New Model Army – Courage Chords on Piano & Ukulele

[Intro]
Dm Dm Am Am Gm Gm F A7 (1x)

[Verse 1]
   Dm
We walk every morning
in the silence
         Am
Past the mills on Whetley Lane
          Gm
Where the lights went out
 for the very last time
         F               A7
And they never came on again
    Dm
The spokesmen all shred
 crocodile tears
       Am
In the glory of the news at ten
        Gm
But the proudest eyes are
 long since dry
            F
And they're never gonna
       A7
cry again

[Chorus]
     Dm
I salute your courage and
   Am
 I toast to your health
      Gm
I wish you all the luck in
 the whole wide world
        F
May you never be broken
        A7
like they say you will

[Verse 2]
Dm
Waking up sudden
from a nightmare
         Am
You were walking in
 the line in pain
       Gm
With a shaven head to
 the slaughterhouse
        F                 A7
And you never came back again
        Dm
But she took me in her
arms and she held me
      Am
Close tight for a
minute or two
       Gm
And then we smiled and
laughed, closed our eyes
F            A7
Slept again, thinking of you

[Chorus]
        Dm
And the way that it is,
            Am
 the way that it really is
         Gm
With the money talking
and a scapegoat lover
         F
With the painted face
      A7
of a scolding mother
    Dm
I salute your courage and
   Am
I toast to your health
      Gm
I wish you all the luck in
 the whole wide world
        F
May you never be broken
        A7
like they say you will be

   Dm
We're walking here in
silence every morning
         Am
Past the mills on
Whetley Lane

Where the lights went
 out for the very last time
         F                A7

         Dm
And they never came on again
 (never came on)
         Am
And they never came on again
                      Gm
 (never came on) a - gain
