Verse 1
A
Oh Lord, won't you tell me,
Bm
D
I'm sure I don't know
Who makes the plans that
A

change our lives so
A
From a place in the country,
Bm
D
so peaceful and calm
We moved up to London as the
A
bombs fell around
Verse 2
E

At the street by the river where the rent,
it was cheap
The landlord, he told us,

For a regular payment,
Bm
D
week after week
You'll always have a roof under
A
which you can sleep
Verse 3
A
The years had passed by,
Bm
D
the war came to an end
We lived out our lives,
A
did nothing to offend
E
A
But the landlord's conditions,
Bm

yearly they grew
With the size of his gut and his
A
housing values
Verse 4
E
He'd kneel on a Sunday
D
and pray to the Lord
A
For the deals of love his world

cannot afford

When the bastard,

he came 'round to raise up our rent
We swallowed our pride and
A
we smiled our best

Bricks and mortar, kingdom of stone

When you go, you're all alone

will cry

Verse 6
A
Greed knows no boundaries,
Bm
D
greed does not feel
I'm damned if I'll die for
A
E
a profiting deal
A
The woman next door,
Bm
she just passed away
D
For the rent grew so high
A
that she just couldn't pay
Verse 7
E
D
And there in the bed she closed
up her eyes
The last time they gazed
A
E
on this world of lies
A

With nowhere to go and nothing to say
A
She went to the next world and the bastard,
Verse 8
he smiled
D

Bricks and mortar, kingdom of stone

Where would you go,

you're all alone

They'll carve your name where you lie

And I for one no tears will cry

D
A
Oh Lord, won't you tell me,
Bm

I'm sure I don't know
What makes some people

so callous and cold

I've lived in this house
Bm

for 44 years
My children were born here,

it's here I'll grow old

A curse on you, bastard landlord,
be damned
Who needs one more house like a
A

beach needs more sand
A
I'll stay here 'til I'm done,
Bm
D
only then will I go
It was never meant that one
A
man should treat the others so
