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