God Save The Hungry Chords & Lyrics - Grace Petrie

[INTRO]
[B] [G#m] [E] [B] [G#m]

[VERSE 1]
[E]Am I an[B] agitator?
[F#]For not thinking it's cool
[B]Some were born to suffer,
[E]While some were born to [G#m]rule
[G#m]Does that make me a traitor
Before you [E]toss that wo[B]rd around
Please under[E]stand that I [B]love this land of [F#]mine

[PRE-CHORUS]
[E]And ya, it's true God ain't my thing
[B]But if He was I'd [F#]rather sing
[E]For all of the refugees
[B]Perishing in [F#]foreign seas
[E]Thoses bodies washed upon the shores
[Bm]Were fleeing our state[F#] sponsored wars
[E]And our leader sees nothing wrong
[B]So I wrote him a [F#]brand new song,

[CHORUS]
[E]That goes, God save the [B]hungry
[G#m]God save the poor
[E]God save those [B]desperate souls
[F#]Whose lives were torn [G#m]apart by war
God save the [B]homeless
And those with [F#]dis-a-[G#m]bilities
[E]And all the other [B]targets of
This [F#]heartless ide[G#m]ology
And there's a long and [B]shameful list
[F#]Of folks we need God [G#m]to assist
But those who sleep in [B]palaces at [F#]night
[E]I think they're doing [B]alright

[INSTRUMENTAL]
[B] [G#m] [B] [G#m]

[VERSE 2]
And [E]Britain could be [B]greater
If it had [F#]fairness at it's heart
Oh, this [B]nation altogether
is more than the [E]sum of it's [B]parts
But they'll call you a[G#m] traitor
For even daring to [B]believe.
A slight of [E]hand from those who [B]bleed this land [F#]dry

[PRE-CHORUS]
And [E]ya, it's true God ain't my thing
[B]But if He was I'd [F#]rather sing
[E]For all of the refugees
[B]Perishing in [F#]foreign seas
Thoses bodies [E]washed upon the shores
[B]For fleeing our state [F#]sponsored wars
And [E]our leader sleeps sound at night
'[B]Cause he's got all the [F#]lyrics right

[CHORUS]
[E]Well, God save the [B]hungry
[F#]God save the [G#m]poor
[E]God save [B]those desperate souls
[F#]Whose lives were torn [G#m]apart by war
[G#m]God save the homeless
And those with [F#]dis-a-[G#m]bilities
[E]And all the other [B]targets of
This [F#]heartless ide[G#m]ology
And there's a long and [B]shameful list
[F#]Of folks we need God [G#m]to assit
But those who [E]sleep in p[B]alaces at [F#]night
I think they're doing [G#m]alrig[F#]ht [E]
I think they're doing [G#m]alrig[F#]ht [E]

[VERSE 3]
So give me a [F#]song,
And thoe [G#m]I'm sticking my throat
If you [B]agree the only [F#]power we should respect
[E]Is that come from a [F#]vote
So give me a [G#m]song,
[G#m]that won't stick in my throat
[B]To see our [E]millionaire [B]politicians [F#]say
We're all in the same [E]boat

[PRE-CHORUS]
[E]And ya, it's true God ain't my thing
[B]But if He was I'd rather [F#]sing
For all [E]of the refugees
[B]Perishing in [F#]foreign seas
Thoses [E]bodies washed upon the [B]shores
For fleeing our state [F#]sponsored wars
And [E]our leader sees nothing w[B]rong
So raise your voices [F#]sing along

[CHORUS]
[G#m]Yae, God [E]save the [B]hungry
[F#]And God save the [G#m]poor
God save [B]those desperate souls
[F#]Whose lives were torn [G#m]apart by war
God save the [B]homeless
And those with [F#]dis-a-bili[G#m]ties
[F#]And [E]all the other [B]targets of
This [F#]Tory ideo[G#m]logy
And my gratitude to [B]all the brave
[F#]soldiers spinnin[G#m]' in their grave
[F#]To see the Eton Mes[B]s that Dav[F#]e made
Of the sacri[G#m]fice they gave
To tear a[B]part the welfare state
[F#]And all that ever made Bri[G#m]tain great
While those who sleep in pal[B]aces t[F#]onight
Yae, [E]they're still doing [B]alrig[G#m]ht
They're stil[B]l doing alri[G#m]ght [B]
