[Verse 1]
E                    A7                 E                     A7
  Me and the Major could become close friends because we
E                   A7                          E            A7
  Get on the same train and he wants to talk to me
E                    A7                   E                    A7

                    F#m                             A7                        E             A7  E  A7
But there is too much history, too much biography between us

[Verse 2]
E                    A7                      E            A7
  Me and the Major don't see eye to eye on a
E                    A7                          E           A7
  Number of things, he'll take a guy like me, oh yeah

And put him in the army
                     A7                                        E                A7  E  A7
Because the Queen's own army makes a man of you

[Chorus]
             F#m
But he doesn't understand and he doesn't try
        A7
He knows there's something missing and he knows it's you and I
                 C#m
We're the younger generation, we grew up fast
            G#m
All the others did drugs
                                      F#m
They're taking it out on us
                                      A7
They're taking it out on us

  Me and the Major are from different worlds, but if
E                  A7                   E                A7
  I get stuck in the lift it's always with a toff
E                    A7                     E                 A7
  Me and the Major are from different worlds, but if
E                   A7                 E                 A7
  I get stuck in the lift it's always with a man
     F#m                                     A7                               E              A7  E  A7
Of noble standing who looks down on me like I was never born

[Verse 4]
E                  A7                   E              A7
  I think the Major's going quite insane, he goes
E                  A7                              E                 A7
  Along the pavement and comes back again, oh yeah
E                  A7                   E             A7
  I think the Major's going quite insane, he goes
E                  A7                              E              A7
  Along the pavement and comes back again
                F#m                            A7
Like he is on parade, and he is on parade
                   E
At least he thinks so

[Chorus]
                  F#m
Now he is swapping his tent for a sheltered home
        A7
He doesn't have a family and he is living alone
        C#m
He remembers all the punks and the hippies too
              G#m
And he remembers Roxy Music in '72
       F#m
He doesn't understand and he doesn't try
        A7
He knows there's something missing and he knows it's you and I
                  C#m
We're the younger generation, we grew up fast
             G#m
All the others did drugs
                                      F#m
They're taking it out on us
                                       A7
They're taking it out on us
                                      E  A7  E  A7  E  A7  E  A7
They're taking it out on us

[Verse 5]
E               A7                     E              A7
  I want a dance, I want a drink of whisky so I
E                   A7                  E               A7
  Forget the Major and go up the town, oh boy
E               A7                     E              A7
  I want a dance, I want a drink of whisky so I
E                  A7                   E              A7
  Forget the Major and go up the town
                    F#m
Because the snow is falling
                 A
Yeah the snow is falling,
       F#m                                           A
the snow is falling, falling, falling, falling, falling, falling...
