Lord Salisbury said to me, "Though we spend our lives in isolation
D        D/C#         D/B     D/A      G          A7  D
Girdled `round by the Emerald Sea, no fear shall we know."
G    G/F#       Em          A7           D       D/C#        D/B     D/A
Look away, look away, look away to the lamp-lit square at the ebb of May
G      G/F#      Em        A7       D   A7   D
Look away, look away, look away for our survival

D    D/C#      D/B       D/A         G         G/F#      Em    A7
Lord Salisbury takes his time, The Gouvernment sits in contemplation
D       D/C#      D/B     D/A        G    A7      D
All is ordered and in its prime, no fear shall we know
G    G/F#       Em          A7          D        D/C#        D/B  D/A
Look away, look away, look away to the fog-bound ship in the icy bay
G      G/F#      Em        A7       D   A7   D
Look away, look away, look away for our survival

       Bm                  F#
On the mantelpiece is a silver clock 
        Bm                        G         A
And it counts the hours and they won`t turn back
      Bm                 F#                Bm        E7    A
The evening sets and the room forgets the day that went before
     Bm          F#    Bm    G         A7       Bm
And through my window Iron wheels on a cobbled mews
    F#        Bm  E7       A   A7
You will know    changes soon

D    D/C#      D/B     D/A        G        G/F# Em     A7
Lord Salisbury read the news and puts the paper on the table
D     D/C#         D/B     D/A         G    A7      D
Many paths will be ours to choose, no fear shall we know
G    G/F#       Em          A7      
Look away, look away, look away 
          D       D/C#          D/B     D/A
To the fleets of steel and the waves of gray
G      G/F#      Em        A7       D   A7   D
Look away, look away, look away for our survival

      Bm                  F#
The Queen is old but she lingers still 
          Bm               G       A
Like the fading ring of a distant bell
    Bm                  F#            Bm       E7     A
And Oscar Wilde in his prison cell laments a brighter day
   Bm        F#       Bm       G           A7      Bm
And in some window a red flag flies in a meeting room
      F#      Bm  E7      A      A7
You will know    changes soon

D    D/C#      D/B     D/A             G        G/F#      Em   A7

G      G/F#      Em        A7  
Look away, look away, look away
         D       D/C#        D/B  D/A
To the lonesome cry of the modern day
G      G/F#      Em        A7       D   A7   D
Look away, look away, look away for our survival
