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