[Verse 1]
[D]Let me tell
you all a little story of the things I've [G]found,
[D]Hanging out and drinking with my
friends [G]in the cathedral grounds,
And [D]later dodging drunks as we
dance along Jury [G]Street,
As we [D]wander up town to the railway
our friends [G]to meet,

[Verse 2]
There's [A]something about coming
back to [Em]your hometown again,
The [G]place where you grew up and where
you found your firmest friends,
And though [A]none of them still live here,
I've [Em]got nowhere to go,
I'm a [G]Wessex Boy and when I'm here

[Interlude 1]
I'm home
[D][G][D][G][Em]

[Verse 3]
[D]Let me tell you all a little story of
the things I've [G]lost,
[D]Huddling for warmth on the top
step of [G]the [D]Buttercross,
Sitting on the benches by
the bridges at the [G]riverside,
Of [D]counting down the hours for the buses
cause I missed my [G]ride

[Verse 4]
There's [A]something about coming
back to [Em]your hometown again,
The [G]place where you grew up and where you
found your firmest friends,
And though [A]none of them still live here,
I've [Em]got nowhere to go,
I'm a [G]Wessex Boy,
a Wessex boy and when I'm here [Bm]I'm home
And one day I will [G]hear this song an

[Verse 5]
[A]
onymous [D]and sweet,[A]
[Bm]Ringing out from a bus[G]kers guitar on the ancie[A]nt city streets,[D]
[A][Bm]
I'll stand along while and [G]smile
before I con[A]tinue on the [D]road,
[A]And somebody else will sing the words and I'l[G]l

[Interlude 2]
feel like I'm home

[G]There's

[Verse 6]
[D]som[G]eth[Em]ing [A]about
hometowns you [Em]never can escape
The [G]triumphs and the tragedies
and those of little faith
The [A]welling of nostalgia and [Em]feeling kind of strange,
Cause des[G]pite the little changes yeah this
place still feels the same

[Verse 7]
There's [A]something about coming
back to [Em]your hometown again,
The [G]place where you grew up and where you
found your firmest friends,
And though [A]none of them still live here,
I've [Em]got nowhere to go,
I'm a [G]Wessex Boy,
I'm a Wessex boy and when I'm here

[Outro 1]
I'm home
