Day by day we’re winnowing away
F#m E D
At the kind of world the heathens had their eyes on

Step by step the sun is going to set

On the waves that sully the horizon

So close your eyes and think of England

That boat afloat on the ocean sets my spine a-tingling

So that the boys brigade is singing

Close your e———yes

Close your e———yes

Blow by blow there’s gonna be a show

Deal by deal we’ll crush them on a wheel
F#m E D
Of progress and manifest destiny

That boat afloat all alone on the ocean is sinking

And a telephone is ringing
C#m D
The coastguard have been drinking

Nobody had an inkling
A F#m D
‘Cause they closed their e———yes
A F#m D
Close your e———yes (and think of England)
A F#m D
Close your e———yes (and think of England)
