<9305121434.8546.0@dsbc.icl.co.uk> X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.3 PL11] Cap In Hand -- The Proclaimers ------------------------------ 3/4 time - best sung with a heavy Scottish accent! Basic strum rythym: 1 2 3 / /\/ Intro: | | | | | I could tell the meaning of a word like serene, I got some `O' grades when I was sixteen,---- I can tell the difference 'tween margarine and butter, I can say "Saskatchawen" without starting to stutter. But I can't understand why we let someone else rule our land, NC we're cap in hand. I could get a broken jaw from being in a fight, I know it's evening when day turns to night, I can understand why Stranraer lie so lowly, They could save a lot of points by signing Hib's goalie. But I can't understand why we let someone else rule our land, NC we're cap in hand. We fight when they ask us, We boast then we cower, We beg for a piece of What's already, what's already, what's already, ours. Instr: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Once I thought I could make God a bribe, So I said I was in His lost tribe, Getting handouts can be so frustrating, "Get in line son, there's five million waiting". But I can't understand why you let someone else rule your land NC You're cap in hand. No, I can't understand why we let someone else rule our land, NC We're cap in hand, cap in hand, cap in hand, cap in hand, No, I can't understand why we let someone else rule our land, NC We're cap in hand ....
