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 Em
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 Em
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 Em
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
E friend to drink with, wife to smile
C G
and Cotswold country by the mile
D Em
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 Em
You say you’ll pay five hundred pounds
D Em
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.
