      A         D               G
We've just been performing a guerilla gig 

       A         D                  G
In the middle of another group's guerilla gig 

      A                 D           G
Well, surely that's the ultimate guerilla gig

When the club versus country dispute arose

      A             D               G
Small children were trampled in the exodus

   A        D          G
We all knew someone at primary school

     A           D        G
Who had a really powerful magnet



C            C    B A   G
New potatoes this a way an

G             D
Arrow points innocently

C               C  B   A     G
Dirt track to a darker place that's

G               D
What it says to me

C               C  B    A  G
Last chance for hanging baskets

G                     D
There even giving you clues

C
Fresh broad-beans and aubergines 

D
Euphemisms, Audrey, euphemisms
