Intro chords: Bm  Em  C  G  Em  G  D 

       G            C            G      D 
I was just a little boy without care 

    Em              G       Em         Am      D 
I remember looking up and seeing you there 

        C             Bm            Am 
I never wandered too far from your sight 

                G                  C            Am      D 
'Cause all the love I needed was there in your eyes 

         G                                       D 
We grew up in a war zone city with a cast iron wind 

        Em                                  Am          D 
Broken lives, darken streets, and twisted steel 

      C                   G         D  Am 
But around our house the sky seems so blue 

          Em                  C                   D 
And on a wing and prayer we just muddled through 

Bm      C               G                D               Em 
And we always kept the laughter and the smile upon our face 

         C                 G               D                   Am 
In that good-old-fashion British way with pride and faultless grace 

G         C                 G                     D               Em 
I shall never forget those childhood days for as long as I shall live 

          Am                       G                  D    G 
And I'll always find my way back, always find my way back home 

G 
Tell me why in wars that made our family strong 

         Em                                          G 
As our defiant little island weathered the storm 

       C             G            Am 
There never seemed enough on my plate 

              Em           C               Am       D 
You said be grateful, say grace, don't complain 

     C          G                  D                Em 
How can I ever thank you for the lessons that I've learnt 

          C                   G                D             Am 
And the precious warmth and comfort that I've felt at every turn 

Bm       C              G                      D               Em 
And for those that sacrificed their lives for freedom and for peace 

        Am                        G                 D    G 
I will always find my way back, always find my way back home 

Em             D            C              G 
I'll give you stories, of raging, burning skies 

         D               C                G 
And our nation with its back against the wall 

        Em        D            C             G 
Like a wide-eyed school boy I hang on every word 

Am                           D 
Stories I was too young to recall 

         C              G                D              Em 
And we always kept the laughter and the smile upon our face 

         C               G                D                    Am 
In that good-old-fashion British way with pride and faultless grace 

G       C                   G                     D              Em 
I shall never forget those childhood days for as long as I shall live 

          Am                       G              D 
And I'll always find my way back, always find my way 

        C               G                D              Em 
And we always kept the laughter and the smile upon our face 

         C                G                D                   Am 
In that good-old-fashion British way with pride and faultless grace 

Bm      C                   G                    D               Em 
I shall never forget those childhood days for as long as I shall live 

          Am                        D                      G 
And I'll always find my way back, always find my way back home 

Outro……………    Em   G   D   G 

Covering Churchill’s voice saying: 
We shall fight on the beaches 
We shall fight on the landing grounds 
We shall fight in the fields, and in the streets 
We shall fight in the hills, we shall never surrender
