about

Hi you,

I've created this song as a celebration of the NHS's 70th Birthday this July 5th 2018.

It is also a call to action to all people to do everything you can to keep the NHS "Comprehensive, Universal & Free at the point of delivery", in keeping with it's founding principles.

The lyrics & chords are below, so you can have a go at it yourself too.

Peace & Good Health!

Cathie

lyrics

SING IT OUT - for the NHS
by C.Higginson.

V: ||A|D|A|D|F#m|E|F#m|D|A....||
CH:||:A9|E11:||
REF 1: ||A|A|D|D|A|A|D|D||
REF 2: ||F#m|D|A|F#m|D|A|E|E||
Capo 3

V1: NHS you’re so priceless, I hope you stick around
NHS You do impress, your usefulness abounds
You’re the one that shows us care
From birth to death you’re always there
That’s why we’re cheering for the NHS! NHS! NHS!

V2: NHS you may have guessed, we’re worried about you
NHS Your pound of flesh is dearly bought of you
As corporate powers strip you down
The Nation’s blood it soaks the ground
That’s why we’re fighting for the NHS! NHS! NHS!

CH: Sing it out, from the mountain top
Sing it out, from the bottom of your heart
Sing it out, from the city streets, the city streets
Sing it out

V3: NHS we’ll fix this mess by scrutinising wealth
NHS the world says Yes to universal health
Your service brings us unity
It’s hand in hand we’ll keep you free
That’s why we’re cheering for the NHS! NHS! NHS!

REF1:
You helped my tiny niece to breathe her first
My sister live when we feared the worst
You fixed my heart, my mums, my bro’s
Our flesh & bones, our ears & toes
We’ve worked for you, campaigned for you
When things are bad we count on you
And now my Dad might need you too
My family depends on you

CH: Sing it out, from the mountain top
Sing it out, from the bottom of your heart
Sing it out, from the city streets, the city streets
Sing it out

REF2: Meeting the needs, of everyone
Universal and free, for everyone
Inspirational health, for everyone
That’s why we’re fighting for our NHS! NHS! NHS!
