G D C G
You gotta be a dreamer to unleash the inner man
Em C G
And always have a way to beat the guessing
G D C G
And if you couldn't swim, you had to do the best you can
Em C G
That's what I took to be his blessing
[Pre-chorus]
Am D C G
And though the water may be deep and cold
Bm C G
He always pushes harder to be kind
C D
Yet on the morning after
Bm C
When things have settled down
[Chorus]
Em C
No words express what he knows
Em C
No palette paints his hand
Em C G
No ordinary hero, this old man

G D C G
Welcome to the carnivore who eats his fellow man
Em C G
Welcome to the land we call Britannia
G D C G
Where everybody needs the kinda guy that takes a stand
Em C G
You can't imagine life without him, can yer?
[Pre-chorus]
Am D C G
And though the water may be deep and cold
Bm C G
He always pushes harder to be kind
C D
Yet on the morning after
Bm C
When things have settled down
[Chorus]

No words express what he knows

No palette paints his hand
Em C G
No ordinary hero, this old man

[Verse 3]
G D C G
He got a certain rhythm and a sympathetic smile
Em C G
He's always got a tale or two to hold ya
G D C G
He'll barricade the roads when the others jump the stile
Em C G
He'll always be the one, the local soldier
[Pre-chorus]
Am D C G
And though the water may be deep and cold
Bm C G
He always pushes harder to be kind
C D
Yet on the morning after
Bm C
When things have settled down
[Chorus]

No words express what he knows
Em C
No palette paints his hand
Em C G
No ordinary hero, this old man
Em C
No words express what he knows
Em C
No palette paints his hand
Em C G
No ordinary hero, this old man
