Sting – What Have We Got chords

[Verse]
DGood people give ear to me story,
                     C           Dpay attention, and none of your lip,
for I've brought you five lads and their daddy,
                 C           Dintending to build ye's a ship.

DWallsend is wor habitation,
                     C           Dit's the place we was all born and bred
and there's nay finer lads in the nation
                     C       Dand none are more gallantly led.

G

[Chorus]
A                          D                EWhat have we got, but the buzzer in the morning?
          A                          D           EAye, and what have we got, but the laying of a keel?
        A                          D                EAnd what have we got, but the cranes above us soaring?
A                        D             E              AThe commotion and the clamour in the welding of the steel?


[Chorus]
A                          D                EWhat have we got, but the mist upon the river?
          A                          D           ETell me, what have we got, but the noise inside the hold?
        A                          D                EOh, what have we got, but the arse end of the weather?
A                        D             E              AWhere we work in horizontal rain, and shiver in the cold.
