Chords for "Members Of The Club"

Members Of The Club

 

D       A7

  I can deal with the national crisis, economic worry and strife

          E 

Though my mind is racked with indecision

D                            A7

Pressures from the radicals, pressures from the right

And appear to appease my critics, yet retain my party line

      E

I can have it both ways at the very same time

        D                        A7

I'm the man in the middle, I can stem the tide



D

And keep the lower classes satisfied

  						  A	

And still make the wealthy think I'm on their side

   D

In government it's always compromise

                   E             A7

To give in and somehow seem dignified



I can say "yes" while appearing to say "no"

Seem radical, yet maintain the status quo

I can defer decisions, manipulate and bluff

But I can't fool the members of the club



F

I'll face the press, I'll face the toughest militants

                       Am

But then I'll face the members of the club (the members of the club)

     F

I'll face Her Grace, Her Majesty will understand

                                 Am

But I'll be in disgrace with the members of the club (members of club)

          Dm

Will my decision be accepted by the club? ( members of the club)

       Bb

Will I still be well-respected by the club? (the members of the club)

          Gm

Or will I bear the front of endless ridicule?

            Bb        C               F 

What is the right and proper thing to do?



I can delegate and engage the opposition

In a sane debate, but not the members of the club (members of club)

I can satisfy demands of queen and country

But I can't get by the members of the club (members of the club)

I can't arrest a member of the club (members of the club)

Except with the permission of the club (members of the club)

If I do there will be questions at the club

So I must comply to satisfy the club



So hesitate and contemplate a little more

For heaven's sake, he's a member of the club

But the ultimate decision rests with you

But if you're wrong, your membership must be reviewed

And then dire consequences might ensue

So you must find the right and proper thing to do
