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]
E F#m
Well you’d best come in, you’d best sit down
E 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.
E F#m
They hammered bluestone by the yard
E 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.
E F#m
I am as Cotswold bred as these
E 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
F# friend to drink with, wife to smile
D A
and Cotswold country by the mile
E F#m
So take your cup and drain it down
E 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]
E F#m
You say you’ll pay five hundred pounds
E F#m
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.
