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