INTRO- G#m F#

(G#m F#) 
Jump down the shelters to get away 
The boys are cockin' up their guns 
Tell us general, is it party time? 
If it is can we all come 

(E F#) 
Don't think that we don't know 
Don't think that we're not trying 
Don't think we move too slow 
It's no use after crying 

Saying 
(G#m F# D#m C#m) 
It's a mistake, it's a mistake 
It's a mistake, it's a mistake

(G#m F#) 
After the laughter as died away 
And all the boys have had their fun 
No surface noise now, not much to say 
They've got the bad guys on the run 

(E F#) 
Don't try to say you're sorry 
Don't say he drew his gun 
They've gone and grabbed old Ronnie 
He's not the only one saying 
(G#m F# D#m C#m) 
It's a mistake, it's a mistake 
It's a mistake, it's a mistake

(G#m F#) 
Tell us commander, what do you think? 
'Cos we know that you love all that power 
Is it on then, are we on the brink? 
We wish you'd all throw in the towel 

(E F#) 
We'll not fade out too soon 
Not in this finest hour 
Whistle your favourite tune 
We'll send a card and flower 

Saying 

(G#m F# D#m C#m) 
It's a mistake, it's a mistake 
It's a mistake, it's a mistake
