A [Verse 1] A Bm D Oh Lord won't you tell me I'm sure I don't know, D A E Who makes the plans that change our lives so, A Bm D From a place in the country so peaceful and calm, D A We moved up to London as the bombs fell around, E D On a street by the river where the rent it was cheap, D A E The Landlord he told us "Its yours to keep", A Bm D For regular payment week after week, D A You'll always have a roof under which you can sleep. [Verse 2] A Bm D The years past by, the war came to an end, D A E We lived out our lives did nothing to offend, A Bm D But the Landlord's conditions yearly they grew, D A With the size of his gut and his housing values, E D He'd kneel on a Sunday and pray to the Lord, D A E For the deals of love his world cannot afford, A Bm D When the Bastard he came round to put up our rent, D A We swallowed our pride and we smiled our best. [Chorus] D G Bricks and mortar, Kingdom of Stone, A D Where do you go when you're all alone, G A They'll carve your name where you lie, Bm G And I for one no tears will cry. [Bridge] G D A G A D [Verse 3] A Bm D Greed knows no boundaries, greed doesn't feel, D A E I'm damned if I'll die for a profiting deal, A Bm D The woman next door she just passed away, D A 'Cause the rent got so high that she just couldn't pay., E D And there in the bed she closed up her eyes, D A E The last time she gazed on this world of lies, A Bm D With nowhere to go and nothing to say, D A She went to the next world and the Bastard he smiled. D G Bricks and mortar, Kingdom of Stone, A D Where do you go when you're all alone, G A They'll carve your name where you lie, Bm G And I for one no tears will cry. [Bridge] G D A G A D [Verse 4] A Bm D Oh Lord won't you tell me I'm sure I don't know D A E What makes some people so callous and cold A Bm D I've lived in this house for forty-four years D A My children were born here, its here I'll grow old E D A curse on you, Bastard Landlord be damned D A E Who needs one more house like a beach needs more sand A Bm D I'll stay here till I'm done only nobody knows D A How God can let one man treat others so
