing for? 


G                                  Am                 Am7
There's no song for the singer, no words for the tune 

          D                         G           
There's a mess in the message and a man on the moon 

                                    Am               Am7
There's no plan in the planet, it's all gone berserk 

           D                           G
There's an everything shortage and the traffic lights 


still don't work 


G
Lie down and be counted 

               C 
Don't take any more 

                D
Lie down and be counted 

            D   Am   G  
What are we standing for? 


G
Lie down and be counted 

               C
Don't take any more 

                D
Lie down and be counted 

            D   Am   G 
What are we standing for?
