INTRO- G#m F# 

( G#m F# ) 
Jump down the shelters to get away 

The boys are cockin' up their guns 

Tell us general, is it party time? 

If it is can we all come 

  
( E F# ) 
Don't think that we don't know 

Don't think that we're not trying 

Don't think we move too slow 

It's no use after crying 

Saying 

  
( G#m F# D#m C#m ) 
It's a mistake, it's a mistake 

It's a mistake, it's a mistake 

  
( G#m F# ) 
After the laughter as died away 

And all the boys have had their fun 

No surface noise now, not much to say 

They've got the bad guys on the run 

  
( E F# ) 
Don't try to say you're sorry 

Don't say he drew his gun 

They've gone and grabbed old Ronnie 

He's not the only one saying 

  
( G#m F# D#m C#m ) 
It's a mistake, it's a mistake 

It's a mistake, it's a mistake 

  
( G#m F# ) 
Tell us commander, what do you think? 

'Cos we know that you love all that power 

Is it on then, are we on the brink? 

We wish you'd all throw in the towel 

  
( E F# ) 
We'll not fade out too soon 

Not in this finest hour 

Whistle your favourite tune 

We'll send a card and flower 

Saying 

  
( G#m F# D#m C#m ) 
It's a mistake, it's a mistake 

It's a mistake, it's a mistake
