Lời & hợp âm

[Intro 1]
[D]

[Verse 1]
[D]I came down from Newcastle town
To [C#]the part of the south coast
that I [G]love [D]the most
I was stretched out tight after
a couple of [C#]nights
Going crazy in Glasgow
I think you all know how [D]that goes

[Verse 2]
[G]I needed some peace,
somewhere to stand still
Through the Cotswold hills
down to Portland Bill
And [D]to charge up my batteries
for next weekend
Where I'd be cruising through
Cardiff and ending up in Southend

[Verse 3]
So [A]don't go stopping and putting
down roots
[G]Or your shoes won't fit
in your [C]travelling [D]boots

[Verse 4]
[D]
I met a guy from Cornwall
who'd [C#]never left the county
I told him about the big smoke
I [D]don't think he believed me.
I told him about the scene along the
[C#]south coast to Kent
Across the estuary to East Anglia,
and then I [D]think he knew what I meant

[Verse 5]
A [G]man is bored of life if he's
bored of these islands
All creation is here from Hythe
to the Highlands
[D]The Black Country witnessed
my basest predations
And the road up to Hull is paved

[Verse 6]
with wicked intentions
[A]So don't go stopping
and putting down roots
Or your [G]shoes won't fit in
[D]your travelling boots

[Verse 7]
[Dm]All across the hills and valleys
From the A [D]roads to the sea[A]s
The [Dm]suburbs lead up to the cities
And that's where you'll find

[Interlude 1]
me
[G][Dm][D]
[G][Dm][D]

[Verse 8]
[D]Go mad [G]in Manchester
Wind down in Winchester
Roaming the home counties
where the parties are free
[D]Circling London like dirt round
a storm drain and
Somewhere near Holborn's the

[Verse 9]
heart of the beast
[A]Don't go stopping and putting down roots
Or your shoes won't [D]fit in your
travelling [F#]boots.
[G][A]

[Verse 10]
[D]
Sweet [F#]Albion[G][A][D]
[F#]
[G]around me
[A]Everywhere I [D]go
Sweet [F#]Albion sur[G]round me
You're [A]everything I [D]know
