[Verse]
Em                         D
Jump down the shelters to get away
Em                                   G
The boys are cockin' up their guns
Em                     D
Tell us general, is it party time?
Em                  G
If it is can we all come

[Bridge]
C                              D
Don't think that we don't know
C                                 D
Don't think that we're not trying
C                             D
Don't think we move too slow
C                            D
It's no use after crying,    saying

[Chorus]
Em              G
It's a mistake, it's a mistake
A         Em    D         Bm      Em
It's a mistake, it's a mistake

[Verse]
Em                     G
After the laughter has died away
Em                              G
And all the boys have had their fun
Em                               D
No surface noise now, not much to say
Em                              G
They've got the bad guys on the run

[Bridge]
C                              D
Don't try to say, you're sorry
C                            D
Don't say, he drew his gun
C                                    D
They've gone and grabbed old Ronnie
C                      D
He's not the only one, saying

[Chorus]
Em              G        Bm
It's a mistake, it's a mistake
A         Em    G
It's a mistake, it's a mistake

[Verse]
Em                 Dm
Tell us commander, what do you think?
Em                                  G
'Cos we know that you love all that power
Em                    G
Is it on then, are we on the brink?
Em                             G
We wish you'd all throw in the towel

[Bridge]
C                            D
We'll not fade out too soon
C                         D
Not in this finest hour
C                           D
Whistle your favorite tune
C                               D
We'll send a card and a flower, saying

[Chorus]
Em              G
It's a mistake, it's a mistake
A      Em       G        Bm
It's a mistake, it's a mistake

G  Bm
Oh Oh

[Outro]
G                        F
It's a mistake, it's a mistake
F      Am   G               Bm
It's a mis  take, it's a mistake
G                      F
It's a mistake, it's a mistake
G                      F
It's a mistake, it's a mistake
G                      Am
It's a mistake, it's a mistake
G        F             Em
It's a mistake, it's a mistake
