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