I'll Dance On Your Grave Mrs Thatcher by John McCullagh
I'll Dance On Your Grave Mrs Thatcher
Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:no capo
A classic folk-protest song about the infamous Iron Lady written amidst
the backdrop of the Yorkshire Miners' Strike.
[Verse 1]
Am F
Just a lad of sixteen summers
C G
When the mining gates locked.
Am F
I stood there with me brothers
C G
Some with their rifles cocked.
Am F
Just hold on to your shirt, me boys,
C G
This is going the whole way.
Am F
Don't you worry was the answer back.
C G
We're with you, Arthur, all the way.
[Chorus 1]
Am
And we'll dance
F
Yes we'll dance
C G Am
We'll dance on your grave Mrs. Thatcher.
We'll dance
F
Yes, we'll dance
C G Am
We'll dance on your grave Mrs. Thatcher.
[Verse 2]
Am F
She had come well prepared
C G
With the coal that she'd amassed.
Am F
Everyday she'd try to break us down,
C G
Take the flag down from the mast.
Am F
But we stood there all united,
C G
Except the scabs down from the south;
Am F
With their cries for a ballot
C G
Taking food from our kids' mouths.
[Chorus 2]
Am
And we'll dance
F
Yes we'll dance
C G Am
We'll dance on your grave Mrs. Thatcher.
We'll dance
F
Yes, we'll dance
C G Am
We'll dance on your grave Mrs. Thatcher.
[Verse 3]
Am F
Gone twenty years, now, since it came and went
C G
But what for I hear you say.
Am F
'Twas for the right to earn a living wage
C G
In this country it's the only way.
Am F
You talk to me about your Union Jack
C G
You ask me why I'm not proud.
Am F
That's because it killed my father
C G
And can't you see that that's not allowed?
[Chorus 3]
Am
So we'll dance
F
Yes we'll dance
C G Am
We'll dance on your grave Mrs. Thatcher.
We'll dance
F
Yes, we'll dance
C G Am
We'll dance on your grave Mrs. Thatcher.
[Chorus 4]
We'll dance
F
Yes we'll dance
C G Am
We'll dance on your grave Mrs. Thatcher.
We'll dance
F
Yes, we'll dance
C G Am
I'll dance on your grave Mrs. Thatcher.
