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