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