They called our little town Beruit, we grew up there without much loot
A C D G
Street kids with a attitude, we never had fuck all
G D
On the streets we held our own, we watched the gavers raid another home
A C D G
Times gone by now, we've all grown with no regrets at all
[Chorus]
C D G
Oh those were the days, we stood real proud
C D
Those were the days,
G D C D
the revival of the Skinhead
G D C D
We ruled the streets, stood alone
G D C D
The revival of the Skinhead,
C D
Those were the days
G E C D [G]
We stood as one, singing this is my... England!

Alcoholics and single mums, wanna' be gangsters on the run
A C D G
Liberal hippies and junkie scum, down on our estate
G D
Teenage birds getting up the duff, posh birds looking for a bit of rough
A C D G
Have a go Soulboys think they're tough and not a lot has changed
[Chorus]

Oh those were the days, we stood real proud

Greasy spoons and early doors, getting nicked for nicking cars
A C D G
Snakebites on the promenade, graffiti on the walls
G D
Broken windows, littered streets, bunking trains and arcade cheats
A C D G
Leaves a taste so bittersweet, Britannia rules!
[Chorus]

Oh those were the days, we stood real proud
