  Intro: (fast) with the harmonica going

  duh d-d-duh d-d-duh d-d-duh on F#

  

  F# - B

  

  Verse 1:

  F#         B             F#          B

  Me and the Major could become close friends cause we

  F#          B                F#        B

  Get on the same train and he wants to talk to me

  F#         B             F#           B

  Me and the Major could become close friends cause we

  F#         B                 F#       B

  Get on the same train and he wants to talk

               G#m                      B                      F#

  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:

         G#m

  But he doesn't understand and he doesn't try

     B

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

            Ebm

  We're the younger generation, we grew up fast

          C#

  All the others did drugs

                           G#m

  They're taking it out on us

                           B

  They're taking it out on us

                           F#

  They're taking it out on us

  

  Verse 3:

  Me and the Major are from different worlds but if

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

  Me and the Major are from different worlds but if

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

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

  

  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

  

  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

  Because the snow is falling

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

  Forget the Major and go off to town

              G#m

  Because the snow is falling

      B

  The snow is falling

  Falling, falling, falling, falling, falling, falling.
