Bm A Bm

With all the clarity of dream

A Bm

The sky so blue, the grass so green

Bm A Bm

The rank and file and the navy blue

Em A F#m Bm

The deep and strong, the straight and true

Bm A Bm

The blue line they got the given sign

A Bm

The belts and boots march forward in time

Bm A bm

The wood and leather the club and shield

Em A F#m Bm

Swept like a wave across the battlefield

Bm A Bm

Now with all the clarity of dream

A Bm

The blood so red, the grass so green

A Bm

The gleam of spur on chestnut flank

Em A F#m Bm

The cavalry did burst upon the ranks

Bm A Bm

Oh the iron will and iron hand

A Bm

In england's green and pleasant land

A Bm

No music for the shameful scene

Em A F#m Bm

That night they said it had even shocked the queen

Bm A Bm

Well alas we've seen it all before

Bm A Bm

Knights in armour, days of yore

Bm A Bm

The same old fears and the same old crimes

Em A F#m Bm

We haven't changed since ancient times

It sounds allright if you just make some fingerplay between the verses and just

simplifies it doing the verses

My suggestion is something like this:

(left hand holds Bm - only right hand fingerplay, keep playing this over

when you shift the chords, it will sound allright)
