Em                    G                  D               Bm 
High on the mountain stands a boat, but are they gods or real folk? 
   Em                         G                      D                       Bm 
We can't see the fire but we smell the smoke, who'll take the plough? Who'll be the yoke? 
Em                   G               D               Bm 
Night after night I don't believe, we are the ones you won't deceive. 
Em                G                D             Bm 
Not a thing will you achieve, 'cos we belong and we won't leave. 

 
Em        G          D                            Bm 
Trouble, trouble, I try to chase trouble but it's chasing me. 
Em        G       D                   Bm 
Trouble, trouble, trouble with a capital T.
