1 23 "Cornwallis in the Fray"
intro: C F C G F C D G
C G
Never follow a self-crowned king
D F
into a fight against your old friends
C D
Don't refuse the bread they bring
G C
and take the head it lends
F C
Don't use your brain, it'll get in the way
D F
of your thoughts and give the wrong meaning
C G
Just use your legs and you can block all the gray
D G C D
Get into the white by going for the black-seeming
F C
Pretend you're Cornwallis in the middle of the fray
D G
Make believe you're a needle hidden forever in the hay.
F C D G ...
Just imagine you aren't cool
(this might be slightly wrong. there are more chords after this too.)
