Intro
D G D G
[Verse 1]
D G
Five hundred thousand English pounds
G D
For this old house and a piece of ground,
D G
You and your wife have always planned
G D
To settle down in Cotswold land.
[Chorus]
A Bm
Well you’d best come in, you’d best sit down
A D
It’s such a long drive from London town
D G
Would you like some tea now while I tell?
G D
The reasons why I will not sell.
[Verse 2]
D G
This stone built house that you call nice
G D
Was gained at far too high a price,
D G
For me to gaily sign away
G D
What others toiled for night and day.
A Bm
They hammered bluestone by the yard
A D
And they found the rent when times where hard,
D G
And they lived and died beneath the sun
G D
Tending the fields you gaze upon.
[Verse 3]
D G
Well they’re all gone, but as for me
G D
The wild hare still runs as free,
D G
And at dusk the badger travels still
G D
Ancestral highways on the hill.
A Bm
I am as Cotswold bred as these
A D
And I still need these field and trees,
D G
And I need the soil that bore my race
G D
And holds their bones beneath this place.
[Verse 4]
D G
Enough for me this cot of stone,
G D
a might of land to call my own
D G
B friend to drink with, wife to smile
G D
and Cotswold country by the mile
A Bm
So take your cup and drain it down
A D
you would be peasants from the town
D G
Go on your journey let me bide
G D
content in my own countryside
[Verse 5]
A Bm
You say you’ll pay five hundred pounds
A Bm
For this old house and a piece of land,
D G
Well London’s about four hours for me
G D
But in your 4 x 4 you’ll do it in three.
