Intro: CEmFGCEm
Mary loves the grouse, hides the bottles round the house,
FG
She watches chatshows and the soaps, broken-hearted but she copes,
CEm
Michael's out of work, feels he's sinking in the murk,
FG
He's unshaven and a mess, finds it hard some days to dress
CEm
Stevie smashes the delf, cos he can't express himself,
FG
He's consumed by rage, like his father at his age,
CEm
Rits'a little child, have a lovely little smile,
FG
This means nothing to her father, because he's never even seen her
Chorus:
FG
We sing, sing all our cares away
FGG/E
We'll live, to fight another day
Verse:
CEm
Joey's off the gear, he's been clean for half a year,
FG
He gets bored out of his mind, but he's tryin to toe the line
CEm
Maggie's in a chair, 'twas joyriding put her there,
FG
She puts the kettle on the boil, and shes always got a smile
Chorus:
FG
We sing, sing all our cares away
FG
We'll live, to fight another day
FG
We sing, sing all our cares away,
FEm
We'll live, to love another day,
CG
We grow strong, from it all,
FG
We grow strong, or we fall,
CEm
We grow strong, from it all,
FG
We grow strong, or we fall,
C
We grow strong.
