             F#m                      A                      E
But there is too much history and too much biography between us
 
Verse 2:

Me and the Major don't see eye to eye on a

Number of things, he'll take a guy like me, and then

Me and the Major don't see eye to eye on a

Number of things, he'll take a guy like me

And put in the army

Cause the Queen's own army makes a man of you

Chorus:
       F#m                       
But he doesn't understand and he doesn't try
   A                                    
He knows there's something missing and he knows it's you and I
          C#m                    
We're the younger generation, we grew up fast
        B
All the others did drugs
                         F#m
They're taking it out on us
                         A
They're taking it out on us
                         E
They're taking it out on us
 
Verse 3:

Me and the Major are from different worlds but if

I get stick in a lift it's always with a toff

Me and the Major are from different worlds but if

I get stick in a lift it's always with a man

Of noble standing who looks down on me like I was never born

Verse 4: 

I think the Major's going quite insane he goes

Along the pavement and comes back again, oh yeah

I think the Major's going quite insane he goes

Along the pavement and comes back again

Like he is on parade, and he is on parade

At least he thinks so
 
Chorus:

Now he is swapping his tent for a sheltered home

He doesn't have a family and he is living alone

He remembers all the punks and the hippies too

And he remembers Roxy Music in '72

(Skip the last "They're taking it out on us..." part and start 

over with the Chorus chords)
 
But he doesn't understand and he doesn't try

He knows there's something missing and he knows it's you and I

We're the younger generation, we grew up fast

All the others did drugs

They're taking it out on us

They're taking it out on us

They're taking it out on us
 
I want a dance, I want a drink of whisky so I

Forget the Major and go off to town, oh boy

I want a dance, I want a drink of whisky so I

Forget the Major and go off to town


            F#m   
Because the snow is falling
    A
The snow is falling
        F#m
The snow is falling, falling, falling, falling, falling, falling, falling...
