Man From Brummagem Town

INTRO: G verse 1 I'm a man from Brummagem town D And a Brummie won't stay down I've worked from dawn, to the sun next morn With a shovel and a pick and a deal of brawn G I put the bullring there D I built Victoria square I saw the nobs give tips with bobs G And I thought I'd get my share [Refrão] C G Well, you might say I'm nouveau C G Not fit to mix with gentry C G But if you make a show C G It's money gains you entry C G I've got my country home C G My carriages and horses C G Am G I might be nouveau, but I'm riche D G C G Am G D G Playing the market forces verse 2 Well, a labourer's just a fool D A pawn and a boss's tool So, I cast my mind and what did I find? Well, I found me a golden rule G Give odds of six to four D Ten to one the draw They'll bet all day, they'll always pay G And then come back for more [Refrão] C G Well, you might say I'm nouveau C G Not fit to mix with gentry C G But if you make a show C G It's money gains you entry C G I've got my country home C G My carriages and horses C G Am G I might be nouveau, but I'm riche D G C G Am G D G Playing the market forces verse 3 Well, it must be god's good plan D So, I take it all I can The chapel gate, the silver plate Were bought by this god-fearing man G And my son will have it all D The pub, the lodge, the hall He's an empire lad just like his dad G And he's heard his country's call [Refrão] C G Well, they might say he's nouveau C G Not fit to mix with gentry C G But I gave him such a show C G My money bought him entry C G He's got the best there is C G In uniforms and horses C G Am G He might be nouveau, but he's riche D G C G Am G D G And an officer in the forces verse 4 He's smart, that lad of mine D He'll serve his country fine The Kaiser dreams of war it seems But he'd better toe the line G Oh, war would bring us hell D But jobs of work as well Be it gun or blade, it's Brummie made G And we live by what we sell D Be it gun or blade, it's Brummie made G And we live by what we sell He's smart, that lad of mine D He'll keep out of the line
