[Intro]

 N.C.
(Oh! my God!)

A    C    Fmaj7/C    Em  G

[Verse 1]

A              C             Fmaj7/C               Em     G    A
You know to be able to run a government you need a bloody good brain
         C              Fmaj7/C       Em          G
To be an MP you must be someone well above the common
A               C                      Fmaj7/C            Em   G
Learn to do the job as you'll properly you need many many qualities
A           C                  Fmaj7/C           Em       G        A*
Ordinary mortals can't command I will tell you later what they all are

[Chorus]

       E                  Bm      D         A*
Stupid fools say it's not hard to do what I do
           E             Bm                D         A*
But let me tell you it's hard you couldn't do what I do
      E             Bm           D        A*
Don't even dream of it you would never succeed
           E        Bm          D              A
People as clever as me are very few and far between

[Verse 2]

                  C                 Fmaj7/C            Em          G    A
You know to be in business to run a company you really need to use your head
                 C                Fmaj7/C    Em  G A
Show me a man of money and I will show you - a genius
          C                            Fmaj7/C                 Em      G
To get to grips with the ins and outs, you all think that it's a piece of cake
A                   C                 Fmaj7/C       Em   G A*
But you know it's taken me many years and I am very remarkable

[Chorus]

       E                  Bm      D         A*
Stupid fools say it's not hard to do what I do
            E             Bm                D         A*
I'm here to tell you it's hard you couldn't do what I do
      E             Bm           D        A*
Don't even dream of it you would never succeed
           E        Bm          D              A
People as clever as me are very few and far between...

[Verse 3]

A           C                Fmaj7/C         Em     G       A
So let me assure you it's no picnic to be in charge of this land
            C                Fmaj7/C  Em   G         A
You scruffy people the lower orders - just know your place
               C                Fmaj7/C                Em   G       A*
Don't ever you try at governing you might find out how difficult it is


[Chorus]

       E                  Bm      D         A*
Stupid fools say it's not hard to do what I do
           E             Bm                D         A*
But let me tell you it's hard you couldn't do what I do
      E             Bm           D        A*
Don't even dream of it you would never succeed
           E        Bm          D              A*
People as clever as me are very few and far between
        E         Bm     D        A*
(We are not equal but we are different)
        E         Bm             D         A*
(It's a dangerous view to say we are born equal)
            E       Bm         D        A*
(It don't appeal to any one of the deputies)
               E     Bm         D        A*
(You know that equality is an impossible dream)
