[Verse 1]
G                   C
Down, down, you can see them all
Ab                  F
Rising gaily to the top
Am                        Em
Keep on rising, babe, you know you got a long drop
C                                Em
You better cling 'cause it's the done thing

[Verse 2]
G                  C
Down, down, at the policeman's ball
Ab                       F
They're all dancing in a line
Am                                     Em
Keep on gruntin', boys, you know you're doin' fine
C                      Em
Come quickly, I've been strangled

[Verse 3]
G              Fm  C
Down, down, at the military
Ab                             F
They're all marching round and round
Am                              Em
Keep them boots shined and that still upper lip down
C              Em
Ablution, revolution

[Verse 4]
G                  C
Down, down, at the launching pad
Ab                   F
Giant phallus stands erect
Am                         Em
Ten thousand tons of waste throb then eject
C                           Em
Look out space, we're gonna change our place

[Verse 5]
G                  C
Down, down, in old England town
Ab                          F
There was air and now there's smoke
Am                        Em
Let's build more cars and drive away before we choke
C                    Em
Suddenly it's always night time

G                   C
Down, down, at that nice trade fair
Ab                 F
All the money gone astray
Am                           Em
Let's inflate this price and float away
C                   Em
Just you and me and everyone
Ebm
