Chords and lyrics

Corona Corona

|B         |E         |B         |E         |A         |B   E   |G        |A         |

The world's gone crazy, I heard it on the news

Stocks and shares are tumbling with coronavirus blues

I'm sitting warm and cozy looking at the snow

Wondering how the hell this is all gonna go

Some politician says we have to sit a yard apart

I'd tell them what I think but I haven't got the heart

Am I sitting in a prison, sitting in a cell

The scenery is heaven let's not turn it into hell

|B         |B         |E         |E         |B         |B         |G         |F#  F   |E         |E         |

This ain't no ibola, or bubonic plague

Are we overreacting, it gets me in a rage

It seems to be no worse than a bad case of flu

Let's tear the world to pieces, hey that seems a very silly thing to do

Maybe I'm just grousing cos my holidays been spoiled

I just keep thinking all this panic planning's overboiled

If we're all gonna get it, why not let it thrive

Let's have a virus party and then get on with our lives.

But they're

|C         |D         | C        |D         | C        |D         | G        |A         |

Closing up the borders

Shutting up the shop

Giving out the orders

Where's it gonna stop

Iock up your old folks

Throw away the key

Health and safety's no joke

So what's it gonna be

Watch out for governments

Taking firm control

There's an argument

They may get to like the role

It can send you reeling

But don't sink into the void

Keep up that wartime feeling

Stop me getting paranoid

London’s in lockdown, Paris is the same

It’s the end of the world, it’ll never be the same

Self-isolation has to make you think

Its enough to drive us all crazy

Its for our own good well, that’s as maybe

If this keeps on , it’ll drive us all to drink                    | final B|
